Why When Love Is Gone - The Isley Brothers

Your love made a slave of me

But the love you gave, you took away from me

Foolishly, I believed in you

What a fool I was, thinking love was true

Selfishly, you broke my heart (My heart)

You were only fooling from the start (You were only fooling)

Still I have just one regret (Regret)

Although you’re gone, I can’t forget

Why, when the love is gone

Why does my heart keep holding on?

Oh why, when the love is gone

Tell me, why does my heart keep holding on?

Your love was sweet when it started

But now I find it leaves me brokenhearted

Why do you swear to always care

Then you walk away and leave me in despair

Heartlessly, you told me lies (Me lies)

Planning all the time to say goodbye (Planning all the time)

Still I have just one regret (Regret)

Although love is gone, I can’t forget

Why, when the love is gone

Why does my heart keep holding on?

Oh why, when the love is gone

Tell me, why does my heart keep holding on?

Oooh ooh

Selfishly, you told me lies (Me lies)

Planning all the time to say goodbye (Planning all the time)

Still I have the one regret (Regret)

Although love is gone, I can’t forget

Why, when the love is gone

Tell me, why does my heart keep holding on?

Ooh why, when the love is gone

Ooh, why does my heart keep holding on?

Oh why, oooh why, oh why, oooh why

Tell me why, oooh why, oh why, oooh why

Tell me why
