Big Brother and the Holding Company - Farewell Song

Whoa-whoa, the last time that I saw ya
You know, you didn't say a word
And I, I knew, darlin' as I looked into your eyes
That my feelings, oh, they'd never been heard

Well, I'm talkin' to you about love
Did you hear me, I said love
Yeah, because it's got to be such a long, long, long way
From denyin', from denyin'
And I say, don't say no, no, no to me no more
And I believed in you all the time
Honey, until I found out, you know, that I was so wrong
I want to try and build a life with you
Guess I should've known it, I guess I should've known it all along

Let me hold you just once more
Honey, I ask you just once more
Because it's got to be such a long, long way from cryin'
And I been cryin' and I got tears in my eyes

Yeah, but don't you know (oh) when you love somebody that's so precious
(Precious)
Their beauty can never, never, never be had very cheaply
No, no, no, no, no, no, no

You're gonna have to pay your dues
And sometimes, honey, sometimes you're bound to lose
Hey, but that's the way
You're gonna learn, learn, learn to love deeply

Oh God, I wish I could explain to myself
'Cause I know that it's my fault, too
It's so easy to hurt you, darling
It's so hard, I guess it's hard not to do

And I know you showed me a new life
And you'll always, yeah, you'll always be my friend
Babe, but I don't think that I can keep from tryin'
And I been tryin', and I been tryin' for you, baby
Yes, I have now
Well, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
What would I do without you, child?
I'm afraid that I can't say
But I hope, honey, that when we will remember
Lord, it'll be, it'll be such a sunny day

Now, now, now, now, good-bye
I'll see you sometime
And don't be worried, everything's just fine
Babe, but I don't think
That I can keep from dying
And I've been dyin'

I say now every day I die a little bit, babe
I say now every day I lose me someone in my heart
I've been lonely, lonely, look around babe
I said now I been lonely, lonely
I been searching for ya
I gotta find him, I gotta find my man
I gotta find him, gotta want him, gotta need him
'Cause he my baby, baby
Talk about my baby
He my baby, baby
Talk about my baby
Whoa, yeah
'Cause I gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, whoa, yeah, gotta
Gotta, gotta, gotta, oh my Lord I gotta
Help me now now now now
Help me, babe, yeah, yeah, yeah
Whoaa ... Lord, Lord Lord Lord!!
Whoaa ... Lord, Lord Lord Lord!!
Whoaa ... Lord, Lord Lord Lord!!
