how d i know that love would slip away

Deniece Williams

Baby, just don t lie there
Baby, please don t stay
I can t help if I feel this way
Baby, I ve been cryin
Baby, I ve been tryin
Of failing love, I tried to say, yeah

How d I know that love would slip away, slip away
How d I know that love would slip away, slip away

You always made some promises
You knew you never keep
But when you said you d phone and didn t
You knew that I d lose sleep
Tried to understand you
I did the best I could
But, boy, I can t keep lovin you
That way I said I could

How d I know that love would slip away, slip away
(How d I know that love would slip away)
Tell me, how was I to know
It would slip away, yeah

How was I to know
That love would slip away
Tell me, how d I know
That love would slip away, yeah

How d I know that love would slip away
(How d I know love would slip away)
How d I know that love would slip away
(Love slipped away)

How d I know that love would slip away
(How was I to know)
(It would go away, boy, I didn t know)
How d I know that love would slip away
(I thought love would stay, I did)
(I thought it would stay)

How d I love that love would slip away
Broken promise, I didn t know
I thought our love was here to stay
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, you lied to me
