Lyrics for James

James, he came to my place He said he had to see my face He hopes that we can still be friends In his own way, he'll love me til the end And, James, he came to the door Wanting to know for sure Why love gets up and goes I'm sorry, but it had no place to grow Oh, James. My love for you is stronger, don't you know? I'd like to celebrate you, dear All in all, it's been a pretty good year I looked deep within myself I got scared by just how hard I fell Oh, James. You broke me, I thought I knew you well. Oh, you had me Honey and me, oh, sun and the moon I'll be fine by June I could tell that you weren't well Oh, James. You broke me, I thought I knew you well Oh, can't you see you belong with me? I could tell that you weren't well Oh, James. You broke me, I thought I knew you well
