David Ruffin

Davis Eli "David" Ruffin (January 18, 1941 – June 1, 1991) was an American soul singer and musician most famous for his work as one of the lead singers of the Temptations from 1964 to 1968 (or the group's "Classic Five" period as it was later known). He was the lead voice on such famous songs as "My Girl" and "Ain't Too Proud to Beg." Known for his unique raspy and anguished tenor vocals, Ruffin was ranked as one of the 100 Greatest Singers of All Time by Rolling Stone magazine in 2008. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989 for his work with the Temptations. Fellow Motown recording artist Marvin Gaye once said admiringly of Ruffin that, "I heard in [his voice] a strength my own voice lacked." more »

I can tear your picture from the wall
But it won't satisfied me at all
I can take the watch you bought me, smash it to the ground
But you'll still be around

I can't fall in love with anybody new
'Cause I'm still hung up in the memories of you
And a mountain is made up of memories
It's just too hard to tear em down

A mountain is made up of memories
It's just too hard to tear 'em down

I followed a car the other day
And it took me five miles out of my way
I couldn't wait 'til it stopped at a light
Because the make and the color of the car was so right

You should've seen the way that a cried
When a stranger looked back at me so surprised
And a mountain is made up of memories
It's just to hard to tear 'em down

And a mountain is made up of memories
It's just to hard to tear 'em down

Thoughts of you, oh how they keep piling up, baby
My everything that I say and oh everything that I do
A movie stub do you remember our favorite record?
And the letter that you wrote me for the last time I heard from you baby

I'm trying so hard to make you understand that you're the only thing that matters
I get down on my knees and beg
'Cause since you've left me I've been out of my head
Do you believe that love could be?
If you do why don't you tell me, baby?

Because a mountain is made up of memories
It's just too hard to tear 'em down

I mountain is made up of memories
It's just too hard to tear 'em down
