Since You Ain't Around Songtext
von Gerald Levert

Baby, I′m tired of lyin'
To myself when it comes to you
And lately I′m just short on cryin'
Testifyin', girl, I′m missin′ you
Pushed aside, foolish pride
Made up my mind
Baby girl, I'm needing you

Yes, I am
I can′t front, you're the one
Without you, girl
There ain′t no love
Ain't no love, yeah, yeah

Oh, oh, and I′m convinced that there just ain't none
No love, no joy, no smiles
Since you ain't around
Just pain and ups and downs
Since you ain′t around


Baby, I ain′t too proud
Beggin' you to come back to me
A grown man ain′t s'posed to cry
But I can′t stop the tears
Since you ain't here with me
How I miss when we kiss
The time we spent
Baby, in each other′s arms
Felt safe and warm, hey

Oh, oh, and I'm convinced that there just ain't none
No love, no joy, no smiles
Since you ain′t around
Just pain and ups and downs
Since you ain′t around

I don't like bein′ alone
And when they're playin′ our song
On the radio
I get emotional
Baby girl, I'm sincere
Girl, I′m needing you here
I think by now you should know
I can't seem to let you go, no, no, no
Baby girl, I need you here and now
Things ain't the same since you ain′t around, no, no


Oh, oh, and I′m convinced that there just ain't none
No love, no joy, no smiles
Since you ain′t around
Just pain and ups and downs
Since you ain't around

Since you ain′t around

Said I can't sleep no more
Since you ain′t around

I can't feel no more
Since you ain't around

I can′t laugh no more
Since you ain′t around
Said life ain't fun no more
Since you ain′t around, baby
Since you ain't around
Since you ain′t around, baby
Since you ain't around, baby
Since you ain′t around
I ain't the same, I ain't the same
Since you ain′t around, baby
