You left the day you left me
You were glad I was lonely and blue
But the good Lord won't let me suffer
Not for the love of you
The wind and lightning pound hard and steady,
Lord, as far as I could see.
But listen, I'm not worried,
for somewhere there's
a love for me.
These teardrops cannot blind me,
when they pass I will open my eyes.
You won't believe
me when I tell you
But not for the love of you,
Would I ever destroy my life
I'll never dial your number
I'll never, never knock on your door,
no, no
Not for the love of you, woman
Would I ever cry no more
These teardrops cannot blind me
When they pass, I will open my eyes
You won't believe me when I tell you
But not for the love of you, woman
will I ever destroy my life no no
not for the love of you wo man will
I ever destroy my life
can you hear me baby
not for the love of you woman
well I ever destroy my life
Oh you
