This Betty Wright song is wild! I’m just realizing what the lyrics saying:
Don't blame Mr. Charlie, Mr. Charlie is just a man
And he's doing the best he can
I heard 'em say, “Don't blame Mr. Charlie, Mr. Charlie is just a man
And he's doing the best he can”
That's why I still love you like I do
(After the pain)
Though you still do me like you do
(After the pain, the pain)
I know that you know it's true
After all I've been through
I should be through with love
But there's a God up above
That keeps sayin', “Betty try
Don't give up, you know why
The sun is gonna shine
'Cause you are mine, all mine”
You just keep doin' your best
And I will do the rest
'Cause I love you, love you, Betty, like I do
That's why I still love you like I do
(After the pain, the pain)
Though you still do me like you do
(After the pain, the pain)
My love is deeper than any ocean
And my love is higher than any mountain
It's, oh, it's full of emotion
My love is full of devotion
My love is in and out of season
And I love you with or without a reason
You see God is gonna bless me for lovin' you
For all the times that you treated me wrong and I kept bein' true
You see, God's eyes they're not closed
He's not asleep
Said He's watchin' everything move you make
Every secret you keep
Boy, you better be careful
Hoo hoo hoo hoo
Said if you treat me bad or make my sad
My Father in heaven is watching you
But I still love you like I do
(After the pain)
And nobody's ever gonna love you like I do
(After the pain)
Loser mentality. A lot of older female soul singers have songs like this. Good tune, though it can be hard to listen to at times when the lyrics set in. I didn't really care for r&b related stuff in general until recently b/c of this prominent subject matter surrounding the genre. Just gotta take other ppl's perspectives for what they are or alienate yourself from the art, I guess.
