Sacrifice Lyrics by O.V. Wright

We’re Still Together

0

[Intro]
You know, I guess you're wondering why
A man would like to sing a sad, slow, and lonely song
But you'd be surprised
What a man will do
When the one he loves is gone
People, I've only ever been in love two times in my life
And as strange as it seems, it was the same girl twice
Oh, this girl made me weep, and she made me moan
She broke my little heart, and left me all alone
You see, my hearts been broken more times than the Ten Commandments
And I've been made to cry more times than a weeping willow
You understand what I'm saying?
So if you see a man out there tonight
Walking with tears in his eyes
And pain in his heart
It'll be me
If I had one last song to sing
I believe it'd go something like this

[Verse 1]
Tonight I walk, baby
These streets alone
I can feel the pain
Coming on strong
I got no one (No one)
To say sweet things to me
I'm lonely, lonely as a man can be
Try to make me pay (Pay)
By living my life (Pay)
(Living my life)
I sacrificed (Sacrificed)
See, love ain't nothing but sacrifice
Sometimes I wonder
How many years, baby
Oh, Lord, is there in front of me
Before I find someone who really loves me
Who's gonna set my heart free

[Bridge]
But only the good Lord (Lord)
For the Lord knows
Lord, what have I done?
To cause all this pain and war
She's trying to make me pay (Pay)
That awful price
Of sacrifice
Love ain't nothing but sacrifice

[Verse 2]
I went to my dear old mother and said
Mother, dear, mother, dear, mother, dear
Your baby boy got pain in his heart
The girl I love tonight
Oh, we're so far apart, hah
She looked at me with tears in her eyes
And replied by saying these words to me
Boy, each night, you pray
Oh, she'll come and break these chains one day
You've got no one to call your own
In other words my baby boy is all alone
She's trying to make him pay
But he can't take it
She's trying to make him pay
But she can't make him
Oh I can't pay, no, no, no (Pay the price)
I can't pay (The sacrifice)
I'd give it all
