Irma Thomas
In Between Tears
[verse1]
I loved you for what you were wrong or right
To win your heart and soul, I was prepared to fight (day and night)
Maybe my love for you was just a little too weak
To unlock the pain in your heart that you keep
[Chorus]
But how can you throw away
The happy times we spent for years
Just because of things a woman might say
Just because of things a woman might say
In between tears
[verse2]
Why do you render me powerless to reveal
All the love that’d had for you and that I feel
I always loved that you were so extry-ordinary
Gave you a love the poet would call out of the ordinary
[Chorus]
So how can you throw away
The happy times we spent for years
Just because of things a woman might say
Just because of things a woman might say
In between tears
[bridge]
I gave you all the love I possess
Made my mind devotion and of tenderness
And just because of a little loving spite
You walked out on me
Now you know that it wasn’t right
If you would only come back and have a little conversation
I know this time we’d have a lasting relation
Yes its hard-ya-babe when you g’won-an-ya breaking up
Ooo ooo ooo the pain is so good when you start to making up
[Chorus]
So how could you throw away
The happy times we spent for years
Just because of things a woman might say
The things that woman might say
In between tears
In between tears
Oh yes they
They say ‘em In between the tears
