Phil (solo)
You ought'a stay babe. Stay Babe

Phil (solo)
For awhile to love was all we could do
we were young and we knew
and our eyes were alive
Deep inside we knew our love was true
For awhile we paid no mind to the past
we knew love would last
Ev'ry night somethin' right
would invite us to begin the dance

Phil (w/bg)
Somethin's happened along the way
Phil (solo)
what used to be happy was so sad
Phil (w/bg)
Somethin' happened along the way
Phil (solo)
oh yesterday was all we had
And oh

Phil (w/bg)
after the love has gone
how could you lead me on
Phil (solo)
could you do it babe
Phil (w/bg)
and not let me stay around
Oh woh woh after the love has gone
what used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found

Phil (solo)
For awhile to love each other was all
we would ever need
Love was strong for so long
I never knew that what was
wrong oh baby
Vesta (solo)
wasn't right
We tried to find what we had
till sadness was all we shared

Phil (w/bg)
We were scared this affair will leave our love in two

Phil (w/bg)
Somethin' happened along the way
Vesta (solo)
and yesterday was all we had
Phil (w/bg)
Somethin' happened along the way
Vesta (solo)
what used to be happy was sad
Phil (w/bg)
Somethin' happened along the way

Phil (solo)
oh and yesterday was all we had
And oh

Phil (w/bg)
after the love has gone

Phil (solo)
naw babe
Phil (w/bg)
how could you lead me on
and not let me stay around

Phil (solo)
I don't know

Phil (w/bg)
Oh woh woh after the love has gone
what used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found

Oh woh woh woh woh woh after the love has gone
what used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found
Oh woh woh after the love has gone
what used to be right is wrong

Phil (solo)
Love can't end this way

Phil (w/bg)
Can love that's lost be found
Oh woh woh

Guitar Solo (Russ Freeman)

Phil (w/bg)
After the love has gone
what used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found

oh woh woh after the love has gone
what used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found
oh woh woh
