It's Not Over
Lonnie Gordon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Remember the good times
Don't you want some more
It's not a perfect love but I'll defend it
'Cause I believe that's what God intended
We got love too good to throw away
It's not over, I don't want to be free
[Chorus]
What has been joined by God, by God
Let no man put asunder
Oh, don't throw it away
Don't throw it away
I can't hear those words spoken, understood
Making bonds through love
The times are better good
I'm convinced that what is meant to be will be
Even the stars declare that you belong to me
We got love too good to throw away
It's not over between you and me
It's not over, I don't want to be free
[Chorus]
[Repeat: x2]
It's not over between you and me
It's not over, I don't want to be free
{It's not over}
Said I need you and I want you
I got to have you every day in my doggone life
{It's not over}
It's not over, no no no
{It's not over}
{It's not over}
{It's not over}
Said I need you and I want you
I got to have you every day in my doggone life
{It's not over}
It's not over, no no no
{It's not over}
{It's not over}
Baby baby baby, oh
See one thing I know about me and you
That no matter what we go through baby
I know you will be coming back someday
Because I know deep inside you feel the same
Because it's not over
It's not over no no, between you and me
It's not over
Say ooh baby, ooh baby
Come on y'all, come on y'all
You know what I'm saying
Because it's not over
It's not over no no, between you and me
Baby baby baby
It's not over
