Ambrosia - How Can You Love Me Lyrics






Babe, it took a long, long time to get it out this way
Now, that the hurtin's over all I've got to say
(is) that I know
Sure as I am living
It takes more than forgiving
'cause it ain't been easy
I know you did your best to please me

How can you love me,
After all the years we've tried
After all the tears you've cried
After our love has died

Babe, I've seen some pretty faces everywhere I go
I say now
Maybe I ain't the same person that you used to know

But I know
In my heart I'm livin'
For the love you've given
And the foolish thing about it
Is that I thought I'd live without it

How can you love me
When you know I've been with someone else
And I ain't too happy with myself
But I keep on comin' back around

Ooh, sometimes it feels like I'm gone forever
(I'm gone forever)
Ooh, it gets so hard to wait
(it gets hard to wait)
Ooh, we're far away and it ain't gettin' better
Well, I know that somethin' is surely wrong
When I feel this way, well I can't go on and on

Ambrosia How Can You Love Me Comments
  1. E.... S....

    Love this song! Never heard it before!!

  2. c.... l....

    Good song!

  3. B.... R....

    Bruce Hornsby was in the band here...on piano.

  4. A.... T....

    My god David Pack-the lead singer is so hot!!.!!!!! Any other lady’s think so too? Please PM ME..

  5. t.... ....

    Is that Bruce hornsby?!

  6. b.... ....

    David Pack is a star of rock, and should be as well known as Steve Perry or Michael McDonald (well maybe) - great song from their last album that was ignored and deserved to be a hit... that's BRUCE HORNSBY on piano - he ended up in Sheena Easton's touring band, and then when he formed THE RANGE, Ambrosia's Joe Puerta was a member!

  7. B.... R....

    Bruce Hornsby on the keyboards

  8. p.... ....

    I don 't know why David Pack reminds me so much of Glen Tilbrook (Squeeze). They're so completely different yet somehow so much alike.

  9. r.... h....

    When this song came out, it helped me from what I was going thru at the time. Love Ambrosia I have all their albums. Great California Band. .

  10. M.... ....

    I came here to see Bruce Hornsby on the piano. I have always like Ambrosia and David Pack's solo album. I had never heard this before. Great song.

  11. S.... ....

    Love Ambrosia. David is still sexy after all these years.

    S.... ....

    Susie Q I agree hehe

  20. M.... ....

    This song is really fantastic . It’s like listening to a brand new Ambrosia song . Just purchased the whole album on ITunes .

  21. R.... T....

    This song is awesome. been a fan forever.

  22. R.... B....

    Great song, the pianist became famous in is own right.. but this Band, this Song is a beautiful uniity, a joint venture with Love, Determination and the rugged soul crying out for an intervention within. Kicks Ass!

  23. D.... C....

    I Never Ever Heard of this Song before :
    but I Surely Could Love Him Unconditionally No Matter What !
    Who Couldn't ????

  27. J.... L....

    Bruce Hornsby on Piano

  28. J.... P....

    I love this. I think I would love anything David sang.

    J.... P....

    Julie Pritchett me too plus yes so sexy in this video!.

  29. c.... ....

    This was a killer album, and totally ignored. I got it the week it was released. Loved it. But it was in the sale/clearance bins within just a few weeks. I never understood that; some of the songs on this album (like this one) were among their best.

  30. T.... L....

    wow!! I am hearing songs that I never heard from Ambrosia!! why were they not on radio?!! awesome songs!?

    T.... L....

    It was a little, but only got to 86 on the Hot 100. I think most stations thought the song was too rocky for Ambrosia.

    T.... L....

    wow, its different but I love it

  31. J.... M....

    When did this song come out?

    J.... M....

    May 1982. Notice Bruce Hornsby playing keyboards on the video.

