Bringing Back Otis...

I didn't realize it until now, but I've been missing something in life. ...Something that once soothed my weary soul. ...Something that helped me believe that pure love can actually exist. ...Something that gave me hope there are at least a few good men out there... But in becoming a maid, housewife, "routine" girlfriend, I inadvertently let it fade to backdrop of my days and eventually forgot about it all together. And now that I am aware of the void it's left, I just can't live without it...

So in getting my life back on the right track, I am bringing back Otis.
(Redding, that is.)

And in honor of bringing back Otis, I am leaving you all with this. After all, Otis is the only man who can take all my emotions and so tenderly put them into words such as these:

I've Been Loving You Too Long (To Stop Now)

Songwriters: Jerry Butler & Otis Redding

I've been loving you too long

To stop now

You are tired and you want to be free

My love is growing stronger

As you become a habit to me

Ooh, I've been loving you too long

I don't wanna stop now, oh

With you my life has been so wonderful

I can't stop now

You are tired and your love is growing cold

My love is growing stronger

As our affair, affair grows old

I've been loving you oh too long

Don't want to stop now, oh, oh oh

I've been loving you a little too long

I don't wanna stop now, oh, oh

Don't make me stop now, oh baby

I am down on my knees

Please, don't make me stop now

I love you, I love you

I love you with all my heart

And I can't stop now

Don't make me stop now

Please, please don't make me stop now

Good God Almighty, I love you

I love you, I love you, I love you

I love you, I love you

I love you in so many different ways...

I love you in so many different ways...
