It Takes a Lot of Strength to Say Goodbye Songtext
von Bobby Womack feat. Patti LaBelle

Ooh, I′m hurting inside
Simply because, it takes a lot of strength to say goodbye
Oh, and it's so hard to do, I wonder if I′m wrong
I thought the whole thing over
And I still can't tell you why it's gone
Baby, I can′t accept the pain
That we bring, that we bring to each other
There′s nothing to gain from hurting one another
So I'm walking in the rain (walking in the rain), ooh

Looking for the strength to say goodbye
(Looking for the strength to say goodbye)
My man, I wanna call you and say it′s on again
It's not like I don′t love you, I don't love you anymore
I fought the whole thing over
And it′s not like it was before you're gone, no more


Just one too many times
You say you don't want me and then apologize
′Cause you know your love won′t hurt me
I hope I'm acting wisely, I′m walking in the rain (walking in the rain)
Looking for the strength to say goodbye

No more what's wrong in the morning
No more, no more crisis every night
This is not a warning, you′ve had that before
Baby, I'm tired, I′m tired
I can't take it, I won't take it anymore

Oh, Lord, I wanna call you and say it′s over now
And it′s not like I don't love, I don′t love you anymore
I thought the whole thing over
And I still can't tell you why it′s wrong
And oh girl, I can't accept the pain
That we bring, that we bring
That we bring to each other
There′s nothing to gain from hurting one another
So I'm walking in the rain (oh, I'm walking)

Looking for the strength to say goodbye
(Looking for the strength to say goodbye)
That′s what you got me doing, baby
Oh, I′ve got so much to do
I can't see just what to do (oh, what to do) oh
