Bonnie Raitt Standin` By The Same Old Love Lyrics

Standin` By The Same Old Love Lyrics

I told you before

You know it may take a little while

I'd like to go there with you but

Runnin' just ain't my style



You want me to stay, well

You got to take it nice and slow

I'll show you the way

Just tell me if you wanna know



I remember the time

When we thought we'd never get enough

Tryin' to make a new love

And makin' it all at once



We wonder how we keep it up

After all these years

You worry 'bout your end, baby

I'll bring up the rear



I love you, baby

Don't you push me up against the wall

I ain't gonna jump every time

You need an overhaul



Maybe it'll take all night

But we'll do it 'til we get it right

And we'll be standin' by the same old love

That made us fall



There's a lot more to love

Than seein' how much love we can make

There's the kindness that makes it

So sweet 'til your little heart could break



And I want you to know

That I'm not just along for the ride

And I won't settle for less than

Everything I've got inside



I love you, baby

Don't you push me up against the wall

I ain't gonna jump every time

You need an overhaul



Maybe it'll take all night

But we'll do it 'til we get it right

And we'll be standin' by the same

Standin' by the same



Well, we'll be standin' by the same old

Oughta be standin' by the same old love

Ooh, standin', standin'



Why aren't ya standin'? Oughta be standin'

Why aren't you just standin'?

Why aren't you just standin'?
