"The Same Love That Made Me Laugh" lyrics - BILL WITHERS

Your love is like a chunk of gold
Hard to get and hard to hold, mm, mm.

Like a rose that's soft to touch, mm, mm
Love has thorns and it hurts so much, mm.

Well then, why... why
Must the same love that made me laugh
Make me cry.

Well now, you think of love as a sittin' on a mountain
Think of it as bein' a great big rock
Won't you think before you start it to rollin' down
Because a once you start it
You can't make it stop

I've given all I have to give, mm
And if you don't want me
I don't want to live, mm.

Well then, why... why
Must the same love that made me laugh
Why you wanna make me cry?

Why you wanna make me cry?
Why you wanna make me wet my pillow?
I'm just cryin' like a weeping willow
Why you wanna make me cry?
Why oh why

Why you wanna make me cry
Oh why you wanna make me mess up my pillow
I'm just cryin' like a weeping willow
Now why you wanna make me cry
