Isley Brothers, The - Why When Love Is Gone Lyrics
Ooh
Your love made a slave of me
But the love you gave you took away from me
Foolishly, I believed in you
What a fool I was, thinking your love was true
Selfishly, you broke my heart (My heart)
You were only fooling from the start (You were only fooling)
Still I have but one regret (Regret)
Although you're gone and I can't forget
Why when the love is gone?
Oh, why does my heart keep holding on?
Why when the love is gone?
Tell me why does my heart keep holding on
Darling, why'd you leave me broken hearted?
Why'd you swear to always care
Then you walk away and leave me in despair?
Heartlessly, you told me lies (Me lies)
Planning all the time to say goodbye (Planning all the time)
Still I have but one regret (Regret)
Although love is gone, I can't forget
Why when the love is gone?
Oh, why does my heart keep holding on?
Why when the love is gone?
Tell me why does my heart keep holding on
Ooh
Selflessly, you told me lies (Me lies)
Planning all the time to say goodbye (Planning all the time)
Still I have but one regret (Regret)
Although love is gone, I can't forget
Why when the love is gone?
Tell me why does my heart keep holding on?
Why when the love is gone?
Why does my heart keep holding on
Oh, oh why
Tell me why, oh why
Tell me why, oh why
Oh why my heart...

Absolutely timeless!😘
Northern Soul
One of my good find 50p finds at a record fair HAPPY DAYS
I recently bought a copy.been after it for years.my favourite isley brothers record
This must be one of the best records Motown ever produced just my opinion !!
freedom of your mind,,Ron Isley And Carlos Santana,
certainly get itchy feet listening to this uptempo isly bros'hit wahoo'' they never made a bad song .brilliant '' for me its the sound of the rollin' drum '' if anyone wants to know the definition of soul and motown is ''then listen to this'' beauty''ktf soulgray
Feet are stomping...❤❤this choon....😀

THANK GOD FOR POSTING MY FAVOURITE MOTOWN BAND I'VE POSTED TO FACEBOOK YOU MAY JOIN IN KTF EVERYONE ❤ ❤ ❤
nice group to sing this song Isley Brothers very touching tune
I found a lovely unplayed TMG copy in the Helen and Douglas House Children's Hospice shop in the Cowley Rd Oxford about 5 years ago. They were asking 50p I gave them £20 and I still think I got a bargain. Uptempo Motown Northern Soul at it's finest.
You certainly can find some terrific tuuuunes In charity shops I found a copy of Mr bloe(wind)for 50p
Very honourable
Great beat, fuzz guitar and all!
Cracking Dancer!
Cracking song, makes the goose bumps come out
Best Isley's song - EVER!
I agree this and put yourself in my place superb soulgray
Brought a album of there's yesterday and this is not on it.4.12.2014
did they really make this song, or is this computer engineered this sounds to good
You asked who is on drums- it's either Richard Pistol Allen or Uriel Jones. Either way, they are really pounding out that beat. My favorite thing on this record though is how they have that acid guitar in the mix- it's like producer Ivy Jo Hunter was trying to do a Motown / Rock fusion. I love it!
@***** Yep, I grew up in that era and remember those hits, so finding these Ivy Jo productions from the late 60's impressed me. Ivy was pretty far ahead of the game in his production style.
GREAT,,,, CCHHHHOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
if this doesnt bring on the urge to dance ,nothing will.
Classic NS Motown....brilliant.
great tune cheers for that x
Who is that on the drums.
Richard Allen & Uriel Jones (two drummers)
