Can't Get Away
Carol Williams Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I lived my life without, one to love
Before you came along
You know the time to spend with me
'Cause you know I need it desperately

You gave me life
You gave me love
To fulfill my every need
I was lost, but now I'm fine
Never sent you came around

Can't get away, can't get away
Just can't get away, from loving you
Can't get away, can't get away from needing you

Sometimes it seems like it's a dream
And you hold me, close to you
Although I know that it's for real
By the way you make me feel

The things you do, the things you say
That always make me come the way




You have the time, that turns me on
And keep smile of growing strong
