But I Do
Love Lost and Longing: The Oak Ridge Boys' 'But I Do' Reflection
Lyrics
I've been so alone without you
I've been feeling very lonely in your absence.
I try not to think about you but I do, I do
Despite my efforts not to dwell on thoughts of you, I find myself doing so.
I know that I'm to blame
I acknowledge that I am responsible for the current situation.
I've got no right to call your name
I have no right to call out your name.
But I do, I do
Despite lacking the right, I still call out your name.
I sure do feel the pain
I am experiencing significant emotional pain.
And I'd give anything you know I would
I am willing to do anything to make amends.
Cause you were so good and you always could
You were exceptional, and I recognize and appreciate that.
Give me love you sure did make it easy to
Your love made it easy for me to feel loved for a period.
Be loved for a while
Reflecting on a time when I felt loved.
We sure did have it going for a while
We had a positive and loving connection for a while.
I've been so alone without your touch
The absence of your physical contact has left me feeling isolated.
Never thought I'd hurt so much
I never anticipated experiencing such emotional pain.
But I do, I do
Despite the pain, I acknowledge and feel it.
I never thought I'd be the kind
I didn't expect to become dependent on someone all the time.
To need someone all the time but I do, I do
Contrary to my expectations, I find myself needing someone consistently.
Didn't we have it going?
Reflecting on the positive aspects of our past relationship.
We sure did have it going for a while
We had a good thing going on in our relationship for a significant period.
