You laughed 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 lightning pounded hard and steady As far as I could see But listen I'm not worried Cause somewhere there's a love for me These teardrops can not 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 Would I ever destroy my life Listen, I'll never dial your number No, I'll never never knock on your door Not for the love of you woman Would I ever cry no more Ummmm These teardrops can not blind me, no 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 Would I ever destroy my life But not for the love of you woman Would I ever destroy my life Can you hear me Not for the love of you woman hey Lord Would I ever destroy my life Oh no not for the love of you woman Ummmm no no no no No not for the love of you woman No no no no Honey honey honey honey
