Karaoké After the Pain Betty Wright

Well

I couldn't resist the urge to tell you the end of my story

For all of those who wanted to know was there a life after the pain

After the pain you come and love me, ho

And I welcome you

You're a glad sight to see

And after the rain and all that I have been through

I still can't explain how I can still love you like I do

But I do, yes I do still love you like I do

Though you still do me like you do

After the pain we sit and we talk awhile

And I fight with all my might to hold back the tears from falling with a pleasant smile

And after the rain

I can't believe you got the nerve to still call me, baby

And I try to tell you no, it ain't so

But I guess no just ain't in me 'cos boy, I still love you like I do

Though you still do me like you do

Yeah

I know you're laughin' those of you who heard pain

Yeah, you're right, I sure did

I said I'd never take him back again

Well, it's a woman's prerogative to change her mind, isn't it?

But we do it all the time

Don't laugh, you probably done the same thing too

It's just that you know me and I don't know you

You know one thing time has taught me that

Havin' a piece of man is better than havin' no man at all

So I'ma just take what I got and work with it

You understand what I mean and don't you remember

Thinkin' back just a few years when people used to try to help you stay together

They find out you're on the verge of breakin' up

They used to cook up a little food and throw a little party

And whisper things in your ear like

Don't blame mister Charlie mister Charlie is just a man

And he's doing the best he can

I heard 'em say

Don't blame mister Charlie mister Charlie is just a man

And he's doing the best he can that's why I still love you like I do

Though you still do me like you do

I know that you know it's true after all I've been through

I should be through with love but there's a God up above

That keeps sayin', Betty try don't give up, you know why

The sun is gonna shine 'cos you are mine, all mine

You just keep doin' your best and I will do the rest

'Cos I love you, love you

Betty, like I do

That's why I still love you like I do

Though you still do me like you do

My love is deeper than any ocean

And my love is higher than any mountain

It's, oh, it's full of emotion my love is full of devotion

My love is in and out of season

And I love you with or without a reason

You see God is gonna bless me for lovin' you

For all the times that you treated me wrong and I kept bein' true

You see

God's eyes they're not closed

He's not asleep

Said He's watchin' every move you make every secret you keep

Boy, you better be careful ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Said if you treat me bad or make me sad

My father in heaven is watching you

But I still love you like I do

And no no no no no no no no no nobody's ever gonna love you like I do

I say no one's ever gonna love you like I do

No one's ever gonna love you like I do

No one's ever gonna love you like, like I do

I don't know why I do but I do, yes I do

Oh, there's a woman in me that keeps on lovin' you

I don't know why oh, I don't know why

I don't know why

But I do, said I do, said I do

But I love you so yes I do

Baby, don't you know it's true, yes I do baby, no strain

Still love you
