I've Passed This Way Before - Jimmy Ruffin

作词：James Dean/William Weatherspoon

作曲：James Dean/William Weatherspoon

Life lends a crushing blow

And once again a heart is broken

And as history repeats itself

These few words are sadly spoken

I passed this way before

And I felt this pain before

A hurt that took so long to end

Has found my poor heart again

As I watch love walking away

It brings back old memories

A familiar pain still feels the same

Once again heartache has found me

A dark cloud covered my heart

Oh when she told me goodbye

Now there nothing left but emptiness

And the tears that fill my crying eyes

I passed this way before

And I felt this pain before

A hurt that took so long to end

Has found my poor heart again

No matter how strong a man is

Without love he walks in the dark

If love deserts him it will surely hurt him

Cos his weakness is his heart

A lonely journey now stands before me

The endless pain has started

But this time I know the way

Walking alone and broken hearted

It so hard to face reality

Knowing loneliness is my destiny

Because I passed this way before

And I felt this pain before

A hurt that took so long to end

Has found my poor heart again

I passed this way before

And I felt this pain before

Believe me girl
