I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know (1973), Lyrics

(Al Kooper)


If I ever leave you, baby
You can say I told you so!
And if I ever hurt you
Y ou know I hurt myself as well.

Is that any way for a man to carry on
Do you think I want my loved one gone
Said I love you
More than you'll ever know
More than you'll ever know

When I wasn't making much money
You know where my paycheck went
You know I brought it home to you, baby
And I never spent a red cent

Is that any way for a man to carry on
Do you think I want my loved one gone
Said I love you
More than you'll ever know
More than you'll ever know

I'm not trying to be
just any kind of man
I'm just trying to be somebody
You can love, trust and understand
I know that I can be
A part of you that no one else could see
yeaaahhhh

I just wanna hear,a hear ya say
its allright
yeahhh yeahhh

I'm only flesh and blood
But I can be everything that you demand
I can be king of everythang
Or just a tiny grain of sand

Is that anyway for a man to carry on
Do you think I want my loved one gone
I love you,
More than you'll ever know

I said I love you
I love you
I love you
Hey, hey
I don't want nobody else
I don't need nobody else
