Keep On Lovin' Me
The Whispers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When times get tough, I want to give it up

I just can't let it go like that

And oh, how long it took to build it up

There must be some reason why we come back


Love, I am alive

The only thing I've ever done that still feels right

Must be sad in my ways

A stubborn kind of fella, he's not everyday



Just keep on lovin' me

Just keep on lovin' me

(Lovin' me)



I dreamed last night that I lost your love

I felt sad because it seemed so real

I don't climb to bed, I had to call you up

And make sure you notice what I feel



How many times, I took for granted

But you know our love was sound

Stay by my side, let nothing feel when

I put my feet on solid ground



So just keep on lovin' me

Just keep on lovin' me

(Lovin' me)



Hey Scottie

Yeah

What does that mean?

That means I'll never give up the love that's good to me



Keep on lovin' me

Just keep on lovin' me

(Lovin' me)



(Lovin' me)

Just keep on lovin' me



Hey Scottie

Yeah

What does that mean?

That means it's just for my baby to know



Hey baby

Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on



Just keep on keepin' on

Just keep on doin' it, baby

Just keep on keepin' on

Just keep on doin' it, baby



Just keep on keepin' on

Just keep on doin' it, baby

Just keep on keepin' on



Hey Scottie

Yeah

What does that mean?

That means I'll never give up the love that's good to me



Keep on lovin' me

Just keep on lovin' me

Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on



Just keep on keepin' on

Just keep on doin' it, baby

Just keep on keepin' on

Just keep on doin' it, baby



Just keep on keepin' on

Just keep on doin' it, baby

Just keep on keepin' on

Just keep on doin' it, baby



Just keep on lovin' me



Hey Scottie

Yeah

What does that mean?

That means I'm ready to love my baby with all my heart



Just keep on lovin' me

Just keep on lovin' me





(Lovin' me)

@@josephaudebert7480 I don't think so.
Sorry.
I feel the world's going bad, time after time.
I'm not a pessimistic, I'm realistic.
Gouvernements are manipulating people, violence is raising around the world.
It's a shame because we don't progress.
We have just technology but not freedom.
And now there's this famous f..king Covid !!
I'm going on ?
