填詞作曲由Otis Redding 及 Jerry Butler 負責

I’ve been loving you too long to stop now

You were tired and you want to be free
My love is growing stronger, as you become a habit to me
Oh I’ve been loving you a little too long
I don’t want to stop now, oh
With you my life
Has been so wonderful
I can’t stop now

You were tired and your love is growing cold
My love is growing stronger as our affair affair grows old
I’ve been loving you a little too long, long
To stop now
Oh, oh, oh
I’ve been loving you a little bit too long
I don’t want to stop now no, no, no

Don’t make me stop now, no baby
I’m down on my knees please, don’t make me stop now
I love you, I love you
I love you with all of my heart
And I can’t stop now
Please, please don’t make me stop now