  32. T.... H....

    Awesome songs and some amazing material produced on this record...probably the most underated Ambrosia record...what a pity! A masterpiece...this song is a killer! As Doug said "Joe's "Still Not Satisfied" and David's "Endings" are clear standouts along with this track"...wish we could see a reunion one day!

  33. j.... s....

    Ambrosia How Can You Love Me?Love you 5-3-17Alabama XoXo, Love this song,

  34. w.... s....

    One of the most underrated songs of the 80s

  40. j.... s....

    Ambrosia still rocks this song, Love from Alabama,10-11-16,

  41. p.... ....

    Great song! Any fan of pop/rock would like this!

  42. O.... M....

    How was this song not a hit? It has early 80's written all over it; sounds like Survivor, Journey and similar bands from the time...

    O.... M....

    Oliverio Martinez Also Toto

    O.... M....

    1982 was when this came out, so I know what you mean.

  43. j.... s....

    David Pack please get back with Ambrosia, How Can You Love Me, Love you 😄😁😀😊

  44. s.... b....

    Great stuff by a great band. Always, always underrated. Keep the dream alive!

  45. J.... L....

    Am i the only one to notice? That's Bruce Hornsby on piano.

    J.... L....

    yes i think is bruce!

    J.... L....

    OMG, you are right, John!! I get so caught up in David Pack that I missed that!! Thank you!!

    J.... L....

    No. That’s Christopher North!

    J.... L....

    No definitely Hornsby. From Bruce's bio-
    In 1982 Hornsby joined the band Ambrosia for their last album Road Island and can be seen in the band's video for the album's single "How Can You Love Me."

    J.... L....

    A couple of the guys from the band wound up in the Range.

  46. j.... s....

    Ambrosia rocks on this song, How Can You Love Me, 7-27-16,

  47. j.... s....

    David Pack I won't a video with how Can You Love Me, 7-14-16, I just watched the video and I love it back in our younger days, I think Ambrosia rocks, I am sorry you are not with them anymore,

  48. j.... s....

    All I can say about Ambrosia is love David Pack can't no body sing like him, How Can You Love Me, Holding On To Yesterday,

  49. j.... s....

    Crowded House brings back the good times , Don't Dream It's Over, I love this song still today,

  50. j.... s....

    Ambrosia rocks love you guy's 6-6-16

  51. j.... s....

    Ambrosia love this song How Can You Love Me, Love it guy's,😄😅😃😂😁😀😊

  52. N.... R....

    This is the first time I've ever heard this. Great song and band.

  53. C.... ....

    This tune only reached #86 on the Billboard Hot 100, 6-12-82.

  54. D.... H....

    Couple things - this album was unjustly ignored by their own label, industry and press - it's a great blend of prog, R&B and their many influences. Joe's "Still Not Satisfied" and David's "Endings" are clear standouts along with this track. This video includes Bruce Hornsby as mentioned here elsewhere by I gotta call out master-of-the-hammond Chris North -the most clean-cut shots of him I've ever seen! The guys look like they are really together on this video - too bad it was their last save for live shows since then... though a new one is on it's way.

    D.... H....

    +Doug Harr Couldn't agree with you more. David Pack is one HELLUVA guitar player. He was on a Chet Atkins tribute that can found on You Tube. I was stunned when I saw David Pack with a lot of other great guitarists. If Chet Atkins had chosen him to be on the tribute, he wouldn't have been there. Burleigh Drummond is one of the most unheralded drummers of all time IMHO. Joe Pueta is a great bass player. I don't know/understand the falling out David Pack had with the rest of Ambrosia and why he left; but AFAIAC, Ambrosia lost one of their leading lights that can't be replaced. Both David & Ambrosia need to "bury the hatchet" and bring David back to fold. Ambrosia will NEVER be the same without his vocals. Once again, just MHO.

    D.... H....

    love this!!

    D.... H....

    Bruce was in the band for a year. Then left with Joe Pueta to start Bruce Hornsby & the Range.

    D.... H....

