I Saw You When You Met Her by David Ruffin Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I miss her
The endless night
I was wrong
And now she's gone
I've got to make her see
That the girl she saw me with
Meant nothing to me
I didn't go to stay, no, no
I only went to play
The night is cold and I'm alone
I'm soakin' wet, but I've got to go on
I didn't go to stay, no
I only went to play
Oh, oh, I wish I were dead
I can't forget the letter she left on my bed

[Chorus]
It said
"(I saw you)
When you met her
I won't ask you
To forget her
I saw you, saw you, saw you
When you met her
P.S
Pardon my tear-stained letter"
[Verse 2]
So let the four winds blow
Oh, let the blinding light and row [?]
I know she's there
I'm coming, my love
I'm running, my love
Her face I can clearly see
Always in my mind, playing tricks on me
Take my hand (Take my hand, take my hand)
Oh, take my hand
I know you're there (I know you're there, I know you're there)
I can feel your presence in the air

[Chorus]
I can't forget the words
"(Saw you)" No, no
"(When you met her)
I won't ask you to forget her
(I saw you) I saw you
(When you met her) When you met her
P.S
Pardon my tear-stained letter"

[Verse 3]
Step by step
I search aimlessly through the snow
I've got to find her and bring her home
It's like a nightmare, I wanna scream
"Somebody wake me and tell me it's just a bad dream"
[Chorus]
The letter said
"I saw you, saw you, saw you
When you met her, hoo
I won't ask you to forget her
I saw you, yes, I did
(When you met her) When you met her
Ooh, pardon my tear-stained letter"

I saw you, saw you, saw you
When you met her
I won't ask you to forget her
(I saw you) I saw you, saw you, saw you
(When you met her) met her
P.S, pardon my tear-stained letter"

I saw you
