On The Way Out (On The Way In) - Jimmy Ruffin

Oh, I’m on the way out of love

I’m on the way in

To heartache and sorrow

I can feel it begin

Looking back at love

Closing its door

Watching heartache open up

'Cause I have love no more

Oh, oh, baby

The final word’s been said

Her footsteps fade away

She’s walking towards her future

I’m left in yesterday

The shadows wait ahead

My life is almost dark

No more will she walk beside me

So into the dark I start

Saying, «Where to now?»

I hear myself sadly cry out

But I found out

And now there is no doubt

That I’m on the way out of love

I’m on the way in

To heartache and sorrow

I can feel it begin

Looking back at love

Closing the door

Watching heartache open up

'Cause I have love no more

There’s no regrets

I’ve had my time

But still, I think of all the days

That I have called her mine

But let me have just one more look

So I can keep

Inside my heart a memory

Of how love used to be

And let me hear her tender voice

Whispering once more

To touch her hand and kiss her lips

Because that’s forever

And I’ll go sad but proud

To have known the joy that only love gives

Guess, I found out

Of my wrong she won’t forgive

So I’m on the way out of love

I’m on the way in

To heartache and sorrow

I can feel it begin

Looking back at love

Closing the door

Watching heartache open up

'Cause I have love no more

And I’m on the way out

You know I’m on my way in

Oh, baby, I’m on my way

(Heartache and sorrow

I can feel it, feel it)

Can’t you see it, can’t you see it, baby?

(Looking back at love)

Said it’s closing the door

Watching heartache open up

'Cause I have love no more

And I’m on the way

You know I’m on, on, on, on, on my way, baby
