(I've Given You) The Best Years Of My Life |
I’ve given you, I’ve given you |
I’ve given you, I’ve given you |
The best years of my life |
You don’t even know what I’m crying for |
And you don’t even care, if I love you anymore |
You’d do anything just to be free |
Without even thinking of me |
But I’ve given you the best years of my life |
You can’t even see what I’ve done for you |
The love that I gave, doesn’t mean anything to you |
Oh, you expect me to make a new start |
After leaving and breaking my heart |
And I’ve given you the best years of my life |
Even though you’ve decided to go |
There is something you just have to know |
I desperately, desperately love you so… |
I’ve given you, I’ve given you |
(I've given you, I’ve given you) |
I’ve given you, I’ve given you |
(I've given you, I’ve given you) |
The best years of my life |
You don’t even care what becomes of me |
You just want me out of your way |
And then you’re done with me |
Oh, well: as soon as you walk out the door |
There is nothing for me to live for |
'Cause I’ve given you the best years of my |
Given you the best years of my |
Given you the best years of my life |
(I've given you, I’ve given you) |
Oh! |
Don’t you know I gave them |
(I've given you, I’ve given you) |
A long time ago, yes I did |
(I've given you, I’ve given you) |
How could you leave me here, baby? |
(I've given you, I’ve given you) |
Drowning in my own tears, yeah |
As soon as you walk out the door |
There is nothing for me to live for |
Oh, 'cause I’ve given you the best years of my |
Given you the best years of my |
Given you the best years |
The best years of my life, baby |
(I've given you, I’ve given you) |
Don’t you see me down here on my knees, baby? |
(I've given you, I’ve given you) |
Honey, how could you leave me here |
(I've given you, I’ve given you) |
How could you leave me here, baby |
(I've given you, I’ve given you) |
Don’t you know that I love you, with all my heart and soul |
Soon as you walk out the door |
There’s nothing for me to live for |
'Cause I’ve given you, oh, the best years of my |
Given you the best years of my |
Don’t you know I’ve given you the best years |
(I've given you, I’ve given you) |
The best years, the best years of my life |
(I've given you, I’ve given you) |
Baby, yeah yeah, don’t you leave me honey |
(I've given you, I’ve given you) |
Don’t you know that I need you |
(I've given you, I’ve given you) |
I need you with all my heart and soul, yes I do baby |
Oh yeah, one thing I want you to know… |
I’ve given you the best years of my… |
