Lyrics
It's not the way you smile
That touches my heart
It's not the way you kiss
That tears me apart
Many, many, many nights go by
I sit alone; at home, I cry over you
What can I do?
Can't help myself
('Cause baby, it's you)
You should hear what they say about you (cheatin')
They say you've never, never, never been true, oh-oh-whoa (whoa-oh-oh)
It doesn't matter what they say
I'm gonna love you, any old way
What can I do
When it's true?
(Don't want nobody, oh)
('Cause baby, it's you)
(Ahh)
(Whoa-oh-oh)
Many, many, many nights go by
I sit alone; at home, I cry over you
What can I do?
(Can't help myself)
('Cause baby it's you)
(Wah-sha-la-la-la-la-la-la)
(Ooh)
