By chuck sabatino and michael mcdonald From a promise to a lie From lies to regret Turn your back on truth baby And that's always what you get A man could drown in a love so deep baby I'm not beggin' you to stay It's just lonely talk You don't hear a word i say You just turn and walk away baby If i'm on my knees and prayin' To the lord above When he listens to my prayer He knows that it's just lonely talk Well, i call your name And i cry all night Well, it's of no concern to you baby Now that i'm out of your sight A man could drown in a love so deep baby
