I'm the One Who Loves You - The Impressions

I'm the One Who Loves You - The Impressions
2:29
The Impressions, 1963
Written by Curtis Mayfield

The friend-zoned guy's "give me a chance" anthem.  The narrator bemoans the face that the lady is coming back to tell her friend of another heartache and yet never seems to realize that, yes, he's the one who loves her.  Tired of white knighting, he's now going to step up: "This time I won't let you go back / Never again, my dear, in fact."  Kinda controlling, no?  Fellas, the way to let a lady know you're worthy of love is to be worthy of love.  No need to force it!  Beautiful vocals by the group, though.
