Don’t waste your time looking over your shoulder
Those loves from the past ain’t getting no closer
When I look in my future you’re all I can see
Don’t go loving on nobody but me.
[Chorus:]
Nobody but me gonna love you like you ought to be loved on
Nobody but me gonna cry if you up and leave
You can do what you want to,
But I’m asking pretty please (Honey) Don’t go loving on nobody but me.
I took my time to tell you how I feel
Just because I took so long don’t mean that it isn’t real
I ain’t got no diamond, but I’m down on my knees
Don’t go loving on nobody but me.
[Chorus:]
Nobody but me gonna love you like you ought to be loved on
Nobody but me gonna cry if you up and leave
You can do what you want to,
But I’m asking pretty please (Honey) Don’t go loving on nobody but me.
[Chorus:]
Nobody but me gonna love you like you ought to be loved on
Nobody but me gonna cry if you up and leave
You can do what you want to,
But I’m asking pretty please (Honey) Don’t go loving on nobody but me.
Don’t go loving on nobody but me…
