I've been loving you
Too long, to stop now
You were tied
And you want to be free
My love is grown stronger
As you become a habit to me
Ooo, been loving you, too long
I don't wanna stop, now
Oh, no
With you my life
Has been so wonderful
I can't stop, now
You were tied
And your love is growing cold
My love is going stronger
As our affair, affair, grow old
I've been loving you, oh too long, long
To stop now
Ooh, ooh-oh
I've been loving you-ooo-ooo
A l'il too longer on
I don't wanna stop it, now
Ooh, ooh
Don't make me stop, then
Ooh, beggin' you
Down on my knees
Please don't make me come beg
Lord! I love you, I love you!
With all my heart
And I can't stop, now
Please!
Please!
Please!
Please, don't
FADES-
Don't make me stop loving
All my heart and soul
Crying
I'm in love
Ooo, given you too much.

La canzone divenne un piccolo successo della Volt Records, una sussidiaria della famosa etichetta del "Southern soul" Stax, di Memphis nel Tennessee.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