    Tight. So frickin' tight. As close to absolute perfection as it gets. But hmmmm, not a B-3. What gives?

    D.... H....

    Doug Harr I thought that was Bruce Hornsby in there. Awesome

  55. f.... ....

    There are so many forgotten who deserve better this one they were from torrance or san pedro not sure my part of California great area

    f.... ....

    Hi Fred~ I know that David Pack grew up in Huntington Park, CA and the members of the group were all California gentlemen, I believe. Amazing band. Forever a David Pack lover!~~

  56. C.... P....

    Watch David Pack's left hand perform magic on the neck of his guitar!  It's a joy every time to observe, Such skill!  Burleigh looks very into this tune, too!  But, where did bass player, Joe Puerta, get his clothes for this video?  I'm thinking Goodwill.

  57. M.... ....

    I cant wait to see them perform with Billy Ocean in Virginia on Valentine's Day!!

  58. c.... d....

    Has Mr. Pack ever thought to do something like a made-for-TV movie about the band from its' formation through now?  It would certainly draw interest with the current music buyers;  as well as, bring many to concerts.  They would then have the rational for additional concert venues.

  59. L.... ....

    This song reflected the fact that Ambrosia on their album Rhode Island wanted a more explosive sound at the time and they wanted to get away from their soft rock reputation that they had with songs like "How Much I Feel","Biggest Part Of Me" and "You're The Only Woman (You & I)".  That doesn't mean I don't like their softer sound in their earlier days, as a matter of fact I like both directions. It will be great if Ambrosia made a comeback no matter what direction they take their music.

    L.... ....

    I agree with everything you said except for how you spelled their album title, which was really "Road Island."

  60. R.... ....

    I'm an Ambrosia fan, but never heard this song before.  Great tune, and of course, Pack always drives it home!

  61. c.... d....

    I tried to ask a question on a site supposedly run by "Ambrosia".  The "band" ended the previous e-mail with "he's gone!"-speaking of David Pack when someone wanted to know why he wasn't listed anywhere.  Funny, all their top sellers and beautiful lyrics and melodies happened when he was part of everything-once he was "gone" so went most of the talent!  [email protected]

  62. F.... M....

    Toto influence? Ambrosia had already released their 3rd LP before Toto released their first LP. I've never heard anyone in Ambrosia list Toto as one of their influences. The Beatles, Gentle Giant, King Crimson, Motown... but NEVER Toto.

    F.... M....

    First Ambrosia-albums are very different from this. This sounds like the band is trying to be on the radio by sounding like other rockbands that get radio-airplay. Such as Toto at the time.

  63. B.... ....

    Yet ANOTHER great Ambrosia that received little airplay. I found this by accident a while back. I really like this. 

  64. c.... d....

    he also has at least one daughter, not sure which wife.  most likely gail. worked as a non-paid worker while my roommate was, one of the paid behind the scene workers for the production company-this is before david found religion.  if he really found it, and is happy with the way his life is-more and more power to him.  he would pass me almost daily for several shows over several years.  granted, i wasn't much to look at;  however, they went into studio to record one day-with liquid courage, passed me-looked (i thought-they finely see me. you can imagine how excited i was!),  as they passed,  he and another stated, "...somebody must have lost a bet..."(much laughter) for the remainder of the next 18 months i made myself a door opener, equipment finder, and the person there to make everyone else feel good.  i never changed the way i felt about their music, and whenever significant others were there (spouses or...), we showed them respect.  many years later now and he has grown up-good for him.  this is only the second time i shared this.  the last engagement in ann arbor, mi.  he was but several steps away, and you could tell that he was trying to remember where he seen me before maybe, some day, he will remember enough to try to give at least a small apology for a young mans' behavior, even if it only something that he remembers-and i hope that he passes to his son how to be gracious and polite. God bless all the fans,  and the band members.   david, "peace be with you"..

