How Can You Call It Love When The Feelings Gone by Brenda Holloway Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ooh, I reach for you, you turn away
I ask what's wrong, and nothing you say
And I can see your heart's empty
Although you say, "My love is still strong"
A woman knows when something is wrong

[Chorus]
How can you call it love when the feeling's gone?
Oh, how can you call it love when the feeling's gone? Oh

[Verse 2]
You say a change is very near
You fake a smile, you call me dear
I believe and you deceive
Drifting words you say to me
But they're only words with no honesty
Why say you mean it
When you don't feel it, oh

[Chorus]
How can you call it love when the feeling's gone?
Ooh baby, how can you call it love when the feeling's gone? Oh
[Verse 3]
Your words say love, your heart says no
I love you, don't fool me no more
Sincerity you promised me
And foolishly, I've always been a near
And now you're asking me to try it again

[Chorus]
Oh yeah, oh, the feeling's gone
Ooh, don't fool me no more

[Verse 4]
You're far away now, as you hold me
Love's over now, my heart told me
It's hard to hide what's in your eyes
A look that tells me, "Head for the door"
'Cause I can't see your loving no more

[Chorus]
Oh baby, oh, the feeling's gone
Tell me what can you call it baby, when the feeling's gone?

Oh, how can you call it love when the feeling's gone?
Oh
