You said that you loved me so
And you'd never let me go
Ooh baby, now you're leaving me
Now I had many plans for two
I thought I could depend on you
Hey baby, we should never be

Now should I let my feelings stay
Or should I let them fade away?
I thought our love was here to stay
I never knew you'd be this way

Now darling
I can't believe, girl, you are gone (After, baby)
After we've been in love so very long
I can't believe, girl, you are gone (After, baby)
After we've been in love so very long

Now we were very much in love
And I placed you high above
Ooh baby, now you're leaving me
You said you got another love
And that's all you're thinking of
Hey baby, we should never be

Now should I let my feelings stay
Or I let them fade away?
I thought our love was here to stay
I never knew you'd be this way

Now darling
I can't believe, girl, you are gone (After, baby)
After we've been in love so very long
I can't believe, girl, you are gone (Come on home, girl)
After we've been in love so very long

Baby
Darling, I can't believe, girl, you are gone (Why don't you understand)
After we've been in love so very long (Love so long)
I can't believe, girl, you are gone (We had a love so strong, baby)
After we've been in love so very long (Why don't you come on home)
I can't believe, girl, you are gone (Baby)
After we've been in love so very long
