Billy Dean Album

Well I knew a man, he was a real go-getter
And what he did best was climb the ladder of success
How far he went was how he measured the worth of his life and who he was
But that's all behind me now because

Loving you it's what I do
It's the one thing I found I can put my heart into
It's who I am, I'm a lucky man living the life I choose
Loving you it's what I do

I do what I can to make an honest living
It's just a job it's not what I am living for
I wanna earn the love you're giving that's all that matters now to me
No matter what I'll always be

Loving you it's what I do
It's the one thing I found I can put my heart into
It's who I am, I'm a lucky man living the life I choose
Loving you it's what I do

Loving you it's what I do

(Max T. Barnes/Tom Shapiro)

How does she know what makes me laugh
Yes and how does she know where to scratch my back
How did she figure me out so easily
I swear that girl's been spyin' on me.

Where did she get those big blue eyes
And how does she know what I like
How could anybody fit me right to a tee
I swear that girl's been spyin' on me.

'Cause she been usin' information I had locked up deep inside
To be the perfect woman I've been lookin' for all my life
Maybe we're two people meant to be.

Now she knows all my inner thoughts
'Cause she got ways of makin' me talk
While she remains a mystery
I swear that girl's been spyin' on me
'Cause she been usin' information I had locked up deep inside
To be the perfect woman I've been lookin' for all my life
Maybe we're two people meant to be...

(Skip Ewing/Doug Stone)

He said baby I love you
And she believed it was true
In the back seat of his Malibu they made love
For the worst and for the best
With their best friends as their guests
And in her mama's wedding dress she said I do.

She did it in the name of love
She did it in the name of love
He was all she was thinking of
She did it in the name of love
Did it in the name of love
It's amazing what a heart's prepared to do
In the name of love.

Forever didn't last too long
A few short months and he was gone
But the love they made was growing strong inside her
She said I can't afford to raise him right
She asked for help but got advice
Couldn't choose to take a life so she had a child.

She did it in the name of love
She did it in the name of love
He was all she was thinking of
She did it in the name of love
Did it in the name of love
It's amazing what a heart's prepared to do
In the name of love.

She drove by his house today
And from a distance watched him play
Never gave herself away and cried
Now the only thing that keeps her sane
Is knowing deep inside...

(Gary Burr)

There's always one more day
Always one more call
Always one more try
To explain it all
If that's what you think
You'd better be keeping score
'Cause sooner or later
You'll be down to your last one more.

There's always one more promise
Always one more word
Always one more excuse
She hasn't heard
So there's really no danger
You've broken her heart before
Well sooner or later
You'll be down to your last one more.

You think your supply
Of second chances
Will never run dry will never run out
You think there'll be time
To men you fences
Isn't that what forgiveness is all about.

There's always one more letter
Always one more kiss
Well brother you better conscious of this
Nothing lasts forever that what a zero's for
And sooner or later you'll be
Down to your last one more...

(Mike Reid/Michael Bourke)

There's a slow moon rising
It's shining on your skin
And the way your body moves me
I know there's no holding back
No holding back.

I wouldn't be a man
If I didn't feel like this
I wouldn't be a man
If a woman like you was anything but resist
I'd have to be from another planet
Where love doesn't exist
I wouldn't be a man
If I didn't feel like this.

I can feel passion flowing
As you fall into my arms
And the secret way you touch me
I know there's no holding back
No holding back.

I wouldn't be a man
If I didn't feel like this
I wouldn't be a man
If a woman like you was anything but resist
I'd have to be from another planet
Where love doesn't exist
I wouldn't be a man
If I didn't feel like this.

Roll with me baby all night long
Soul to soul with me baby all night long.

I'd have to be from another planet
Where love doesn't exist
I wouldn't be a man
If I didn't feel like this...

(Billy Dean/Tim Nichols)

We started out in a double wide
Had to hang out clothes out on the line
We even had your mom and dad co-sign
We used to ride around downtown singing
Money can't buy you love when times are rough
We just kept goin' when the goin' got tough.

Can't shake us cant break us separate us
Cause we've been through it all
We're at our best when our backs against the wall.

It ain't always been a honeymoon
Sometimes it feels like we're dancin' to a different tune
That's when you and me need a little breathin' room
But when we're rockin' don't come knockin'
We want to be left alone all night long
Makin' up till it feels home sweet home.

Can't shake us cant break us separate us
Cause we've been through it all
We're at our best when our backs against the wall.

We start out with a kiss in the hall
And end up holdin' each other tight
With our backs against the wall...

(Billy Dean/Dennis Morgan)

Don't be sad
'Cause what we had was so fine
Before we go let's go back
To where we met the first time
One last trip around the floor
And I'll hold you like I did before
Take my hand and I'll ask our friend in the band.

Play something we can dance to
Play something nice and slow
And maybe while we're waltzing I can change your mind
While the lights are low
Hey mister steel guitar man
Can you make her cry
Play something we can dance to
Before we say goodnight.

If you want
I'll drive you home just once more
Park the car then arm and arm
I'll walk you to your front door
I'll just let that motor run
Leave the windows down just for fun
'Cause you never know what we'll hear on the radio
They might.

Play something we can dance to
Play something nice and slow
And maybe while we're waltzing I can change your mind
While the lights are low
Hey mister steel guitar man
Can you make her cry
Play something we can dance to
Before we say goodnight.

Before she says goodbye...

(Bob Regan/George Teren)

Her memory was a mountain
As tall as it was wide
It cast a cold dark shadow
Across this heart of mine
I tried to rise above it
Might have rolled a stone or two.

The mountain moved
And I could see
A vision of forever standing right in front of me
The earth stood still
And the light broke through
Some miracles only love can do
The mountain moved.

I say you smiling at me
I heard you speak my name
You reached out to hold me
And I let go of yesterday
It's still there in the distance
But it's fading from my view
'Cause last night for the first time.

The mountain moved
And I could see
A vision of forever standing right in front of me
The earth stood still
And the light broke through
Some miracles only love can do
The mountain moved...

(Kosta Bobby Boyd/ Dean Mealer)

You're so good lookin' it ought to be against the law
You got that look in your eyes
Could make a man stumble and fall
You got my attention 'cause honey you got it all
And if you wanna do something about it just lead me on.

Don't threaten me with a good time
I'm feelin' good and you're lookin' so fine
I'll take a chance honey I don't mind
Don't threaten me with a good time.

Come on baby
Go ahead and break my heart
I got a little piece left so go ahead and take your best shot
Let's get started lay it all on the line
And before the night is over girl you are goin' to be mine.

Don't threaten me with a good time
I'm feelin' good and you're lookin' so fine
I'll take a chance honey I don't mind
Don't threaten me with a good time.

Your locomotion could stop a train
The way you move could drive a man insane
I heard every word that's on your mind.

(Pam Rose/Pat Bunch/Mary Ann Kennedy)

If leaving was easy I'd have done it before
When heartache first knocked on that old hurting door
But knowing and doing are two different things
It's like standing in winter and praying for spring.

Where does a heart cross the leaving line
Have we become strangers one too many times
Can I live knowin' you used to be mine
Where does a heart cross the leaving line.

If love was a perfection baby we had it all
But when you climb a mountain there are two sides to fall
I'm coming closer and closer to gone
But I don't want to leave you and find I was wrong.

Where does a heart cross the leaving line
Have we become strangers one too many times
Can I live knowin' you used to be mine
Where does a heart cross the leaving line...
