Jimmy Ruffin - More Than A Heart Can Stand Lyrics

Jimmy Ruffin Lyrics

"More Than A Heart Can Stand"
(originally by Marvin Gaye)

Mmhmm hmm hmm hmm
Ha, ha (Ooh, ooh, ooh)

A lonely man was I 'til you walked into my life
Oh baby, and gave your love to me
My days were dark as night, but the sunshine of your smile
Ooh honey, it brought new life to me
But now you say that you're leaving me
Say you're taking my sunshine away
Oh, baby
And I can see the dark clouds closing in on me

And it's more than a heart can stand
Said it's more than my heart can stand, yes it is

If I thought that crying would change your mind
Then I'd cry, cry, cry a million tears, oh baby
'Cause there's no denying that a love like your love
Comes along once in a million years, baby
I know sometimes things like this must be
But, honey, honey, honey, please don't force this hurt on me
I love you so, ooh, can't you see

That it's more, more than my heart can stand
Said it's more than the heart can stand, yes it is

Ha (My heart can't stand it)
Baby, baby (No, no, no)
(My heart can't stand it)
I just, I just, I just, just can't stand it (No, no, no)
(My heart can't stand it)
Can't you see, can't you see I can't stand it? (No, no, no)
(My heart can't stand it)
No, no, no, baby, baby (No, no, no)

Please don't go, let's talk it over, baby, baby
Can't we make amends? Oh, baby
Please don't lock me up in this loneliness again

It's truly more than my heart can stand
And it's more than a heart can stand, yes, it is

Woo (My heart can't stand it)
Baby, I just can't stand it (No, no, no)
(My heart can't stand it)
Can't you see, can't you see I can't stand it? (No, no, no)

I said, mm (More than a heart can stand)
Don't leave me, baby (Yes it is, yes it is)
I said, please (More than a heart can stand)
Don't leave me, baby (Yes it is)

'Cause it's more (More than a heart can stand)
More than my heart can stand (Yes it is, yes it is)
And it's more than my heart can stand, yes it is

Aye, more (More than a heart can stand)
More than my heart can stand (Yes it is, yes it is)
Said it's more than my heart can stand, yes it is

Oh baby, my heart can't, my heart can't (More than a heart can stand)
My heart can't, my heart can't stand it, baby (Yes it is, yes it is)
My heart, my heart (More than a heart can stand)
My heart, my heart, my heart can't stand it, can't stand it, baby (Yes it is)

(More than a heart can stand)
Can't stand it, baby, ooh (Yes it is, yes it is)
Feelin' the pain (More than a heart can stand)
Might wish it would rain, baby (More than a heart can stand)
(Yes it is)

'Cause I can't stand it (More than a heart can stand)
Got to stay inside (Yes it is, yes it is)
Ooh, I can't stand it (More than a heart can stand)
