Keep on Loving You
C-Clays Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Summer couldn't get here fast enough
You made A's and B's, I was C's and D's
Your daddy hated me 'cause you were into me
Nobody'd ever be good enough for his little girl
Had a fast car and a hard head
Didn't give a damn what he said
No cold stare, no cussin', nobody, no nothin'
Was gonna keep me from lovin' you
Looks like your daddy was the easy part
How could we have known how hard it'd be
Just tryin' to stay in love, I thought I knew tough
We did some growin' up, watched some friends give up
Life's thrown it all at us, but here we stand
Got a long road, mountains up ahead
Don't give a damn what the world says
I'm gonna do what I was born to do
No turnin', no runnin', nobody, no nothin'
Is gonna keep me from lovin' you
Got a long road, mountains up ahead
Don't give a damn what the world says
I'm gonna do what I was born to do
No turnin', no runnin', nobody, no nothin'
Is gonna keep me from lovin' you
Keep me from lovin' you, baby
