It’s nice to get back to Song Lyric Sunday after the recent hiatus, which was largely caused by my inability – or unwillingness – to relate to some of the genres being offered up.
However, soul I can do – and very few did it better than Otis Redding, particularly in this heart-rending performance.
I’ve been loving you too long to stop now
You are tired and you want to be free
My love is growing stronger, as you become a habit to me
Ohh, I’ve been loving you too long
I don’t wanna stop now
With you my life has been so wonderful
I can’t stop now
You are tired and your love is growing cold
My love is growing stronger as our affair, affair grows old
I’ve been loving you oh, too long
I don’t want to stop now, ohh, ohh, ohh
I’ve been loving you a little too long
I don’t wanna stop now, ohh, ohh, ohh
And don’t make me stop now
Oh 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 my heart
And I can’t stop now
Please, please, please don’t make me stop now
Talkin’ ’bout heart and soul
That I love you
I love you
Written by Otis Redding and Jerry Butler

Otis Redding is regarded as one of the greatest singers in the history of American popular music, thanks for sharing this today.
Beautiful choice.🐣🐇💜
Yes, he had some great songs, and I always liked hearing his voice. 🙂
