When you went away I cried
Cried for so long
And I wanted you to stay
Ah but that was all wrong
The pain you left behind
Has become part of me
And it`s burned out a hole
Where my love used to be
But it`s not losing you
That`s got me down so low
I just can`t find another man
To take your place
Well you know I love you
But that wasn`t enough
We both fell apart
When things got too tough
And I`ve learned how to give now
But what good
But what good would that do
No one can touch me
The way you used to do
And it`s not losing you
That`s got me down so low
I just can`t find another man
To take your place
Well I know your opinion
Of me is not good
Please try to understand
That I`d change
Well I`d change if I could
And this coldness inside me
Well it`s starting to build
And a woman can`t be a woman
Unless she`s fulfilled
But it`s not losing you
That`s got me down so low
I just can`t find another man
To take your place
There`s no one can
