How can you walk away from my love
How can you turn around and leave me now
How can you walk away from my love
You may never find another love like mine
Baby wake me up
Tell me it’s all been a bad bad dream
Ain’t I been good to you
Didn’t I give you my everything
Baby can’t you hear me sing
How can you walk away from my love
How can you turn around and leave me now
How can you walk away from my love
You may never find another love like mine
Is it someone else
Did they talk you out of loving me
What did I do wrong
Please baby I don’t wanna be free
And I want you to belong to me
How can you walk away from my love
How can you turn around and leave me now
How can you walk away from my love
You may never find another love like mine
Wait a minute now
You can’t leave me here like this
Make me understand
How you can turn it off like a switch
This feeling that I can’t resist
How can you walk away from my love
How can you turn around and leave me now
How can you walk away from my love
You may never find another love like mine
How can you walk away from my love
How can you turn around and leave me now
How can you walk away from my love
You may never find another love like mine
You may never find another love like mine

Well the way I love you baby
Got me feeling kinda rough
You gave me a little bit of your love
But a little bit ain’t enough
Ain’t that love love love
Ain’t that love love love
Ain’t that love love love
Ooh it’ll getcha every time
I don’t want nobody baby
They don’t thrill me like you do
All I want is every little thing
I can only get from you
Ain’t that love love love
Ain’t that love love love
Ain’t that love love love
Ooh it’ll make you lose your mind
I been thinking about you baby
You’re the best I ever had
And even though you let me go
Well I still want you so bad
Ain’t that love love love
Ain’t that love love love
Ain’t that love love love
Ooh and I still wish you were mine
Well the way I love you baby
Got me feeling kinda rough
You gave me a little bit of your love
But a little bit ain’t enough
Ain’t that love love love
Ain’t that love love love
Ain’t that love love love
Ooh it’ll make you lose your mind

I never cared for cloudy skies
It’s a feeling I can’t disguise
These watercolor kinda days
Make me wish I could wash away
They say the river’s on the rise
Like it’s never been
I guess the roses need the rain
But I know
The sun’s gonna shine
The sun’s gonna shine again
Don’t know when
But I know
The sun’s gonna shine again
Drip drop on my windowsill
It rained all night and it’s raining still
Waiting for those clouds to break
Gives me a feeling I just can’t shake
Seems like it’s been pouring down
Since I don’t know when
You know I never could stand the rain
But I know
The sun’s gonna shine
The sun’s gonna shine again
Don’t know when
But I know
The sun’s gonna shine again
Seems like it’s been pouring down
Since I don’t know when
You know I never could stand the rain
But I know
The sun’s gonna shine
The sun’s gonna shine again
Don’t know when
But I know
The sun’s gonna shine again

The Rhythm of the City

My heart beats to the rhythm of the city
I move my feet to the tempo of this town
My heart beats to the rhythm of the city
Lord how I love the sound
Wake me up when we reach the city limits
I can’t wait to see those lights
Let me know when we’re gonna cross that river
There’s someone in that city I’ve got to see tonight
My heart beats to the rhythm of the city
I move my feet to the tempo of this town
My heart beats to the rhythm of the city
Lord how I love the sound
Where I live, there’s just something in the water
Where I live, there’s music in the air
Take me home, I can’t wait another minute
I’ve got to see my baby waiting for me there
My heart beats to the rhythm of the city
I move my feet to the tempo of this town
My heart beats to the rhythm of the city
Lord how I love the sound
Lord how I love the sound
Lord how I love the sound

Keep On Keep On

Baby if you tell me ‘go climb that mountainside’
Even if you tell me to swim the ocean wide
If that’s what it takes, then that’s what I’ll do
I’m gonna keep on, keep on, keep on loving you
Honey if I have to I can stop a moving train
Baby if you need me to, I can make it rain
If that’s what it takes, then that’s what I’ll do
I’m gonna keep on, keep on, keep on loving you
Love like this don’t just happen every day
And I ain’t gonna let it get away
I just want to keep on loving you
So I’m gonna keep on, keep on, keep on
Doing what I have to do
Baby if you need me to fight a mountain lion
If at first I don’t succeed I’m gonna keep on, keep on trying
If that’s what it takes, then that’s what I’ll do
I’m gonna keep on, keep on, keep on loving you
Love like this don’t just happen every day
And I ain’t gonna let it get away
I just want to keep on loving you
So I’m gonna keep on, keep on, keep on
Doing what I have to do
Baby if you need me to fight a mountain lion
If at first I don’t succeed I’m gonna keep on, keep on trying
If that’s what it takes, then that’s what I’ll do
I’m gonna keep on, keep on, keep on loving you
I’m gonna keep on, keep on, keep on loving you
I’m gonna keep on, keep on, keep on loving you
I’m gonna keep on
I’m gonna keep on
I’m gonna keep on
Keep on loving you

