Bill Withers (born July 4, 1938 in Slab Fork, West Virginia) is an American singer-songwriterwho performed and recorded from the late 1960s until the mid 1980s. Bill's father died when he was thirteen. He joined the US Navy at seventeen, and stayed there for nine years, before he moved to Los Angeles in 1967. While in Los Angeles, he worked in a Ford assembly plant in the day and performed in the juke joints during the night. When he debuted on the music scene with "Aint No Sunshine" he refused to give up his job at Ford because of his belief that the music business was a fickle industry and that he was still a novice compared to other working acts like The Temptationsor Sammy Davis, Jr.

The Same Love That Made Me Laugh Lyrics

Bill Withers

Your love is like a a chunk of gold

Hard to gain, and hard to hold

Like a rose that's soft to touch

Love has gone, and it hurts so much

Well and WhyÂ…

Must the same love that made me laugh

Make me cry?

Well now you think of love as sitting on a mountain

Think of it as being a great big rock

Won't you think before you started to roll it down

Because once you start it, you can't make it stop

I've given all I have to give

And if you don't want me

I don't want to live

Well and WhyÂ…

Must the same love that made me laughÂ…

Why you wanna make me cry? (x5)

Why you wanna make me lay in my pillow

Just cryin' like a weeping willow

Why you wanna make me cry? (x4)

Why you wanna make me mess in my pillow

I'm just cryin' like a weeping willow

Why you wanna make me cry? (x3)
