Love Love Love
Jimmy Ruffin Lyrics


It's not that I don't love you,you know how much I do. And it's not that I've found someone to take the place of you.It's just a fear that builds within me everytime you touch my hand.And a dread that shakes my body,that even I don't understand,so I'm leaving.This time I'm playing it smart.I'm gonna walk away from love before love breaks my heart.


Oh you're clenging to me tighter than you ever have before.I don't understand it.But I know it's gonna take everything I've got to keep walking out the door.But those arms you've got around me will let me go someday.And I'd rather leave you holding on,than pushing me away,so I'm leaving yes I am.This time I'm playing it smart.I'm gonna walk away from love before love breaks my heart.

I sang this song and goggle couldn't place it I thought of the temptations then finally Jimmy ruffin and bingo I found this priceless gem of a song! It brought back memories of the Motown reviews and great times of the 60s this black Detroit chick will always love and never forget! As an old kris kristofferson song said I would give all my tomorrows for a single yesterday. What a great time it was to be alive with my wonderful father, uncle otis and family ! DETROIT wad really great then with Hudson's and other great downtown stores. What a wonderful song !

Boy this song and beat blew me away then and more so now. Motown was my Heart And Soul

@donnabarris1967

If you don't dance with this song something's wrong. The beat and the words to this song has always had me. Well done A+ ALWAYS

Great Tune....takes me back to The Motown Revue, Fox Theatre, Detroit Michigan. 3 Shows per day. Early Sixties..those were the days history being made.

@StevenMichaelBogarat

We took the 7 Mile Road Bus To The Fox on Woodward Ave....$ 1.25 for one show....Amazing times

@ernestgough4634

Didn't realize that history was being made....great times, none better than Motown, Hitsville USA.

Great performance by Jimmy. Excellent song penned by Smokey. Outstanding background vocals by The Andantes.

I had no clue Smokey wrote this great song

I loved this song as a young girl growing up on the west side of Detroit.
