Philip Bailey - Because Of You Lyrics

Philip Bailey Lyrics

"Because Of You"

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh...
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh...

Your eyes I see knowing I love you so
Time has revealed what I couldn't let you know
Before, I was afraid that you might see through me
I tried running away to shield the fire
But your love captured me

Color me true
Because of you
Because of you
Color me new

Morning sunrise never looked quite the same
Nor a moonlight shining upon your face
In time, our love will reach the brightest star and find
There'll be no needs to fulfill
And there'll be no more pain inside
When captured in the light

Color me true
Because of you
Because of you
Color me new
Love you enough
Gotta give it up
Gotta let go of this lovin' feelin'

Color me true
Because of you
Because of you
Color me new
Love you enough
Gotta give it up
Gotta let go of this lovin' feelin'

Of a lovin' feelin' (Of a lovin' feelin')
Of a lovin' feelin' (Got a lovin' feelin')
Got a lovin' feelin' (Got a lovin' feelin')
Got a lovin' feelin', oh...

Don't you know, don't you know
I'm no great pretender like before
'Cause your love has set me free, free
Now there'll be no turning back, baby
For lovers anymore

Color me true
(Color me)
Because of you
(Color me true, because of you)
Because of you
Color me new
Love you enough
Gotta give it up
(Oh...)
Gotta let go of this lovin' feelin'

Color me true
(Color me)
Because of you
(Color me true, because of you)
Because of you
Color me new
Love you enough
(Ooh...)
Gotta let go of this lovin' feelin'
