After The Pain Betty Wright Lyrics
Well, I couldn’t resist the urge
To tell you the end of my story
For all those who wanted to know
Was there life after the pain?
After the pain, you come and love me
And I welcome you, you’re a glad sight to see
And after the rain and all that I have been through
I still can’t explain how I can still love you like I do?
But I do, yes, I do
Still love you like I do
(After the pain)
Though you still do me like you do
(After the pain)
After the pain, we sit and we talk awhile
And I fight with all my might
To hold back the tears from falling with a pleasant smile
And after the rain, I can’t believe you
Got the nerve to still call me, baby
And I try to tell you, “No, it ain’t so”
But I guess “No” just ain’t in me
‘Cause boy, I still love you like I do
(After the pain)
Though you still do me like you do
(After the pain)
Yeah, I know you’re laughin’
Those of you who heard ‘Pain’
Yeah, you’re right, I sure did
I said I’d never take him back again
Well, it’s a woman’s prerogative to change her mind isn’t it?
But we do it all the time
Don’t laugh, you probably done the same thing too
It’s just that you know me and I don’t know you
You know one thing, time has taught me that
Havin’ a piece of man is better than havin’ no man at all
So I’ma just take what I got and work with it
You understand what I mean
And don’t you remember thinkin’ back just a few years
When people used to try to help you stay together
They find out you’re on the verge of breakin’ up
They used to cook up a little food and throw a little party
And whisper things in your ear like
Don’t blame Mr. Charlie, Mr. Charlie is just a man
And he’s doing the best he can
I heard ’em say, “Don’t blame Mr. Charlie, Mr. Charlie is just a man
And he’s doing the best he can”
That’s why I still love you like I do
(After the pain)
Though you still do me like you do
(After the pain, the pain)
I know that you know it’s true
After all I’ve been through
I should be through with love
But there’s a God up above
That keeps sayin’, “Betty try
Don’t give up, you know why
The sun is gonna shine
‘Cause you are mine, all mine”
You just keep doin’ your best
And I will do the rest
‘Cause I love you, love you, Betty, like I do
That’s why I still love you like I do
(After the pain, the pain)
Though you still do me like you do
(After the pain, the pain)
My love is deeper than any ocean
And my love is higher than any mountain
It’s, oh, it’s full of emotion
My love is full of devotion
My love is in and out of season
And I love you with or without a reason
You see God is gonna bless me for lovin’ you
For all the times that you treated me wrong and I kept bein’ true
You see, God’s eyes they’re not closed
He’s not asleep
Said He’s watchin’ everything move you make
Every secret you keep
Boy, you better be careful
Hoo hoo hoo hoo
Said if you treat me bad or make my sad
My Father in heaven is watching you
But I still love you like I do
(After the pain)
And nobody’s ever gonna love you like I do
(After the pain)
No one’s ever gonna love you like I do
No one’s ever gonna love you like I do
No one’s ever gonna love you like I do
I don’t know why I do, but I do, yes, I do
(After the pain)
Oh, there’s a woman in me that keeps on lovin’ you
(After the pain, the pain)
I don’t know why, oh, I don’t know why
(I don’t know why, baby)
(After the pain, the pain)
I don’t know why
(I don’t know why, baby)
But I do
(I do)
Said I do
(I do, I do, I do)
Said I
(After the pain, the pain)
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
(Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)
(After the pain, the pain)
Do, I don’t know why, baby
(After the pain, the pain)
But I love you so, yes, I do
(After the pain, the pain)

Baby, no strain

(The pain)
After the pain
