Love is here (love is here) and, oh, my darling,
Now you're gone (now you're gone).
Love is here (love is here) and, oh, my darling,
Now, now you're gone (now you're gone).

You persuaded me to love you, and I did.
But instead of tenderness I found heartache instead.
Into your arms I fell so unaware,
Of the loneliness that was waiting there.

Diana spoken/Backup sung:
You closed the door to your heart,/(Look what you've done.)
And you turned the key,/(Look what you've done.)
Locked your love away from me.

Sung:
Love is here (love is here) and, oh, my darling,
Now you're gone (now you're gone).
You made me love you (you made me love you),
And, oh, my darling now you're gone (now you're gone).

You said loving you would make life beautiful,
With each passing day.
But as soon as love came into my heart,
You turned and you walked, just walked away.

Diana spoken/Backup sung:
You stripped me of my dreams./(Look what you've done.)
You gave me faith, then took my hope./(Look what you've done.)
Look at me now.

Sung:
Look at me, see what lovin' you has done to me.
Look at my face (look at my face),
See how cryin' has
Left its trace (left its trace).

After you made me all your own (made me all your own),
Then you left me all alone (left me all alone).
You made your words sound so sweet,
Knowing that your love I couldn't keep.

My heart cries out for your touch,/(Look what you've done.)
But you're not there./(Look what you've done.)
And the lonely cry fades in the air.

Sung:
Love is here (love is here) and, oh, my darling,
Now you're gone (now you're gone).
Love is here (love is here) and, oh, my darling,
And, oh, my darling now you're gone (now you're gone).

You made me love you (you made me love you).
Oh, my darling now you're gone (now you're gone).
You made me love you (you made me love you),
Fade.
Oo-oh-oh, my darling now you're gone.

1When The Supremes made their Motown debut in 1961, they were Diana Ross,
Mary Wilson & Florence Ballard. In mid-1967 Ballard left the group and was
replaced by Cindy Birdsong, after which they were billed as Diana Ross &
the Supremes. Ross left the group toward the end of 1969 (with the
execption of one show in Las Vegas in January 1970), to pursue a solo
career. She was replaced by Jean Terrell and the three of them recorded
under the name, The Supremes, until 1977 with a few personnel changes along
the way. Only Mary Wilson stayed with the group from beginning to the end.
