Don't You Know a True Love Songtext
von The O’Jays

I′m a man, but still I'm gon′ cry
'Cause I had true love and let it slip by
Now you might say, how do I know?
I know 'cause my conscience told me so

Now every night, just about ten
I can hear my conscience startin′ again

It will say (don′t you know a true love when you see one?)
That's my conscience saying (don′t you know a true love when you see one?)
Saying it loud and clear (don't you know a true love when you see one?)
That′s my conscience saying (don't you know a true love when you see one?)
Bouncing off the walls of my head, hauntin′ me
Tauntin' me, better get wise

If you think no one wants your girl but you
Just treat her wrong she'll leave you too
When you find true love, you better treat her right
You won′t have to hear your conscience at night


Saying (don′t you know a true love when you see one?)
That's my conscience saying (don′t you know a true love when you see one?)
Saying it loud and clear (don't you know a true love when you see one?)
That′s my conscience saying (don't you know a true love when you see one?) Uh

Bouncing off the walls of my head, hauntin′ me
Tauntin' me
Bouncing off the walls of my head, hauntin' me
Tauntin′ me

Listen to me, take a fools advice
′Fore you treat your girl wrong, you'd better think twice
You carry your conscience everywhere you go
And you better believe it′s gonna haunt your soul

It will say, now (don't you know a true love when you see one?)
That′s my conscience saying (don't you know a true love when you see one?)
Saying it loud and clear (don′t you know a true love when you see one?)
That's my conscience saying (don't you know a true love when you see one?)
Bouncing off the walls of my head, hauntin′ me
Tauntin′ me, oh, leave me alone


Don't you know true love when you see it?
Oh, don′t you know true love when you see it?
I said, now bouncing off the walls of my head
I said, hauntin' me, tauntin′ me
I said, bouncing off the walls of my head
Hauntin' me
