Lyrics:

1977
Writer(s): Jim Rushing

It's coming all apart, babe, with every tearing word
I've lost my taste for what I take from you
When a painful night of silence is the sweetest sound I've heard
If I play your game, I'm cheating on the truth

[Chorus]
It takes too many tears to make love strong
Too much of me for me and you to get along
I'd need another lifetime, but I'll never last that long
It takes too many tears to make love strong

It takes a lot of living, a lot of going through
To finally see and end to going down
There's no getting up my courage for making up with you
'Cause making up just finds another round

[Chorus]
It takes too many tears to make love strong
Too much of me for me and you to get along
I'd need another lifetime, but I'll never last that long
It takes too many tears to make love strong

[Chorus]
It takes too many tears to make love strong
Too much of me for me and you to get along
I'd need another lifetime, but I'll never last that long
It takes too many tears to make love strong