I Don't Wanna Know

Well if you don’t wanna tell me
I don’t wanna know
I can’t be with you
Everywhere you go
So whatever you’re doing
With some so-and-so
If you don’t wanna tell me
I don’t wanna know
Well a little bird told me
A story about you
It’s only a rumor
But it may be true
So when you tell a secret
Whisper it real low
Down low
‘Cause if you don’t wanna tell me
I don’t wanna know
Don’t wanna know
You been telling me lies again
Don’t wanna know
It’s a stranger or my best friend
Baby you know this ain’t my
Ain’t my first rodeo
Oh no
And if you don’t wanna tell me
I don’t wanna know
No if you don’t wanna tell me
I don’t wanna know
No I don’t
No if you don’t wanna tell me
I don’t wanna know
I don’t wanna know
You don’t have to tell me baby
I don’t wanna know

I ain’t done loving you yet
I ain’t done loving you yet
Even though you can hurt me so
I ain’t done loving you yet
Someone like you may never come my way again
This chance could pass me by
I know I could lose you like a feather in the wind
But baby I’ve got to try
‘Cause I ain’t done loving you yet
I ain’t done loving you yet
Even though you can hurt me so
I ain’t done loving you yet
I had a dream about you the other night
You left me in a crowd alone
I don’t wanna wake up in the early morning light
And turn to find you gone
‘Cause I ain’t done loving you yet
I ain’t done loving you yet
Even though you can hurt me so
I ain’t done loving you yet
I spend all my time thinking about you all day
And the things we do at night
You drive me to distraction in so many little ways
And whether it’s wrong or right
Well I ain’t done loving you yet
I ain’t done loving you yet
Even though you can hurt me so
I ain’t done loving you yet
I ain’t done loving you yet
I ain’t done loving you yet
Even though you can hurt me so
I ain’t done loving you yet
Even though you can hurt me so-oh
I ain’t done loving you yet
I ain’t done loving you yet

Maybe someday
You’ll want me again
When we’re old and gray
And you need a friend
I have no doubt
I’ll still love you then
If I ever get the chance again
Nobody knows
And you never can tell
What tomorrow holds
And honey I wish you well
But I’ll bring you back
From wherever you’ve been
If I ever get the chance again
Nobody knows
And you never can tell
What tomorrow holds
And honey I wish you well
But I’ll be right there
When you tell me when
If I ever get the chance again
Oh if I ever get the chance again
Oh if I ever, if I ever get the chance again

If I Had Money

Well if I had money
I know what I’d do
Well if I had money
I know what I’d do
Honey if I had money
I’d spend it all on you
Someone like you
Should have everything you need
Well someone like you
Should have everything you need
Baby I just feel lucky
You ever needed me
I went out last night
And the night before
I went out last night
And the night before
Baby if I don’t make some money
Ain’t going out no more
I use six little strings
Just to pay my bills
I use six little strings
Just to pay these bills
It’s all I wanna do
And all I ever will
Well if I had money
I know what I’d do
Well if I had money
I know what I’d do
Honey if I had money
I’d spend it all on you

How Do I Say No
04:13

You walked back into my life
What was I supposed to do
Can you tell me something girl
How do I say no to you
I’ve been going out of my mind
You say you’ve been crazy too
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me something girl
How do I say no to you
Tell me how do I, how do I
How do I say no
How do I, how do I
How do I say no
Tell me how do I, how do I
How do I say no
How do I, how do I
How do I say no to you
We both know you’ll break my heart
But baby only you know when
And we both know when you change your mind
I’ll just take you back again
After all these sleepless nights
And after all that we’ve been through
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me something girl
How do I say no to you
Tell me how do I, how do I
How do I say no
How do I, how do I
How do I say no
Tell me how do I, how do I
How do I say no
How do I, how do I
How do I say no to you
