Lyrics

[Intro] Mmm mmm [Verse 1] See the teardrops as they fall from my eyes Oh, see the man cry (See the man cry) [Chorus] 'Cause I know, I know That love gives, and love takes away Said a heart full of love can be so empty today [Verse 1] Listen, every man he wants to be Thought of as strong But he needs the love, just to help him, help him along I said, sometimes he may stumble But always a man who stand If he has a love of his own, give him a helping hand [Pre-Chorus] Listen, but if his love goes away, oh (If your love goes away) He'll learn what I did on that very day (Hе'll find out it goes away) [Chorus] He'll know that love givеs, and love takes away Said a heart full of love can be so empty today Listen, when pain fills your heart Where once there was joy Then a full-grown man can be a small, crying boy [Verse 2] Listen, once love showed me sunshine And guided my way To the girl that I needed, you know I found her one happy day Then just for a moment, love made me feel good Then I stood tall and smiling, just the way a big man should [Pre-Chorus] Listen, but one day I found that my girl had gone, oh baby (I found out she had gone) And now my heart is sadder than the words that tell this song [Chorus] It's saying that love gives, oh yeah, and love takes away A heart full of love can be so empty today Said when pain fills your heart Where once there was joy Then a full-grown man can be a small, crying boy [Verse 3] Listen, now all I do is wonder I'm hoping for the day That love will give me one more chance to come on back my way [Pre-Chorus] And now, all I do is wait, oh yeah (All I do is wait) Hoping love will find me and praying not too late [Chorus] And knowing that love gives, it gives, it gives, yes it does (Love takes away) A heart full of love can be so empty today Said when pain (Pain fills your heart) Oh, baby (Where once there was joy) Then a full-grown man can be a small, crying boy [Outro] Love gave me joy (Love gives) And it took it away (Love takes away) Love gave me sunshine, baby And it darkened all of my days And I know that love ...
