Otis Redding/J Butler
Roy s version bears little similarity to the original

Otis Version (original)

There were time and you want to be free
My love is growing stronger,
as you become a haven to me
Oh I ve been loving you a little too long
I dont wanna stop now, oh with you my life,
Has been so wonderful I can t stop now
There were times and your love is growing cold
My love is growing stronger
as our affair [affair] grows old
I ve been loving you a little too long, long,
I don t want to stop now oh, oh, oh
I ve been loving you a little bit too long
I don t wanna stop now no, no, no

Don t make me stop now, no baby
I m down on my knees Please,
don t make me stop now
I love you, I love you,
I love you with all of my heart
And I can t stop now don t make me stop now
Please, please don t make me stop now
[Good god of mine]I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you
I love you in so many different ways...
I love you in so many different ways....

Roy Version

I ve been loving you a little too long
To stop right now
You re tired, and you wanna be free
My love is growing stronger
As you become a habit to me
Ooh, and loving you a little too long
I don t wanna stop right now
Oh with you my life has been so wonderful
I just can t stop now

You re tired and your love is growing cold
My love is growing stronger
As our affair grows old
And I ve been loving you a little too long
I don t wanna stop now

Ooh, too long, long
Don t wanna stop my loving you right now
No, oh I ve been loving you a little too long
To stop right now
Ooh, loving you a little too long
To stop right now

No, no, I can t stop now. no
Loving you a little too long
To stop right now, I can t stop...
