Lyrics
Babe when you came my way
I felt so blessed, so Blessed
Babe, I thought our love was here to stay
I gave you my best
Or the lord knows I tried
Cause a little bit of me died inside
Chorus:
A little bit of me died inside
There's a little less of me all the time
I gotta wonder how much longer can you take
More & More / From less and Less / Until there's nothing left.
Verse:2
Babe, when you left the first time
I felt so bad, so bad yea
Babe, you really blew my mind
When I saw you comin backI was so gratified
But A little bit of me died inside
Chorus
Bridge:
But I got to ask you Babe
How much more, how much more of me can you take
You don't miss Your water until the well runs dry
And I didn't miss my tears, until I had no more to cry
SAX SOLO
Verse 3:
Babe, when you left for good
You broke my heart, my heart
Babe, I guess I always knew you would
And its tearing me apart
can't take it in stride
Because A little bit of me died inside
Chorus 2X
