Valley of Lonely - Betty Wright

Why

Won’t you give your love to me?

To me

When you know

That my love could set you free

From the valley of lonely

It took my love to find you

I was standing right behind you

All you had to do was look back

Maybe you’ve grown tired

And lost all desire

Cuz of the funny way some women act

But this could very well be your day

That God sends a little sunshine your way

Said I could show you how

Better still I could show you now if you just let me

Oh why

Won’t you give your love to me, only me

When you know, you know, you know, and I know

That my love could set you free

From the valley of lonely

All women are not the same

You barely know my name

And already, you’ve judged me by your past

But I’m made from different stock

Not just some new kid on the block

I can help your heart heal real fast

So I’m sending down my lifeline

Baby all you’ve got to do is climb

Lift your head to the sky

Don’t let love just pass you by

Oh why

Oh, won’t you give your love to me?

to me

When you know and I know and I know that you know

My love could set you free

From the valley of lonely

I realize some people like being depressed and lonely

But, when I see you I just don’t see that kind of person

You know, you look like the kinda guy that likes the finer things in life

That’s why I want you to have me

And well if I’m wrong, and you’re satisfied with the shape you’re in

Hey, that’s alright I have no problem with that

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose

Personally, I’d rather win

I want you to think about it real good baby, think about it real good

And I don’t owe you no tomorrow you know how women are, I might change my mind

You think too long you might think wrong

Said this could very well be your day

That God sends a little sunshine your way

Said I could show you how

Better still I could show you now if you just let me

Ooh, I’m sending down my lifeline

Baby all you’ve got to do is climb

Lift your head to the sky

Don’t let love just pass you by

Oh why

Won’t you give your love to me?

Baby, to me

When you know, you know

That my love could set you free

From the valley of lonely

Why, why baby

Won’t you give your love to me?

Don’t you hear my beggin' baby?

When you know, I know and you know

My love could set you free

From the valley of lonely

Why, oh why

Won’t you give your love to me?

Only me, only me

When you know and I know and I know that you know

My love could set you free

From the valley of lonely

Why baby?

You know you want to give you love to me

When you know, when you know, when you know

That my love could just set you free

From that valley of lonely

From that valley of lonely
