[Eb] [Gm]
[Eb] You [Bb] [Bb] better [Eb] let me tell ya.
[Eb]
[Bb] You better let me tell ya.
You know, some time ago, [F] our [Eb] pathways parted.
[Bb] Now you may have found bliss, [Eb] yeah, but I found regret.
Maybe you can smile, [C] [Eb] maybe even laugh.
Yeah, [Bb] but all the while, [Eb] I'm trying to forget.
Tears cannot [Gm] express my grief, [F] nor [Eb] words my loneliness.
For they can only tell a part.
Let my heart tell you the [F] rest.
I [C] will season every day of my [Eb] life [Bb] with you.
You better [Eb] let me tell ya.
I will show [Gm] you just [C] what it [Eb] means to [Bb] be true, girl.

[Eb] [Gm] I should have [C] been there.

Got to have you, baby.
[Eb] Oh, I got to have you, baby.
Got to have you, [Bb] baby.
[Eb] Sweeten every hour of my day [Bb] with you.
[Eb] You better let me tell ya.
I would give [Gm] you [C] all those [Eb] things a good [Bb] lady would need.
[Eb] You better let me tell ya.
For you, I'd save up [Gm] all.
[Eb] Give you every.
[Bb] For you, girl.
You [Eb] better let me tell ya.
[Gm] [Eb]
[Bb] [Bb] Ooh, [Eb] ooh, ooh.
Why should [Gm] a man be lonely?
Why should [F] a man be lonely?
Why should [Eb] a man be lonely?
[Cm] When he has someone [Fm] like you.
[Ab] Made [Fm] you believe [Eb] that I got to have you, baby.
Got to have you, baby.
[Bb] Yes, I got to have you, baby.
Got to have you, baby.
[Eb] Oh, I got to have you, baby.
Got to have you,
[Bb] [Eb] baby.
I got to [Gm] travel on.
[C] Down life's [Eb] highway.
[Bb] Searching faces.
[Eb] Some old.
Some new.
Seeking [Gm] someone whom I need the most.
[C] I [Eb] know there can't be two.
[Bb] Yeah, I'm searching for someone.
[Eb] Who's the closest thing to you.
Got to go on.
[Fm] [Eb] [F] I'm on.
