So Soon We Change - David Ruffin

Seems like only yesterday We were laughing like a couple of kids Fun we had when first met Ain't been around much since Sharing every hour every day Funny how time slips away But there's no replacement, baby When the good times fade away Oh how soon we changed Oh how soon we changed Funny how soon we change Oh how soon we changed You remember Casey's bar And Maxfields after dark We were different people then Inseparable never apart But now the novelty is wearing thin We spend most time arguing It was all so easy then It'll never be again Oh how soon we changed Oh how soon we changed Oh how soon we changed Oh how soon we changed I thought I knew you inside out But obviously I was wrong Makes no difference what I say We just don't get along Face the facts it can never last We're driffing apart real fast I'd gladly give up everything To start all over again Oh how soon we changed Oh how soon we changed Funny how soon we changed Oh how soon we changed Oh how soon we changed Funny how soon we changed Oh how soon we changed Oh how soon we changed

You say, sometimes, it's like I hardly know you And maybe there's some things I never showed you Sometimes you're certain, but I just can't get it working at all You say to yourself somebody better Will understand you more than I ever I'll shake his hand, and smile, and say I understand, well I do That don't mean I don't think about you I know we Said it's just as well that I won't keep, keep you for myself But, I don't want to see you happier with somebody else Oh, why can't you just be lonely, lo-lonely, lo-lonely? Why can't you just be lonely, lo-lonely, lo-lonely? Why can't you just be lonely, lo-lonely, lo-lonely?

Why can't you just be lonely, lo-lonely, lo-lonely? Why can't you just be lonely, lo-lonely, lo-lonely? I know you need someone too This just feels so And I know it seems beneath me But sometimes it's not so easy To wish you well and let you go And I say it's just as well That I just can't keep you for myself I don't want to see you happier with somebody else Oh, lonely, lo-lonely, lo-lonely? Why can't you just be lonely, lo-lonely, lo-lonely? Why can't you just be lonely, lo-lonely, lo-lonely? This just feels so This just feels so Feels so soon (Lonely, lo-lonely, lo-lonely?)

Gone so soon Our time ran out I was barely close to you There's disappointment here Between us two Now you're gone so soon Gone so soon Nothing feels like it was supposed to do I hate to put you out If your heart's not in it, too I wish our time was not gone so soon All the plans we made Are now being remade with someone new There's nothing left for me to say Just accept you're gone so soon Getting back close to you I always thought I'd be close to you I never dreamed I'd see the day That you would go away And be gone so soon And be gone so soon

As I walk this land of broken dreams I have visions of many things But happiness is just an illusion Filled with sadness and confusion What becomes of the brokenhearted Who has love that's now departed? I know I've got to find Some kind of peace of mind, baby The roots of love grow all around But for me, they come tumblin' down Everyday heartaches grow a little stronger I can't stand this pain much longer I walk in shadows searching for light Cold and alone, no comfort in sight Hoping and praying for someone to care Always moving and goin' nowhere What becomes of the brokenhearted Who has love that's now departed? I know I've got to find Some kind of peace of mind, help me please I'm searching, though I don't succeed For someone's love, there's a growing need All is lost, there's no place for beginning All that's left is an unhappy ending Now what becomes of the brokenhearted Who has love that's now departed? I know I've got to find Some kind of peace of mind I'll be searching everywhere Just to find someone to care I'll be looking everyday I know I'm gonna find a way Nothing's gonna stop me now I'll find a way somehow
