Submarine Ladies

Written by Gerry Beckley, ©1973

Found on Hat Trick, Heard, and Highway.

Why do you laugh at me when you know I really care

You sometimes act as though I'm not even there

And yet if you did to me the things I do to you

I would surely say we're through

Don't you know that I love you

I was hoping you'd love me, too

Don't you know that I love you, love you

If I seem to you indiff'rent once or twice

It's because I was feelin' quite that way

And the time I hung up the phone and didn't speak again

Well, it's funny to look back then

Didn't I love you (Love you)

Didn't I love you all the time

Didn't you need me (Need me)

Wasn't it a long, hard climb

Don't you know that I love you

I was hoping you'd love me, too

Don't you know that I love you, love you
