After The Pain

Well, I couldnt resist the urge to tell you the end of my story
For all those who wanted to know was there life after the pain
After the pain
You come and love me
And I welcome you
Youre a glad sight to see
And after the rain
And all that I have been through
I still cant explain
How I can still love you like I do
But I do, yes, I do
Still love you like I do (After the pain)
Though you still do me like you do (After the pain)
After the pain
We sit and we talk awhile
And I fight with all my might
To hold back the tears from falling with a pleasant smile
And after the rain
I cant believe you got the nerve to still call me, baby
And I try to tell you, �No, it aint so
But I guess �No just aint in me
Cause boy, I still love you like I do (After the pain)
Though you still do me like you do (After the pain)
Yeah, I know youre laughin
Those of you who heard Pain
Yeah, youre right, I sure did
I said Id never take him back again
Well, its a womans prerogative to change her mind isnt it?
But we do it all the time
Dont laugh, you probably done the same thing too
Its just that you know me and I dont know you
You know one thing, time has taught me that
Havin a piece of man is better than havin no man at all
So Imma just take what I got and work with it
You understand what I mean
And dont you remember thinkin back just a few years
When people used to try to help you stay together
They find out youre on the verge of breakin up
They used to cook up a little food and throw a little party
And whisper things in your ear like
Dont blame Mr. Charlie, Mr. Charlie is just a man
And hes doing the best he can
I heard em say, Dont blame Mr. Charlie, Mr. Charlie is just a man
And hes doing the best he can
Thats why I still love you like I do (After the pain)
Though you still do me like you do (After the pain, the pain)
I know that you know its true
After all Ive been through
I should be through with love
But theres a God up above
That keeps sayin, Betty try
Dont give up, you know why
The sun is gonna shine
Cause you are mine, all mine
You just keep doin your best
And I will do the rest
Cause I love you, love you, Betty, like I do
Thats why I still love you like I do (After the pain, the pain)
Though you still do me like you do (After the pain, the pain)
My love is deeper than any ocean
And my love is higher than any mountain
Its, oh, its full of emotion
My love is full of devotion
My love is in and out of season
And I love you with or without a reason
You see God is gonna bless me for lovin you
For all the times that you treated me wrong and I kept bein true
You see, Gods eyes theyre not closed
Hes not asleep
Said Hes watchineverything move you make
Every secret you keep
Boy, you better be careful
Hoo....hoo...hoo...hoo...
Said if you treat me bad or make my sad
My Father in heaven is watching you
But I still love you like I do (After the pain)
And no-n-n-no-n-n-no-n-n-nobodys ever gonna love you like I do (After the pain)
No ones ever gonna love you like I do
No ones ever gonna love you like I do
No ones ever gonna love you like I do
I dont know why I do, but I do, yes, I do (After the pain)
Oh...theres a woman in me that keeps on lovin you (After the pain, the pain)
I dont know why
Oh, I dont know why (I dont know why, baby) (After the pain, the pain)
I dont know why (I dont know why, baby), but I do (I do)
Said I do (I do, I do, I do)
Said I... (After the pain, the pain)
(Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa) (After the pain, the pain)
...do, I dont know why, baby (After the pain, the pain)
But I love you so...
Yes, I do (After the pain, the pain)
Baby, dont you know its true, yes, I do
Baby (After the pain), no strain (The pain)
Still love you after the pain (The pain)
(After the pain)
