Oh, you cant say nothing to the pouring rain
And you cant say nothing till theres hope
Again -
(say) - oh my baby - you must never change
For were only the ones we love
And Ive stood stolen by the paupers heart
Yes, Ive stood stolen where the aching starts
But the way you watched - its a life apart

For were only the ones we love
Only
Only
Youre the only one who could say
I could love this way
I could love this way

Oh, you cant get even with this kind of pain
But to see you steady brings the calm, again
(say) - oh my baby - let them stay the same
For were only the ones we love
And theyve seen something which Ill never see
But - I dreamed something when you fell for me
(yeah), I dreamed something which soars above

For were only the ones we love
Only the ones we love
Yes, love, and love, mmm, mmm
This love, love
Oh, I get tired - and I get old
But to see you steady brings a flood of gold
(say, oh, my baby) - Ive been taught and told

Were only the ones we love
Only the ones we love
Love, love, mmm, mmm
This love, mmmm, mmm
