I know its time now To make a change in my life There has been this empty feeling My heart is full of strife Oh it makes me sad When I remember That you weren't there no When I needed you Now I feel Your love was never real 'cause you gave nothing Now I know Though I loved you so You gave nothing There's never a hug when I need it Where was the wanted kiss Where was the listening ear What kind of love is this ? Where was the reaching hand To hold my needy hand Where was the protective man Who would understand? Now I feel Your love was never real 'cause you gave nothing Now I know Though I loved you so You gave nothing There was never any comfort When darkness called Where were you been I couldn't find you at all? Where was the belief In my talents and abilities Were you so self-absorbed That you couldn't please ? I know now that I'm tired (lord have mercy) And I know that I'm through 'cause I can't get I can't get, no What I need from you What I need What I need What I need is love What I need is love And it's not me you're thinking of Now I got to move on (I can tell it's time) I got to move on I'm moving on I'm movin' on (Lord have mercy) I'm gone
