I've been loving you too long
To stop now

You worked hard and you want to be free
My love is growing stronger as you become a habit to me

I've been loving you a little too long
I can't stop now

With you my life has been so wonderful
I can't stop now

You worked hard and your love is growing cold
My love is growing stronger as our affair grows old

I've been loving you a little too long
I don't want to stop now

Oh, oh

I can't, I can't stop now
Don't make me stop now
It's too late, it's too late, it's too late
I can't stop, I can't stop now
Don't leave me, don't leave me
Don't leave me now
I can't stop, I can't stop loving you now
No, no, no
