I've Passed This Way Before - The Temptations

life lands a crushing blow

and once again a heart is broken

and as history repeats it's self

these few words are sadly spoken

I've passed this way before.

i've felt this pain before

a hurt that took so long to end

has found my poor heart again

as i watch love walkin' away

it brings back old memories

a familiar pain still feels the same

once again heartache has found me

a dark cloud covered my heart ooh

when she told me goodbye

now there's nothing left but emptiness

and the tears that fill my cryin' eyes

i've pass this way before

i've felt this pain before

a hurt that took so long to end

has found my poor heart again

no matter how strong a man is

without a love he walks in the dark baby

if love deserts him it would surly hurt him

'cause his weakness is his heart

a lonely journey now stands before me

the endless pain has started

but this time i know the way

walkin' alone and broken hearted because

I've pass this way before

i've felt this pain before

A hurt that took so long to end

has found my poor heart again.
