I've Been Loving You Too Long Songtext
von Aretha Franklin

I can′t do it, baby
I can't do it, baby
I can′t do it, baby
I can't do it, baby
I can't do it, baby
You hurt my feelings asking me that
I can′t do it, baby
Don′t ask me that no more, baby, can't do it
I can′t do it, baby
I swear I can't do it, baby
I can′t do it, baby

I've been loving you too long, and I don′t wanna stop now
I've been loving you much too long to stop now, ooh


You're tired, and you want to be free (yeah)
But ah baby, your love has become a habit to me
I′ve been loving and loving and loving and loving and loving you too long
And I ain′t gonna stop now (don't wanna stop now)
I don′t wanna do it (don't wanna stop)

Baby, with you in my life
My life has been so wonderful
I don′t wanna stop now
(You laid it on me so good, I just cannot stop, yeah)

You're tired, and your love is growing cold (so funky now)
But my love is, yes, as our affair grows old
I′ve been loving and loving and loving you too long, baby
You must be crazy if you think I'm gonna stop now
(Don't wanna stop, no)
I said I can′t stop now (don′t wanna stop, no)
I may not look so good to you no more (don't wanna stop, no)
And I think I need what you want, baby, baby (just can′t do it, baby)
Yeah, yeah

(Just can't do it, baby)
I can′t do it, I can't do it
I′ve tried, I've tried, yes I have
