But I got to put you down a little while You know it hurts way down inside Well, I can't quit you, baby Well, I can't quit you, darlin' Well, you done made me mess up my happy home Made me mistreat my only child Ah, when you hear me moanin' and groanin'

Love of my life, can't you see? What it means to me Don't take it away from me Love of my life Love of my life, you've hurt me You've broken my heart and now you leave me Bring it back, bring it back Don't take it away from me, because you don't know
