Just To Keep You Satisfied Lyrics

You were my wife, my life, my hopes and dreams
For you to understand what this means, I shall explain
I stood all the jealousy, all the bitchin' too
Yes, I'd forget it all once in bed with you
Ooo darling how could we end up like this?
Oh baby let me reminisce

Oh and when we, woo, stopped the hands of time
You set my soul on fire, my one desire
Was to love you and think of you with pride
And keep you satisfied, oh baby oh baby
We could not bear the mental strain
Leave you, I laugh at men too
Now you see how much you hurt me
But if you ever need me, I'll be by your side
Though the many happy times we had
Can never really outweigh the bad
Oh I'll never love nobody like I loved you baby

It's time for us to say farewell, farewell my darlin'
Maybe we'll meet down the line
It's too late for you and me, it's too late for you and I
Much too late for you to cry
It's too late for you and me, much too late for you and I
It's too late for you and me, much too late for you to cry baby
Ah we tried, God knows we tried
Now it's too late to live and love and ah it's too late baby
It's too late for you and me, much too late for you to cry
Oh oh ohhh it's much too late
Well, all we can do is, we can both try to be happy

This is a powerful song. You can feel very single word he is saying. He is telling the love of his life "goodbye" because he can no longer take her bulls--t! This song just speas to you in such way that it is hard to not understand it. He regrets the things that they have been through, but he can't take it anymore. he expresses his love sincerely to her, and you can tell by his voice that he will really miss her... and try to get over her.

I just heard this song for the first name early this morning like around 4am and my it just made me so still; I just listened. I agree with Lyrica. He is saying goodbye to this girl, but it doesn't sound like a done-deal-type-of-goodbye. For some reason, he and this girl will always be in love and at odds. That's how i see it. I LOVE THIS SONG, man!

Even when he thinks of her it consumes him because what he knows of their relationship is beautiful which none can compare despite the flaws in their clash of personalities but still ....still in the midst of saying farewell it really won't be farewell because down the line they will grow even through saying its too late. Because you still hear the hope of what's to be with time. .......

@Buddah1981. Great comment, powerful song.

This is a song that I never will forget. This is a song that will always touch me to my heart the reason why this was the last song I believe my father heard as he was passing away while under hospice. We were all by side my wife my brother my mom his sisters and my closest friends. This summed up their relationship my mom and my dad. They loved one another they did not know how to show the love for one another I think sometimes it hurt because they tried to do different things to show each other this their love but sometimes it was a failed attempt. They were married for all of 40 years. I felt that this was the universe saying to my mom from my dad that I love you I tried we tried I will be gone but I will always be by your side don't cry because I will always be here my love is close and dear. A very powerful song about true love and the commitment to keep it moving. I will never forget this.