  65. R.... 8....

    So you guys that say you know them was this about his first wife, Gail, and when did they divorce. Just curious since some of his songs are about her. I know he is now married to a lovely lady named Stacey with a beautiful son. Hard to find any info for us David Pack fans. Thanks, Kathy . Don't know why another name pops up here. Maybe cause I originally made my acct on her puter.

    R.... 8....

    I heard he was Married to a SUSIE ! ?

    R.... 8....

    I think his first wife died of cancer.

  66. h.... ....

    Que gran clasico de inicios de los 80 cuando había buen musicon

  67. C.... ....

    Does anyone else here own that tobacco sunburst Strat that David Pack is playing?

  68. C.... ....

    A lot of people think the group's previous album, 1980's "One Eighty," referred to the group's 180-degree turnaround in musical direction, but it actually alluded to the recording date for the album: January 1980.

  69. 7.... ....

    These guys never lost "it"- they were and are one of the best West Coast bands ever, this music pumps me up and is so damn groovy-these guys could rock out with the best of them and their slower songs/ballads are the best.David Pack is a true legend as is Ambrosia-phenomenal band!

  70. M.... T....

    Toto influence or not, this is the best song!!!

  71. D.... Z....

    Toto influence.Or visa versa .The guys can do superior music what ever type they want.

  72. C.... M....

    Superb with capital S. Thanks Wounded Birds Records for rescuing master tapes.

  73. m.... ....

    How Can 2 People Not Love this? David Pack is love personified.

    m.... ....

    Well said!! I so agree with you. <3

  74. p.... ....

    Agreed.

  75. s.... t....

    I agree ♪ ♩ ♫ ❤

  76. �.... ....

    This entire album kicks ass...Road Island

  77. �.... ....

    ★☆★☆

  78. O.... ....

    I freaking love David Packs voice - one of my top 5 favorite singers of all time.

  79. A.... J....

    Such a great album I don't know if they won a Grammy but is a piece of art. Congrats, hoping to be released soon

  80. c.... j....

    It's Christopher North, madman of the Hammond B3...

  81. r.... b....

    Ouch, my fragile twenty-something ego just got wounded. BTW the man playing the Hammond sure looks like Jackson Brown.

  82. s.... ....

    I look forward to hearing form you both! Sscreemin

  83. c.... j....

    it's me... will call or email you soon, ok? much love from us both...

  84. s.... ....

    Is that you Pat B. in Florida? I would love a phone call from you or an email. Need to talk to yo about the book. Thanks, Sscreemin

  85. c.... j....

    The man playing the Hammond is far better looking...

  86. c.... j....

    Come on Steve, that's what they have said since 1993!!! Ha! much love, pat b

  87. R.... Y....

    la epoca de oro de la musica jamas volvera ........

  88. C.... ....

    This peaked at #86 on the Billboard Hot 100, 6/5/82. People didn't take kindly to the group's harder-edged approach on this album, with their new producer, James Guthrie (who had previously worked with Judas Priest).

  89. R.... M....

    I love this song!

  90. A.... ....

    Wow! Great news! :-)

  91. s.... ....

    I case no one noticed the person playing the piano is Bruce Hornsby who was in the band for a while. How do I know? I was their manager/ house sound engineer and I still work with them today. they are curently working on a new CD. .

  92. G.... E....

    What a magnificent piece of Rock!!

  93. r.... b....

    WOW!! Can anyone be better looking and put down better sound than the lead singer. He Rocks!!

  94. M.... T....

    YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  95. M.... T....

    This song is like a delicious fresh omelet. Simply...OUSTANDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  96. w.... ....

    Awesome music still after all these years...

  97. H.... ....

    Love this video. Love this song. Love this band!!!!

  98. C.... L....

    Great album. I wish someone would post "Endings".

  99. x.... ....

    in these days i was collecting albums acording to the slevee design and i found Road Island and great music.

  100. �.... ....

    from a great album Road Island! Ambrosia @ their best!
