You Keep On Lovin' Me
Sherrié Austin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I swear you act just like there's nothing to it
And you do it so naturally
And I don't know how you take it
Sometimes I'm not so sure we're gonna make it
But you keep your faith in me
And days that come and go so fast
And times that it takes all we got
To try and make the feeling last
But you keep on lovin' me
You keep on lovin' me
And I know I've hurt you sometimes
Thoughtlessly I call you names and criticize
But you take it all in stride
Oh yeah, still you come around
Though I know there've been times I've let you down
But here you stand by my side
Oh there are nights we lose the touch
And days that come and go so fast
And times that it takes all we got
To try and make the feeling last
But you keep on lovin' me
You keep on lovin' me
