<br />

Otis (& then Melvin - spoken)<br />

By and by, you knew that you make me cry. (By and by, knew you'd make me cry)<br />

And my love for you will never die. (My love will never, never die)<br />

But I had to find out on my own.<br />

(Check yourself, check yourself)<br />

Paul:<br />

Aww, that's what they told me. (Check yourself, check yourself)<br />

I paid no mind. (Check yourself, check yourself)<br />

I kept on breaking hearts, (Check yourself, check yourself)<br />

All down the line. (Check yourself, check yourself)<br />

Sometimes you just got to lose.<br />

That's when you pay your dues.<br />

I guess I was a fool, I guess I was a fool,<br />

To think that... you'd stayed so true.<br />

Aww, I really played in the game. (Check yourself, check yourself)<br />

I'd always win. (Check yourself, check yourself)<br />

Now the tables turn. (Check yourself, check yourself)<br />

And I'm on the losing end. (Check yourself, check yourself)<br />

Oh don't, feel sorry.<br />

I had it coming, it's true.<br />

'Cause I'm losing, yes, I'm losing, I'm losing you.<br />

Before I go, I'd like for you to know.<br />

You've had my heart from the very start.<br />

But there's one more thing, before we part.<br />

And that's I'm sorry, sorry, sorry to my heart.<br />

Aww, I'm on my sad way. (Check yourself, check yourself)<br />

Because I know I'd lost your love. (Check yourself, check yourself)<br />

I'll kick it, like a pass. (Check yourself, check yourself)<br />

But I'll be thinking of....<br />

The good times. (The good times)<br />

The bad times. (The bad times)<br />

But good or bad, happy or sad,<br />

Of memories. (Memories)<br />

Sweet, sweet memories. (Memories)<br />

Aww, memories... are all I have.<br />

Aww, that's what they told me. (Check yourself, check yourself)<br />

That's what they told me. (Check yourself, check yourself)<br />

That's what they... what they told me. (Check yourself, check yourself)<br />

Hmmm...
