It Tears Me Up Lyrics By Percy Sledge

    i see you walk with him
    i see you talk to him
    it tears me up
    it tears me up
    and start my eyes to 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
