Why (Must We Fall in Love) The Supremes & The Temptations

[Verse 1: Eddie Kendricks, Diana Ross, The Temptations]
For so long we shared each other's lives
Gave up everything to keep love satisfied
Baby, the air that I breathe
You will take when you leave
All because of something small
Like the day I missed your call
I tried to get in touch with you
When I finally did, you said we're through
(Didn't mean to hurt you, how I'm gonna miss you)

[Chorus: The Supremes & The Temptations]
Why (Why) must we fall in love to find out how to cry?
(Why) Build up trust, then tear it down, oh, tell me why
(Why) When it takes so long to make it (So long to make it)
And no time at all to break it off

[Verse 2: Diana Ross, Eddie Kendricks, The Temptations]
Then you walked away, I just stood there numb
I had nothing to say
Into the night you walked away with my life
And feeling almost half my size
I looked up into heaven's eyes
Smile was gone and used to see
She knew that you were standing there all with me
(Didn't mean to hurt you, how I'm gonna miss you)
