Rollo Tomasi
The Sheepdogs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now baby don't be shy
I can think of a million reasons why
Through my head run thoughts of you
And darling you know there's nothing I would rather do
Whoa you know

Giving my love away to you
Is hard for me to do whoa oh
Giving my love away to you
Giving my love away to you

Darling I hope you know it's hard for me to do whoa oh
Giving my love away to you
The things that don't stay the same

Now sit down next to me
There's no place that you ought to be
Too many distractions in a day
I got to figure out just how to say
I hope you know

Giving my love away to you
Is hard for me to do whoa
Giving my love away to you
Giving my love away to you

Well darling I know it's hard for me to do whoa




Giving my love away to you
The things that don't stay the same whoa

Damn what a great song. Jazz, blues, sexy voice and groove. This is too good to be made in the 2000's.
