How Could I Let You Get Away

About How Could I Let You Get Away

"How Could I Let You Get Away" is a song recorded by the American vocal group The Spinners (known as "Detroit Spinners" in the UK). Produced by Thom Bell and recorded at Philly's Sigma Sound Studios, the lush, string-augmented production of the song drew comparisons to another Bell - produced group, The Stylistics. The song was recorded for inclusion on the group's 1972 self-titled debut album on Atlantic Records. It was also the A-side of the group's first single release on Atlantic in July 1972. It was the first Spinners hit to feature lead vocals by Philippé Wynne (with Henry Fambrough on close harmony, both of their vocals were multitracked). The song had modest success on the charts, reaching number fourteen on the U. S. R&B charts and crossing over to the U. S. Pop charts peaking at number seventy seven. However, it would be the single's B-side, "I'll Be Around" led by the Spinners' other lead singer Bobby Smith, that would be the group's real chart breakthrough, becoming a #1 R&B and #3 pop hit in the fall of 1972 and eventually reaching sales of over a million copies. more »

One of a kind love affair is
The kind of love that you read about in a fairy tale
Like the sun that shines on a rainy day, its a cloud of love 
One of a kind love affair is
When your down is up, when your up is down
But love stays around
And when you know you're right, but you got to make a little sacrifice
You make it for love
Who-oh-oh-oh, yeah
I never thought about today would come
When she would leave without good-bye, yes, sir.
She wrote a line or two upon the wall 
Said, I'm leaving you, know I love you too
I can't stay with you 
And this very day, I could never say a discouraging word
'Cause I love you 
Who-oh-oh-oh, yes, siree, now
(One of a kind) love affair is
When you hate to say girl I told you so, but you gotta go
There won't be a fight, 'cause your love is right
But you're leaving wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong
(One of a kind) ooh (love affair is) Ooh yeah
When you treat her nice but you finally have to pay the price
And though you know you're right
But you got to make a little sacrifice
You make it for love
You make it for love
Yeah-heh-heh-heh
 
One of a kind love affair is
Makes you want to love her, you just have to hurt her, yeah
One of a kind, one of a kind, love affair is
Makes a lame man walk, makes a blind man talk about seein' again
(One of a kind) ooh-oh (love affair is) my-hy
It makes you me want to be around ya, Ah, girl, I'm glad I found you
(One of a kind) wooh-ee, baby (love affair is) I want to tell you now
Every day is sunshine, girl, you're on my mind
One of a kind, one of a kind love affair is
Makes me want to, want to be with you
