Supremes [The] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My World Is Empty Without You, babe.
And as I go my way alone,
I find it hard for me to carry on.
I need your strength,
I need your tender touch
I need the love, my dear, I miss so much.
My World Is Empty Without You, babe.
From this old world I try to hide my face,
But from this loneliness there's no hiding place.
Inside this cold and empty house I dwell,
in darkness with memories I know so well.
I need your love more than before,
I can hardly carry on anymore.
My World Is Empty Without You, babe,
without you babe,without you babe,
My mind and soul have felt like this,
Since love between us no more exist.
And each time that darkness falls,
if finds me alone with these four walls.
My World Is Empty Without You, babe.
My World Is Empty Without You, babe.

Happy Birthday Florence. You are still loved and missed, and no matter what some may say, you were one of the original Supremes.

Flo was so beautiful.

The first record I ever owned. My mom bought it for me. Now I listen to it in 2020, and I'm stunned by the beauty of the arrangement and the yearning in the vocals.

I can’t stop coming back to this mix, nearly every day. That tempo, that orchestra, the bass…all in the way you mixed and added sections. Just awesome. Maybe we need more of this music in today’s crazy world.

The production is so good.
Donnie's Anectdolls and more!
