You Gave Nothing

I know its time now
To make a change in my life
There has been this empty feeling
My heart is full of strife

Oh it makes me sad
When I remember
That you weren't there no
When I needed you

Now I feel
Your love was never real
'Cause you gave nothing

Now I know
Though I loved you so
You gave nothing

There's never a hug when I need it
Where was the wanted kiss
Where was the listening ear
What kind of love is this?

Where was the reaching hand
To hold my needy hand
Where was the protective man
Who would understand?

Now I feel
Your love was never real
'Cause you gave nothing

Now I know
Though I loved you so
You gave nothing

There was never any comfort
When darkness called
Where were you been
I couldn't find you at all?

Where was the belief
In my talents and abilities
Were you so self-absorbed
That you couldn't please?

I know now that I'm tired
(Lord have mercy)
And I know that I'm through
'Cause I can't get
I can't get, no
What I need from you

What I need
What I need
What I need is love
What I need is love
And it's not me you're thinking of

Now I got to move on
(I can tell it's time)
I got to move on
I'm moving on
I'm movin' on
(Lord have mercy)
I'm gone
