Percy Sledge › Lyrics › It Tears Me Up [Live]

I see you walk with him
I see you talk to him
It tears me up, it tears me up
And start my eyes from cryin'
Oh, oh, I can't stop cryin'

I see him kiss your lips
And squeeze your fingertips
It tears me up, it tears me up
I feel like I'm dyin'
Oh, oh, I must be dyin'

It's a cold, cold world, I'm livin' in
I turn my back and there you are with my best friend
Oh, sometimes we pass on the street darlin'
And you looked at me and you can say, "I'm sorry, my sweet"

Maybe just saying, I'm sorry would be enough
But then you'd look back at him, with your perfect smile
And that'd make me feel kind of rough
Oh, darlin', it tears me up

I see you smile at him
You'll never tire of him
It tears me up, it tears me up
But there ain't nothin' I can do now

Baby can't you see, I'm still in love with you
Oh, can't you see, I'm still in love with you, baby
Still waitin' for something that I cannot have
Oh, baby, nothin' tears me up so bad

Can't you see, that I'm still in love with you baby
Oh, that tears me up so bad now baby
