Lyrics:
Through these eyes
I can see loneliness heading my way
The light of love has gone out
Now your shadow's gone away
You took away the sound
The touch, the smell, my sight
To see your smile

Oh, if and when
You're headed back this way
Where love was found
Want you to know this girl
Will be around (still be around)
If you decide to mend a heart
That you broke in pieces

You told me when we first met
That you'd soon being going away
Because there is somebody else
Demanding all your time
She took away the sound
The touch, the smell, my sight
To see your smile

Oh, if and when
You're headed back this way
Where love was found
Want you to know this girl
Will be around (still gonna be around)
If you decide to mend a heart
That you broke in pieces, oh, baby

Loneliness, loneliness
Come on, come on back to me
I need your love,
If and when (oh, baby)
You're headed back this way where love was found
Ooh, I need you
Want you to know this girl will still be around

If and when
You're back this way again
Come on back to me
If and when
You're headed back this way where love was found
Please, please, please
Want you to know this girl will still be around
If and when
Come on back to me again
You're headed back this way where love was found
Want you to know this girl will still be around
If and when
You're back this way again
If and when

Songwriters: B. Sigler / J.B. Jefferson / Lenny Pakula

Imagine catching this on TV Live in 74 and not being able to replay it over and over and over. Then you buy the record, and although it's still a great song, you'd always know in the back of your head that this perfect live masterpiece version exists out there. Then one day in 2021 someone uploads it to Youtube. I hope these people have found it again.

The Dresses. The Hair. The Nails. The Harmonies. The Drama Of It All. It Just Doesn’t Get Any Better.

The mics were on. The rent was due!! This was pure soul and emotion. @4:09 The way valerie crecendo into still be around ! They did what needed to be done. These harmonies alone will put you in a trance.

Notice how soon as they sing heart broken into pieces they sing individually as if broken apart 2:48

I love when the beautiful lady on the right hit that soft high note at 4:30 and just hold it.

No one is trying to out shine or over sing anyone.

That's why we're able to appreciate their talents individually and even as a group.

I honestly cannot get over this performance. ❤

I have a problem with how the crowd didn’t appreciate this masterpiece like they should!!!

I see why Fred Sanford (Redd Foxx) and his friends kept screaming "We Want the Three Degrees" on Sanford & Son 😂🔥🔥🔥🔥. Seriously, this is worth watching over and over!

I love how Tik tok is putting people on to Music from the 70’s and giving this group the flowers they deserve. Now back to rewatch this for like the 100th time

That "come on back to me" at 04:25 I'm literally in a trance. So enchanting.

The fact you can hear all 3 clearly is amazing. Real talent and skill here.

I LOVE HOW THE AUDIENCE SHUT UP AND ALLOWED EVERY SINGLE VOCAL NUISANCE TO BE HEARD! That is the utmost respect.
The golden age of live recordings.
