Williams, Vanessa - Darlin' I Lyrics






Oooh, oooh.
Oooh, oh.
Oh, oooh, oh, oh, oooh, oooh, oooh.

I realized that now our love has past.
Tried so hard to make it last.
Feelings are far gone.
They just seem to fade away,
But yet I can hear him say we did try,
Tried our best to make it through those times.
Let's stop, don't go any further,
'Cause I need some time.

Darlin', I know you never meant to make me cry. (Me cry)
I never understood your reasons why.
And darlin', I know you never meant to make me cry. (Me cry)
Those lonely nights without you,
I guess it's goodbye.
Oooh.

I never thought that I could hear you say
How I should go my own way.
Tell me, can't you see the changes that you put me through.
I wonder if you really knew how I tried, (We tried)
Tried my best to make it through these times.
But you said stop, don't go any further,
'Cause I need more time. Oh, baby.

And darlin', I know you never meant to make me cry. (Me cry)
I never understood your reasons why.
Oh, oh, oh, darlin', I know you never meant to make me cry. (Me cry)
Those lonely nights without you,
I guess it's goodbye. Goodbye.

Oh.....oh. (Darlin', I)
You never meant to make me cry.
I never understood your reasons why.
Oh, oh, oh, darlin', I, you never meant to make me cry.
Tell me why, tell me why. Why. Oh, oh.
(Darlin', I) Woo, hoo, yeah.
You never meant to make me cry.
Don't say goodbye.

    I always have this song on repeat! This song is my way of letting him lose on how badly he hurt me although I know it was just his ego & pride other then him giving me what I gave him w/no strings or stimulations! Queen’s & King’s please know that We are Worthy and that despite our brokenness & mending & their brokenness & non acknowledgement of it We still have to keep moving despite the misgivings because We are Love ❤️

  40. A.... F....

    Diva status...werk MOMMA

  41. K.... C....

    I love this song. It's one of my favorites of hers. I like the double "To" tap "You never meant to-to make me cry" at 3:25 in the song. I wonder if the mistake was intentional or did anyone even notice? Has anyone else notice the mistake? The song is just plain cute.

    K.... C....

    Yea i just heard it. You Never meant "to-to" make me cry...... 😎

  42. t.... b....

    Its been over 30 years and this song takes me back. I still find myself thinking of her she was my true soulmate. and we were young she wanted to get married. I didn't think i could take care of her and wanted to be able to give her more so i said not now. But she said to me just like the song. Lets stop don't don't go any further because i need sometime. I never understood her reasons why. Darlin I.

  43. J.... M....

    So there are 58 jackasses who know very little about music, harmonies and just musical feel... that's their loss...
    This is a amazingly good song from an underrated musical talent. This piece can stand toe-to-toe with virtually any ballad we've been blessed with from decades ago until present day. Outstanding...with an awesome/classy video to go along with it.... this is Vanessa Williams showing us the total package..... nuff said

  44. T.... L....

    I remember hearing that Song on the 1st day of Middle School and it was constantly playing in my head.

    70s & 80s where my black sistas were hands down the most dominant vocalists!

  54. G.... A....

    THIS WAS THE SONG I FELT FROM HER AMAZING THAT SHE CONTINUED TO SHINE THUR THE INDUSTRY DESPITE THE NEGATIVITY SHE WAS TALENT PERSONIFIED
