Stephanie Mills Lyrics
"I Can't Give Back The Love I Feel For You"

(Nickolas Ashford, Valerie Simpson & Brian Holland)

Here's a tear
For a souvenir
And a dream
That's torn at the seams
Here's the promise that you made to me
Of the tomorrow that I'll never see
And then you're free to go

But I can't give back the love I feel for you
I'm gonna be stuck with it
No matter what I do, oh I
Can't give back the love I feel for you
I'm gonna be stuck with it
No matter what I do

Here's the ring
That didn't mean a thing
And the letters you wrote
That gave my young heart hope
Take the pillow where my dreams are made
And the mind, where the thought of you stayed
But baby, you should know

That I can't give back the love I feel for you
I'm gonna be stuck with it
No matter what I do

Take these arms that held you close
Thought I was the one you needed the most
Take these eyes that once could see
Now a reflection of my misery

But I can't give back the love I feel for you
I'm gonna be stuck with it
No matter what I do
No, I can't give back the love
It's a part of me
If you want just a little bit
You gotta take all of me

I can't get it back
I can't give it back, oh no, no, no
Oh I (can't give it back)
I can't give it back
No matter what, no matter what
(Can't give it back)
I can't give it back, no
(Can't give it back)
No, no, no, no, no, no

I can't give back the love I feel for you, oh oh
I'm gonna be stuck
No matter what I do
Oh I
I can't give back the love I feel for you, oh no no no
I'm gonna be stuck with it
No matter what, no matter what, no matter what I do
I can't give back the love I feel for you
Oh, ohh, I'm gonna be stuck with it
No matter what I do
Oh, I can't give back the love
I feel, I feel, I feel, yeah
I'm gonna be stuck with it,
Oh yeah, oh yeah
I can't give back the love I feel for you
No matter, no matter
I'm gonna be stuck with it, ooh
No matter what, no matter, no matter, matter what, oh yeah
I can't give back, I won't give it back
I won't even sending it back, oh no, no, no, no
I'm gonna be stuck, oh, oh, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah
