Betty Wright - After The Pain Lyrics
Well, I couldn't resist the urge to tell you the end of my storyFor all those who wanted to know was there life after the painAfter the painYou come and love meAnd I welcome youYou're a glad sight to seeAnd after the rainAnd all that I have been throughI still can't explainHow I can still love you like I doBut I do, yes, I doStill love you like I do (After the pain)Though you still do me like you do (After the pain)After the painWe sit and we talk awhileAnd I fight with all my mightTo hold back the tears from falling with a pleasant smileAnd after the rainI can't believe you got the nerve to still call me, babyAnd I try to tell you, No, it ain't so'But I guess No' just ain't in me'Cause boy, I still love you like I do (After the pain)Though you still do me like you do (After the pain)Yeah, I know you're laughin'Those of you who heard 'Pain'Yeah, you're right, I sure didI said I'd never take him back againWell, it's a woman's prerogative to change her mind isn't it?But we do it all the timeDon't laugh, you probably done the same thing tooIt's just that you know me and I don't know youYou know one thing, time has taught me thatHavin' a piece of man is better than havin' no man at allSo I'mma just take what I got and work with itYou understand what I meanAnd don't you remember thinkin' back just a few yearsWhen people used to try to help you stay togetherThey find out you're on the verge of breakin' upThey used to cook up a little food and throw a little partyAnd whisper things in your ear like'Don't blame Mr. Charlie, Mr. Charlie is just a manAnd he's doing the best he can'I heard 'em say, 'Don't blame Mr. Charlie, Mr. Charlie is just a manAnd he's doing the best he can'That's why I still love you like I do (After the pain)Though you still do me like you do (After the pain, the pain)I know that you know it's trueAfter all I've been throughI should be through with loveBut there's a God up aboveThat keeps sayin', 'Betty tryDon't give up, you know whyThe sun is gonna shine'Cause you are mine, all mine'You just keep doin' your bestAnd I will do the rest'Cause I love you, love you, Betty, like I doThat's why I still love you like I do (After the pain, the pain)Though you still do me like you do (After the pain, the pain)My love is deeper than any oceanAnd my love is higher than any mountainIt's, oh, it's full of emotionMy love is full of devotionMy love is in and out of seasonAnd I love you with or without a reasonYou see God is gonna bless me for lovin' youFor all the times that you treated me wrong and I kept bein' trueYou see, God's eyes they're not closedHe's not asleepSaid He's watchin' everything move you makeEvery secret you keepBoy, you better be carefulHoo....hoo...hoo...hoo...Said if you treat me bad or make my sadMy Father in heaven is watching youBut I still love you like I do (After the pain)And no-n-n-no-n-n-no-n-n-nobody's ever gonna love you like I do (After the pain)No one's ever gonna love you like I doNo one's ever gonna love you like I doNo one's ever gonna love you like I doI don't know why I do, but I do, yes, I do (After the pain)Oh...there's a woman in me that keeps on lovin' you (After the pain, the pain)I don't know why Oh, I don't know why (I don't know why, baby) (After the pain, the pain)I don't know why (I don't know why, baby), but I do (I do)Said I do (I do, I do, I do)Said I...
