Who hadn't imagine writing a sixties style Motown song?
Whether with Diana or Smokey or David Ruffin blazing the lyrics to their tune.
It just depend on the arrangement.

With Ruffin, you just needed the soul to emerge.

Lyrics below:

As you leave
(Just walking out the door)
Just remember, no one will love you more.
(More than me)
As you walk
(Walk on-walk on)
Just remember these words

I gave you the best I could.
I supported you like I should.
And I know
        I know
        I know
No one could love you better.

Think of the things I've done.
Then tell me, I wasn't the one.
Who treated you like a treasure?
That was lost then found.
So I know.
     I know.
     I know.
No one could love you better.
(Better than me)

They can promise you the world.
Which I had within the grasp of my hands.
But it wasn't enough for you.

So true, so true, so true.
So that's, why I believe?
(Nobody could love you better)

It would only take minutes to see.
Who could love you better than me?
Just who?
Just who?
Just who?
Who will be the next fool?

I've played that part.
