Billy Joe Royal The Greatest Love Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Your other love buys you pretty clothes
And all the fine things
And Heaven only knows that I wish I could

[Verse 2]
Your other love dances, and he sings
And swings and says all the witty little things
That a playboy should

[Pre-Chorus 1]
He's got money, he's got charm
And when you're walkin' arm in arm
It hurts me so
But I'm gonna let you go

{Chorus}
And it's not easy, Heaven knows I've tried
To wish the best for you, push myself aside
It takes the greatest love that you'll ever find
To let you walk away leavin' me behind
And that's the greatest love

[Bridge]
Mm, mm-mm, mm [Verse 3]
Your other love he's got the power
To entertain you each and every hour
Of the day and night

[Verse 4]
Your other love he's got the ways and the means
To show you all the wild scenes
Where the lights are bright

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Ah, but love should never be possessed
So don't you cry and be depressed
You're free to go
But I just want you to know

[Chorus]
It's not easy, Heaven knows I've tried
To wish the best for you, push myself aside
It takes the greatest love that you'll ever find
To let you walk away leavin' me behind
And that's the greatest love

[Outro]
Whoa, whoa
