Píseň: Standin by the Same Old Love

Interpret:
Bonnie Raitt
Album:
The Glow
I told you before
 You know it may take a little while
 I'd like to go there with you but
 Runnin' just ain't my style
 You want me to stay, well
 You got to take it nice and slow
 I'll show you the way
 Just tell me if you want to know


 I remember the time 
 When we thought we'd never get enough
 Tryin' to make a new love
 And makin' it all at once
 We wonder how we keep it up
 After all these years
 You worry 'bout your end, baby
 I'll bring up the rear


 I love you baby 
 Don't you put me up against the wall
 I ain't gonna jump every time
 You need an overhaul
 Maybe it'll take all night
 But we'll do it 'til we get it right
 And we'll be standin' by the same old love
 That made us fall


 There's a lot more to love
 Than seein' how much love we can make
 There's the kindness that makes it
 So sweet 'til your little heart could break
 And I want you to know
 That I'm not just along for the ride
 And I won't settle for less than
 Everything I've got inside


 I love you baby 
 Don't you put me up against the wall
 I ain't gonna jump every time
 You need an overhaul
 Maybe it'll take all night
 But we'll do it 'til we get it right
 And we'll be standin' by the same,
 Standin' by the same
 Well, we'll be standin' by the same old
 Oughta be standin' by the same old love
 Oooo, standin'
 Standin'


 [Starts to fade...]


 Why aren't ya standin'?
 Oughta be standin'
 Why aren't you just standin'?
 Why aren't you just standin'?
 Why aren't you just standin'?...
