microphone. Her favorite pastime instantly became singing along with country tunes by artists like Barbara Mandrell and Loretta Lynn. She preferably sang in front of an audience, with her older brothers' help.
Over the next few years, she gained experience singing at her family's church. At age 12, she entered a local talent contest and won. With a newfound confidence, she entered more contests, winning over and over. While still in her teens, she put together a band of her own called TC Country. The group appeared at fairs, weddings, and clubs.
She finished high school and took vocational training to be a secretary. In 1991, she moved to Nashville with her parents. In 1996 she married, but divorced after a few years. In 1998, she was introduced to Shane Decker after one of her performances. Decker worked for Warner-Chappell Music as a songwriter. He offered to help her get a demo ready. He also helped her land a job writing songs at Warner-Chappell. She signed to Sony Music Nashville, which released her first single, the very traditional "If You Can," in 2000. After a second single stalled, "Angels in Waiting" cracked the Top 10; Cochran co-wrote the song about her two brothers, who had died of cystic fibrosis. Her follow-up album included the single "Life Happened," but didn't sell well and she parted ways with the label shortly afterwards.
Love Won't Let Me
Tammy Cochran Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is play it cool.
In front of you, an' I just might fool you for a minute or two.
But what I can't hide,
Is everything I feel inside.
'Cause the truth is, baby, my heart starts racing when I'm next to you.
And love won't let me.
Go insane when we get a little closer now.
I'd be inclined to chicken out,
But love won't let me.
Love has a funny way of getting you into,
Something that scares you but you can't resist.
Or let you leave without a kiss,
But love won't let me.
So we took that step;
Now I'm over my head.
Now I'm circling earth an' I'm pretty sure I won't be comin' down for a while.
But the trouble is,
Ever since that little kiss,
I don't care how late it gets, don't want to let you outta these arms of mine.
'Cause love won't let me.
And I go crazy when you come around,
Go insane when we get a little closer now.
I'd be inclined to chicken out,
But love won't let me.
Love has a funny way of getting you into,
Something that scares you but you can't resist.
Or let you leave without a kiss,
But love won't let me.
Now I only want to spend my time,
Holdin' you tight every night.
Baby, every time I think about love,
I've loved you from the day we met,
The way you get me,
I'm so glad that love wouldn't let me.
And I go crazy when you come around,
Go insane when we get a little closer now.
I'd be inclined to chicken out,
But love won't let me.
Love has a funny way of getting you into,
Something that scares you but you can't resist.
Or let you leave without a kiss,
But love won't let me.
No no.
(Love won't let me.)

What I should do,
I know what the right thing to do is,
Is play it cool.
I should act calm and collected,
In front of you, an' I just might fool you for a minute or two.
I might be able to trick you temporarily,
But what I can't hide,
However, I can't conceal,
Is everything I feel inside.
All of the emotions that I'm experiencing internally,
'Cause the truth is, baby, my heart starts racing when I'm next to you.
Because the reality is, my heart beats faster when I'm close to you,
And love won't let me.
My love prevents me from hiding my true feelings.
An' I go crazy when you come around,
I become overwhelmed with excitement when you're nearby,
Go insane when we get a little closer now.
I lose control of myself when we become more intimate,

Ever since that little kiss,
Ever since we shared that small kiss,

I don't mind how late it is, I just want to keep holding you tight in my arms,
'Cause love won't let me.
My love won't allow me to let you go.

Holdin' you tight every night.
Holding you tightly every night,
Baby, every time I think about love,
Whenever I think about love,
I've loved you from the day we met,
I have loved you since the day we met,
The way you get me,
The way you make me feel,
I'm so glad that love wouldn't let me.
I'm grateful that my love for you prevented me from backing out.
No no.
No no (repeating the song's title).
