(Jim Rushing)

It's comin' all apart babe with every tearin' word
I've lost my taste for what I take from you
When a painful night of silence is a sweetest sound I've heard
Till I play your game I'm cheatin' on the truth.

It takes too many tears to make love strong
Too much of me for me and you to get along
I'd need another lifetime but I'll never last that long
It takes too many tears to make love strong.

Takes a lotta livin' a lot of goin' through
To finally see an end to goin' down
There's no gettin' up my courage for making up the few
'Cause making up just finds another round.

It takes too many tears to make love strong
Too much of me for me and you to get along
I'd need another lifetime but I'll never last that long
It takes too many tears to make love strong.

It takes too many tears to make love strong
Too much of me for me and you to get along
I'd need another lifetime but I'll never last that long
It takes too many tears to make love strong...
