[Verse 1]
When I fell for you I was just a child
I was longing for lovin' tender and mild
I was a fool to think that you'd take my hand
But I was blinded and too young to understand
[Chorus]
How I am I supposed to go on lovin'
How am I supposed to go on now
How am I supposed to go on lovin'
When you left me feel like I don't know how
[Verse 2]
Our love was new you had me by the tail
We were making plans and hearing wedding bells
Soon in your eyes I saw it burning low
And it was all but gone that love I used to know
[Chorus]
How I am I supposed to go on lovin'
How am I supposed to go on now
How am I supposed to go on lovin'
When you left me feel like I don't know how
[Verse 3]
I should have know that you would do me wrong
And that to nothing and no one would you ever belong
What will you do when you are old and gray
And all alone because you never chose to stay
[Chorus]
How am I supposed to go on lovin'
How am I supposed to go on now
How am I supposed to go on lovin'
When you left me feelin' like I don't know how
When you left me feelin' like I don't know how
