Sister Sledge - How To Love Lyrics






I know how to sing a pretty song
I can carry on talking all night long
But, when it comes to you
I don't know what to do

I guess I never knew how to love
I have to fulfill all of my dreams
My frustrations are bursting at the seams
Sometimes I don't have time
When you want to wine and dine

But, you are still the one I'm thinking of
I guess I never knew how to love
I never knew just how to love
I guess I never knew how to love
I never knew just how to love

I didn't plan to be a star
Didn't you tell me to be just what you are?
You're so important to be
These things I have to be
I guess I never knew how to love

I see you, why you want to go?
I love, but it doesn't show
I am just being myself
Can't be anybody else

But, you are still the one I'm thinking of
I just don't know how to love
I just don't know how, how to love
When it comes you
I just don't know what to do

No, no, I don't know how to love, love baby
I just don't know what to do

I guess I never knew just how to love
I guess I never knew just how to love
I guess I never knew how to love

Without you
I just don't know what to do
Without you
I just don't know what to do
Without you
I just don't know what to do
Without you

    I never heard this song before. It is quite hauting. I guess it got pass me, nevertheless, it is a real gem. It really moves me. I am so glad that I discovered it.

  3. S.... L....

    This song is incredible. Kathy has an amazing voice and she never sounded better. Bernard and Nile never disappointed me. RIP Joni.

  4. p.... ....

    Were the strings double tracked? they sound phased. Love the ache in Kathy's voice.

  5. m.... ....

    Awe and Wonder when you listen to this gem. Kathy has that voice, and Nile and Bernard knew how to capture her in pure splendor.

  6. S.... L....

    There best song ever! Vocals, arrangement, everything on point. Song truly reflects my life.

  7. R.... C....

    Beautiful. I just love her raspy voice.

  8. T.... M....

    Brilliant fantastic cool sexy female group sister sledge were just a super disco soul funk pop sensations always been a big fan of them from when I was a child in 1978 living in Wigan Lancashire England music was just mind blowing Barry White earth wind and fire bee gees Roxy music the jam madness chic queen dire straits Billy Joel k c sunshine band

  9. T.... M....

    Another classic track from sister sledge wow just hit after hit with the help of Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards !!! I just love this all American family group from sunny San Francisco ! Listen and learn you young people this is proper high quality music from 1970s + 80s a golden era for artists !

    Kathy crushed it !!! What a beautiful and unique voice !!! Something was missed!!! These ladies did not the credit they earned and deserved. When their music can still be played and listened to and it makes you smile, rejoice, cry, tap your feet, and bob your head in rhythm, it should be "Hall of Fame." Thank you, Sister Sledge, for the happiness you have contributed to my life via your music.

    #DAMN
    This song got me all in my feelings right now.
    #CLASSIC KATHY! With her fine self. Definitely had a crush on her back in the day.
    The violins, piano and bass cords are sexy. Especially at the end.
    The "Chic" sound

    If you like this song check out other "ballads" by Rodgers and Edwards. They were not only funk masters they could really lay down a heartfelt tearjerker.

    I want to say both albums by CHIC were the hottest for Sister Sledge. After this great team of writers/producers the group's carrer went down hill. I love this song.....it was the best ever!

  52. V.... ....

    THIS IS THE SONG THAT WON ME OVER on this whole album. This song, this song alone was the one that did it to me. All the eliments of CHIC and Kathy's delivery...too much! Gosh I am back in 1980 when I use to sit in front of my stereo with two speakers and just zone out when I played this song. THE BEST!!!!

  53. A.... ....

    Did Kathy ever sound better?

    A.... ....

    Thinking of you was pretty good , you fooled around, somebody loves me, and of course we are family:)
    This one can make you cry.
    that voice and those string, and nile rodgers on guitar and bernard edwards on bass.
