Darling if you've been a hurting I don't care what it is I want to help for certain, but it takes more than a kiss All this love and affection I'm feeling for you now Send it back in my direction, girl I can show you how My love is coming on strong And you know, you've been gone away too long Bring back, bring back your lovin' to me Bring back, bring back your lovin' to me All that words that passed between us Spoken in haste Could have gone back and forth to Venus For all the time we waste Staying angry at each other Sometimes just for anger's sake I don't want no other lover I got too much here at stake Our love is worth fighting for And you know it, even as you close that door Every night I sit and watch for you, baby I pray to God you haven't found somebody else But I could never care, like I care for you When I hurt you girl, well I just can't stand myself They say pride will be our downfall Girl I've swallowed mine I'm begging you, baby, come back And I will tow the line To the top of the Eiffel Tower To the bottom of the sea If it means just one more hour Your love will shine on me Our love is worth fighting for And you know it, even as you close that door Bring back, bring back your lovin' to me Bright it right back here baby Bring back, bring back your lovin' to me I want you sweet lovin' right now
