Lyrics

I see you walk with him

I see you talk to him

It tears me up, oh, it tears me up

And I can't stop crying

Oh, baby, I can't stop crying


I see you kiss his lips

And squeeze his fingertips

It tears me up, oh, baby, it tears me up

And there's nothing I can do about it

Oh, baby, baby, can't you see I'm still in love with you


It's a faithless world we're living in

When I turn around and there you are with my best friend

Sometimes when you pass on the street

You look at me as if to say I'm sorry my sweet

And being sorry might be enough

Then you look back at him and prepare [?] to smile

And that makes me feel kinda rough

Oh, darling, it tears me up


I see you smile at him

You never tire of him

It tears me up

Oh, baby, it tears me up

There's nothing I can do about it

Baby, can't you see I'm still in love with you


Still hungry for something I can't have

Oh, it tears me up so bad

Still hungry for something I can't have

Tears me up so bad

Can't you see I'm still in love with you

Still hungry for something I can't have

Baby, please, please, please

I'm still hungry for something I can't have

It tears me up so bad

Oh, oh, it tears me up so bad

Tears me up so bad
