The Girl I Love

Whoa, the girl I love has got to be together
Want her to love and cherish me forever
I've fallen in love too many times
Just to be hurt and treated unkind
I've fallen in love too many times
Just to be hurt and treated unkind
Bout to lose my mind.

I don't want your sympathy for the shape that I'm in
I've been hurt before I don't want it to happen again
I gave you my love so unselfishly
But all that I got back in return was misery
I've fallen in love too many times
Just to be hurt and treated unkind
I've fallen in love too many times
Just to be hurt and treated unkind
Bout to lose my mind
Bout to lose my mind.

My papa told me, son you better wait
But I didn't listen, now I got to pay
If I had listened to what I was told
I can't see how I'd be treated so cold
I've fallen in love too many times
Just to be hurt and treated unkind
I've fallen in love too many times
Just to be hurt and treated unkind
Bout to lose my mind
Bout to lose my mind.

I need a love that I can depend on yeah
I need a love that keeps me going strong
I need a love that shines like a light yeah
I need a love that can keep me uptight
Cause I've fallen in love too many times
Just to be hurt and treated unkind
I've fallen in love too many times
Just to be hurt and treated unkind.

Well I've been hurt, misused, confused, abused
Hey, hey, don't you know
That I've been treated so bad, treated so cold
Somebody please have mercy on my soul
Because I've fallen in love too many times
Just to be hurt and treated unkind.
