I Can Take A Hint Lyrics

[Verse 1: Smokey Robinson]
I really really love you but you are just playing a game
You’re having fun
‘Cause baby, when I hold you, you don’t hold me the same
I’m not the one

[Chorus]
You don’t hold me sweet and gentle like you did before
And I can take a hint, I can take a hint
I know that you don’t love me anymore

[Verse 2]
And baby, when I kiss you your kisses are so cold
They’re cold as ice
I know there’s someone else, girl, and I don’t have to be told
I hope he’s nice

[Chorus]
You don’t kiss me soft and warm like you did before
And I can take a hint, yeah, I can take a hint
I know that you don’t love me anymore
(You don’t love me no more, no more)

[Bridge]
You have to take the bitter with the sweet
So I’ve often heard
I’ve lived a sweet life now here’s there truth
And you’ve told me in so many words
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 3]
To tell you that I love you doesn’t seem to mean a thing
You never listen
And when you say you love me too, it doesn’t cause the bells to ring
There’s something missing

[Chorus]
You don’t say you’re mine sweet and kind like you did before
And I can take a hint, yeah, I can take a hint
I know that you don’t love me anymore, anymore

[Outro]
I don’t have to be hit over my head
Not to know you’re your love is dead
I’m going by something I heard
‘Cause baby, actions speaks louder than words
No more, you don’t love me no more
No more, no more, oh, no more
I get the hint, oh, I get the hint

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
