The Supremes - Am I Asking Too Much lyrics

rate me

(Richards/R. Dean Taylor)

Through a shadowed world

I drift in emptiness and doubt

Because I push aside the love

I just can't live without

Please won't you give my crying eye

Just one more chance to see

That look upon your face

That promised love to me

Am I asking too much

Or is this love we had

Lost beyond recall

Am I asking too much

Can we start again and rise above it all

Kiss my ears with gentle words I need to hear

(Baby I love you)

Let your arms reach out and

Tell me that you need me dear

(Baby I need you)

'Cause if you need me darling

Baby, you'll forgive

(Forgive me dear)

You'll forgive me says the breath of air

I need to live

Am I asking too much

Even though I hurt you so

Don't say we're through

Am I asking too much

Won't you let me try

And make it up to you

All the precious hours we've wasted

All the bitter tears we've tasted

I need your love inside of me

Make me the girl I used to be

In your heart is there no longer room for me to live

When all I did was take, all you did was give

All the tears I made you cry

Turned your heart to stone

Has loneliness made up your mind

To live alone

Am I asking too much

Or is this love we had

Lost beyond recall

Am I asking too much

Can we start again and rise above it all

Am I asking too much

Won't you let me try

And make it up to you

Am I asking too much

Even though I hurt you so

Don't say were through

Am I asking too much

Or is this love we had

Lost beyond recall
