The more I try to love you

The more I seem to loose

It’s a woman of your making, girl,

That makes me sing the blues

There’s no choice, girl

Nothing left for me to loose

I’m just living what I feel

I feel those tender lovin’ blues

I pray for you each morning

I cry for you each night

And all the hours in between

I long to see some light

Won’t you shine on me baby

Shine on me like you do

All I need is one sweet smile, girl

To ease these tender lovin’ blues

I liked it when you loved me

I know you liked it to

Now that it’s all over, babe

I’m hurtin’ through and through

This is love, babe?

I thought love was real and true

Until this pain is gone, I’ll be

Singing my tender lovin’ blues
