Isaac Hayes Your Loving Is Much Too Strong Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Wake up baby, the sun is in our face
We overslept, and daybreak has caught us
And now we gotta get outta this place
I'll check and see if the halls are clear
And neither one of us can afford
To let it be known that we were here

[Chorus]
I know that it's wrong, but I keep hangin' on
I can't leave you alone
'Cause your lovin' is much too strong
[Verse 2]
Well you have your obligations, and I have mine too
I wouldn't jeopardize your situation
Or make any great demands of you
But I have to be with you once a week
That's all I live for
And each time we're together
It seems so much better than the time before

[Chorus]
I know, yeah (I know that it's wrong)
I can't help it, baby (But I keep hangin' on)
Hangin' on, I can't, I can't, no no (I can't leave him alone)
'Cause your lovin' is much too strong

[Verse 3]
Hold me baby, and kiss me one more time
Oh how I wish that I were yours
And you were only mine, yeah yeah
Let me check you over, got to be sure everything is in place
We got our stories together
'Cause we know what we got to face
And if our friends found out about us
They would call it a disgrace
But if our home life was together
We wouldn't have a need to sneak this way
[Chorus]
Now I know, I know (I know that it's wrong) I know it's wrong (But I keep hangin' on)
I keep, I keep hangin' on
I can't be alone, 'cause your love is much too strong, yeah yeah

[Refrain]
I know, I know (I know that it's wrong)
I don't want to be right, yeah (But I keep on hangin' on)
Hangin' on to you with all my might
I can't, help me (I can't leave you alone)
Help me somebody ('Cause your lovin' is much too strong)
Your love, your love
I know, I know, yeah (I know that it's wrong)
I keep on hangin' to you, baby (But I keep on hangin' on)
I can't, I'm too weak for it (I can't leave you alone)
I can't leave, you shouldn't have loved me so good, baby
('Cause your lovin' is much too strong)
Yes it is, yes it is, yes it is
I said I can't, I know, I know (I know that it's wrong)
I know it's wrong, you don't have to tell me
(But I keep on hangin' on)
You're the best thing I ever had, I can't lose you
(I can't leave you alone)
Ooh, help me y'all, help me
('Cause your lovin' is much too strong)
Oh love me, I said I know, I know, I know, I know
(I know that it's wrong)
[Outro]
I can't help me now (But I keep on hangin' on)
I never let you go, you're the best thing I ever had
(I can't leave you alone)
I can't leave you alone ('Cause your lovin' is much too strong)
'Cause your lovin' is a-much
