(The Way) You’re Lovin’ Me.

I called her up when I got the news,
About the sadness that she had,
I let her know it made me blue,
To know today she would be sad,
O’, I heard a tear fall down inside,
Heard it echo in her soul,
I did not want her o’, to cry,
And I was sure to let her know,

She said, I’m not cryin’ from the sorrow,
That’s not the meaning of the tears my eyes can see,
O’, I’m just cryin’ ‘cos it’s beautiful,
The way you’re lovin’ me,

I broke into her troubled past,
She told me more than I should know,
I never wanted it to last,
I promised her I’d let it go,
O’, her tears they fell like rain,
In a Carolina storm,
Soft and heavy o’, with pain,
I just tried to keep her warm,

She said, I’m not cryin’ from the sorrow,
That’s not the meaning of the tears my eyes can see,
O’, I’m just cryin’ ‘cos it’s beautiful,
The way you’re lovin’ me,

I gave her honesty,
I never gave her lies,
Her tears were killin’ me,
To know I made her cry,
But without truth, who am I,

O’, she said, I’m not cryin’ from the sorrow,
That’s not the meaning of the tears my eyes can see,
O’, I’m just cryin’ ‘cos it’s beautiful,
The way you’re lovin’ me,

O’, I’m just cryin’ ‘cos it’s beautiful,
The way you’re lovin’ me.
