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 life
after the pain
After the pain
you come and
love me
Ah
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
'Cause 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've 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'mma just take
what I've 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
'cause you are mine
all mine
You just keep
doin' your best
and I will do the rest
'Cause 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 watching
every move you make
every secret you keep
Boy
you'd better
be careful
Hoo hoo hoo hoo
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
Say
No one's ever
gonna love you li-i-i-ike I do
No one's ever
gonna love you li-i-i-ike I do
No one's ever
gonna love you
li-i-i-i-i-i-ike
like I do
I don't know why I do
but I do
Yes I do
Ohh there's a woman in me
that keeps on lovin' you
I don't know why
Ohh I don't know why
I don't know why
but I do I do
Said I do
Said I
I do
I don't know why baby
But I love you so
Yes I do
Baby don't you know
it's true
yes I do
Baby
No strain
