(I've Given You) The Best Years Of My Life - Thelma Houston

I’ve given you, I’ve given you

I’ve given you, I’ve given you

The best years of my life

You don’t even know what I’m crying for

And you don’t even care, if I love you anymore

You’d do anything just to be free

Without even thinking of me

But I’ve given you the best years of my life

You can’t even see what I’ve done for you

The love that I gave, doesn’t mean anything to you

Oh, you expect me to make a new start

After leaving and breaking my heart

And I’ve given you the best years of my life

Even though you’ve decided to go

There is something you just have to know

I desperately, desperately love you so…

I’ve given you, I’ve given you

(I've given you, I’ve given you)

I’ve given you, I’ve given you

(I've given you, I’ve given you)

The best years of my life

You don’t even care what becomes of me

You just want me out of your way

And then you’re done with me

Oh, well: as soon as you walk out the door

There is nothing for me to live for

'Cause I’ve given you the best years of my

Given you the best years of my

Given you the best years of my life

(I've given you, I’ve given you)

Oh!

Don’t you know I gave them

(I've given you, I’ve given you)

A long time ago, yes I did

(I've given you, I’ve given you)

How could you leave me here, baby?

(I've given you, I’ve given you)

Drowning in my own tears, yeah

As soon as you walk out the door

There is nothing for me to live for

Oh, 'cause I’ve given you the best years of my

Given you the best years of my

Given you the best years

The best years of my life, baby

(I've given you, I’ve given you)

Don’t you see me down here on my knees, baby?

(I've given you, I’ve given you)

Honey, how could you leave me here

(I've given you, I’ve given you)

How could you leave me here, baby

(I've given you, I’ve given you)

Don’t you know that I love you, with all my heart and soul

Soon as you walk out the door

There’s nothing for me to live for

'Cause I’ve given you, oh, the best years of my

Given you the best years of my

Don’t you know I’ve given you the best years

(I've given you, I’ve given you)

The best years, the best years of my life

(I've given you, I’ve given you)

Baby, yeah yeah, don’t you leave me honey

(I've given you, I’ve given you)

Don’t you know that I need you

(I've given you, I’ve given you)

I need you with all my heart and soul, yes I do baby

Oh yeah, one thing I want you to know…

I’ve given you the best years of my…
