You made me leave my happy home
You took my love and now you're gone
Since I fell for you
Love brings such misery and pain
I guess I'll never be the same
Since I fell for you
It's so bad, It's so sad
I'm in love with you
You love me, then you snub me
But what can I do
I'm still in love with you
I guess I'll never see the light
I get the blues 'bout every night
Since I fell for you
Since I fell for you

REBA: When you just give love
NATALIE: And never get love
REBA: You'd better let love depart
NATALIE: I know that it's so and yet I know
REBA: I can't get you out of my heart
NATALIE:

You made me leave my happy home, oh-ooh-wooh-ooh
You took my love and now you're gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
Since I fell for you, ah, yea-eah
REBA:
Ooh, love (NATALIE: Sing with me)
Brings such misery and pain
I guess I'll never, no I guess I'll never be the same
Since I fell for you
NATALIE:

Well, well it's too bad (REBA: Well it's too bad)
And it's too sad (REBA: It's too sad)

Oooh, you love me (REBA: Wooh-ooh, you love me)
An' then ya, an' then ya snub me (REBA: You bad boy)
But what can I do

Since I fell for you
(NATALIE: Aah, come on, come on, come on an' tell me, hey)
Ooh, it's too bad (NATALIE: It's too bad)
And it's too sad (NATALIE: Ooh, and it's much too sad)
'Cause I'm still in love with you
First you love me (NATALIE: Oh, you love me)
Then you snub me (NATALIE: Oh, you snub me, baby)
Oooh, what can I do
I'm still in love with you
REBA:
