Just Look What You've Done
Brenda Holloway Lyrics
With a tender love, you filled my lonely days
You made me need you, darlin', in so many ways
But you no longer come around very much
& lately there's no tenderness in your touch
Where did it go? That warm & tender feeling
Where did it go? The love that I believed in?
You filled my life with so much meaning
It's empty now, now that you're leaving
CHORUS:
I thought you needed me, but now I find that you're leavin' me
Oh you've turned my heart to stone
Without you by my side, where will I get the strength to carry on?
Now helplessly I stand, watchin' love walk away
There's nothin' I can do, nothin' I can say
For you our love was just a passin' thing
But to me, my darlin', it was everything
Where did it go? The love I always turned to
Where did it go? Where do I go without you?
When I needed you, you were always there
I'm nothing now without your love to share
(chorus)
(instrumental)
Where did it go? The love I always turned to
Where did it go? & where do I go without you?
When I needed you, you were always there
I'm nothing now without your love to share
(repeat chorus & fade)

Brenda Holloway (born June 21, 1946 in Atascadero, California) is an African-American singer and songwriter best known for her period as a recording artist for the Motown label during the 1960s. Her best known hits from her Motown days were the soul ballad Every Little Bit Hurts (which reached #13 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1964. The title of the song was similar to the 60's television public service announcement about highway littering--Every Litter Bit Hurts. Read Full BioBrenda Holloway (born June 21, 1946 in Atascadero, California) is an African-American singer and songwriter best known for her period as a recording artist for the Motown label during the 1960s. Her best known hits from her Motown days were the soul ballad Every Little Bit Hurts (which reached #13 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1964. The title of the song was similar to the 60's television public service announcement about highway littering--Every Litter Bit Hurts. After her '64 hit, she recorded, When I'm Gone,which had been recorded by Mary Wells and was intended to be Mary's followup to her '64 mega-hit , My Guy. However, after a contract dispute, Mary Wells left Motown for 20th Century Fox Records. Brenda's version of "When I'm Gone" was a R&B hit, but never crossed over in the days of segragated R&B/Rock & Roll radio.
Holloway did not fit the Motown mold well. She lived in Los Angeles, not Detroit. She also had a grittier edge than the typical polished Motown performer, and wrote songs as well as sang them, which was unprecedented for a female Motown artist. Brenda Hollowy inspired many pop artists, including The Beatles who asked her to perform as the opening act on their 1965 tour of the U.S. She was the only female to open for them.

With a tender love, you filled my lonely days
You made me need you, darlin', in so many ways
But you no longer come around very much
& lately there's no tenderness in your touch
Where did it go? That warm & tender feeling
Where did it go? The love that I believed in?
You filled my life with so much meaning
It's empty now, now that you're leaving
Just look what you've done; you've turned my dreams to dust
I thought you needed me, but now I find that you're leavin' me
Oh you've turned my heart to stone
Without you by my side, where will I get the strength to carry on?
OOOh Ya
Now helplessly I stand, watchin' love walk away
There's nothin' I can do, nothin' I can say
For you our love was just a passin' thing
But to…my darling it was everything

The prettiest woman to grace the stage for Motown records..

I love the extended version of this marvelous, underrated recording, by Miss Brenda Holloway from the spring of 1967. I go back to our high school days, when she would "wow" all of us at the talent shows. Such a talent.
alan spagnolia
Every time she sings the "oh", and does that motion with her hands / body, I get weak !!!! Above and beyond sensational song !!!
Judy Hendrix
LOL. That is a nice little gesture.
mano a mano
I heard that!

This Lady was just plain great, but so underrated in Motown. In my book she's "GOLD"

What?.Where did that come from? Was everyone sleeping with Berry Gordy to promote their careers? Or do you know ANYTHING about Motown Records? Now, did you like or dislike the song?
robinfun21
She was smart enough to not sleep with Berry Gordy
