LOVE GOT IN MY WAY

Words & Music by
Carol Stone and Mickey McBride

Verse 1

YOU TOLD ME FROM THE START, NOT TO PLAY FOR KEEPS,

YOU WANTED THE FIRE BUT NONE OF THE HEAT,

I KNEW ALL YOUR RULES BUT I CHOSE TO PLAY,

EVERYTHING WAS CLEAR 'TIL LOVE GOT IN MY WAY,

Verse 2

I GET OUT OF YOUR BED, WIPE THE TEARS FROM MY EYES,

MY HEART'S ALL IN KNOTS, YET WE HAVE NO TIES,

I DON'T WANT TO GO BUT I KNOW I CAN'T STAY,

EVERYTHING WAS FINE 'TIL LOVE GOT IN MY WAY,

Bridge

I'M CALLIN' A TAXI, I'M HEADIN' ON HOME,

I KNOW I'M IN LOVE, BUT I'M IN IT ALONE,

I WILL NOT WAKE YOU, I WON'T LET YOU SEE...

HOW MUCH THIS HOPELESS LOVE IS KILLIN' ME,

Verse 3

I SILENTLY DRESS SO YOU WON'T HEAR ME CRY,

YOU'RE SLEEPIN' SO SOUND AS I KISS YOU GOODBYE,

THE RULES SOMETIMES CHANGE IN THE GAMES PEOPLE PLAY,

ALL THE RULES SEEMED FAIR 'TIL LOVE GOT IN MY WAY.
