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.

Otis Ray Redding Jr. (1941-1967) was an American soul singer, considered one of the most influential artists in the genre. Born in Dawson, Georgia, Redding began his musical career singing in churches and nightclubs in the Southern United States. In 1962 he signed with Stax Records, where he achieved success with songs like "Respect" (a cover of Aretha Franklin's) and "Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fine". His powerful and emotive vocal style, characterized by a wide range and an extraordinary ability to interpret, made him one of the most beloved soul singers. Among his most famous songs are "I've Been Loving You Too Long", "Try a Little Tenderness" and the posthumous worldwide success "(Sittin' on) the Dock of the Bay". His tragic death in a plane crash in 1967, at the age of only 26, marked the end of a promising career and left a void in the musical landscape. Redding is remembered as a brilliant and innovative artist who helped define the style of modern soul.

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.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
