Stop Doggin' Me Around
Klique Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hard on the side of my head
I just learned to stay out of his way
But then street fights, blue lights, long nights
With the world sittin' on my chest
It just showed me how much I can take
Hard times, bad luck
Sometimes life sucks
It ain't nothing but another day
But only God knows where I'd be
If you ever stop lovin' me
The bank man, the bossman, the lawman
All tryin' to get their hands on me
And I ain't even done a damn thing wrong
I been waylaid, freight trained, short changed
By bigger and badder men
And all I got to say is bring it on
Hard rain, rough roads
So my life goes
That's alright, I'm okay
It ain't nothing but another day
But only God knows where I'd be
If you ever stop lovin' me
I need you, gotta have you
In my life by my side everyday I'm alive
Every night that I'm breathin', I'm needin'
You
That's alright, I'm okay
It ain't nothing but another day
But only God knows where I'd be
If you ever stop lovin' me
It ain't nothing but another day
But only God knows where I'd be
If you ever stop lovin' me
If you ever stop lovin' me
You see [Incomprehensible]
If I came to my knees
Yeah, yeah
