The Love I Give - Jackie Venson

I was sitting here thinking about you
When I was distracted by the promise of something new
The way you treated me it's a damn shame
'Cos even a fool knows I'm a prize to claim

So I can't be with you
And I can't dwell on you
'Cos the love you gave don't match the love I give

You should know by now swimmin' in a sea of change
Some people run and hide but I ride the wave
I take comfort in knowing this is fact
'Cos even when my chips are down baby I know I'll bounce back

So I can't be with you
And I can't dwell on you
'Cos the love you gave don't match the love I give

And then there are those nights you know
When I think I really need you so
Your warm embrace I long to have
But the love you gave don't match the love I give

Gotta keep pressing on
Gotta keep pressing on
Gotta keep pressing on
Gotta keep pressing on

Oh 'cos the love you gave don't match the love I give
