Doobie Brothers Best Of The Doobies Vol.2 Lyrics
1.Dependin' On You

Patrick simmons/michael mcdonald

When i was so low
You were there to lift me up
Well, there's one thing that i know for sure
You're gonna win life's lovin' cup

Darlin', you're always there at my rescue
Dependin' on you
Darlin', you're always there by my side
You're always there by my side
Darlin', you're always there at my rescue

Dependin' on you

And when i get too high
You are there to cool me down
So fine, someone to turn to
Keepin' my feet on the ground

Dependin' on you

Darlin', you're always there at my rescue
Dependin' on you
Darlin', you're always there by my side
You're always there by my side
Darlin', you're always there at my rescue

I just keep dependin' on you
Someone to turn to
Keepin' my feet on the ground
So fine...

Darlin', you're always there at my rescue
Dependin' on you
Darlin', you're always there by my side
You're always there by my side...


2.Echoes Of Love

Patrick simmons / willie mitchell / earl randle

I hear your voice everywhere
It's echoes of love
Making me look back over my shoulder
Echoes of love are started all over

Echoes of love
Keeps on haunting
I'm out of control
Keeps on burning
Echoes of love are out of control
Bringing back love i used to hold

Darlin', since you went away
Think about you every day
So many memories
Got to get the best of me

Recalling the times
I used to hold you
I just wouldn't do
What i was supposed to
I've done things
I'd like to undo
Now darlin' it's you
I'd like to run to

Echoes of love
Keeps on haunting
I'm out of control
Keeps on burning
Echoes of love are out of control
Bringing back love i used to hold

Echoes of love
Echoes of love
Love, echoes of love
Keeps on haunting
Echoes of love, echoes of love
Keeps on burning
Echoes of love


3.Here To Love You

Michael mcdonald

I've heard it said that the weight of the world's problems
Is enough to make the ball fall right through space
That it ain't even worth it to live
With all that's goin' wrong

Well, let me just go down as saying
That i'm glad to be here
Here with all the same pain and laughs everybody knows

Some men think they're born to be king
Maybe that's true
But i think passing love around
Is all we were born to do

Let them build their kingdoms
Let them make the laws for this world to heed
'cause you and i make life worth living
Right here in each other's arms

I'm here to love you, baby
No more loneliness
No more emptiness
I'm here to love you

Let them build their kingdoms
Let them make the laws for this world to heed
'cause you and i make life worth living
Right here in each other's arms

I'm here to love you, baby
No more loneliness
No more emptiness
I'm here to love you...

I'm here to love you

Just let me go on loving you
Don't stop me now while i'm feeling this way...


4.Little Darling(I Need You)

Eddie holland, lamont dozier, and brian holland
It's so hard lovin' you
But i just can't let you go

Little darlin', i love you
Little darlin', i need you
Little darlin', i want you
Little darlin', got to have you

And if it means givin' up my pride
Oh, i'm gonna give it up, give it up
There's always one who loves more than the other
I don't mind, i don't mind
I'm willin' to pay the price
Have your love at any sacrifice

Little darlin', i need you
Little darlin', i love you
Little darlin', i want you
Little darlin', got to have you

Only my pillow knows
How many tears i've cried
Only my heart knows
The awful hurt i feel inside
My life is so lonely
Waitin' for you to love me only
I'm willin', darlin'

I'm willin' to pay the price
Have your love at any sacrifice

Little darlin', i need you
Little darlin', i want you
Little darlin', i love you
Little darlin', i need you
Little darlin', i want you
Little darlin', got to have you

Yeah, there was a time
Way back in your life
When i was the only one, only one
You'd better let this fool back in
Or you will be the lonely one
Darlin', i love you
Little darlin' i need you


5.Minute By Minute

Michael mcdonald/lester abrams

Hey, don't worry, i've been lied to
I've been here many times before
Girl, don't you worry, i know where i stand
I don't need this love, i don't need your hand
I know i could turn, blink, and you'd be gone
Then i must be prepared any time to carry on

But minute by minute by minute by minute
I keep holding on
Oh, minute by minute by minute by minute
I keep holding on

You will stay just to watch me, darlin'
Wilt away on lies from you
Can't stop the habit of livin' on the run
I take it all for granted like you're the only one
Livin' on my own
Somehow that sounds nice
You think i'm your fool
Well, you may just be right

'cause minute by minute by minute by minute
I keep holding on
Oh, minute by minute by minute by minute
I keep holding on

Call my name and i'll be gone
You'll reach out and i won't be there
Just my luck you'll realize
You should spend your life with someone
You could spend your life with someone

Minute by minute by minute by minute
I'll be holding on
Oh, minute by minute by minute by minute
I'll be holding on...


6.One By One

Bobby lakind/michael mcdonald

Where and why i'm destined to go
Right here and now that's all i know
On either side future or past
Neither is real both fade so fast

So one by one we're given these moments to live just as one by
one they're taken away
So one by one i'm taking each day in my stride
And one by one the memories stay

Good times are still there to find
When times are their worst
Keep your eyes open wide
'cause through it all are moments that shine
And moments that glow
I'm gonna be there for mine

So one by one we're given these moments to live just as one by
one they're taken away
So one by one i'm taking each day in my stride
And one by one the memories stay

Even when you're close to a dream
It can still let you down
You'll always have a chance to give up
So why do it now

So one by one we're given these moments to live just as one by
one they're taken away
So one by one i'm taking each day in my stride
And one by one the memories stay


7.One Step Closer

Keith knudsen/john mcfee/carlene carter

Baby, there's a chance you ought to take
Chance of a mistake you gotta make
Maybe i'm mistaken too
To take my chance with you
I need you like a shadow needs a light
I'll follow you like morning follows night
When nothin's left ahead of you
I'll be right behind you
Shadows disappear at night
We both know it's a shame if you should lose one
Why is it so hard to find
Tell me that you're right there too

One step baby
Two steps maybe
One step closer
I'll be next to you

Baby, it's a secret i can't keep
Trouble comes and suddenly you're weak
I don't believe you got the strength
To fight this kind of love
I know it's risky now and then
What with all the what ifs and the whens
Who is there to say we're wrong - to tell us it can't be
Come on, baby, please don't go
I'm no heart of stone and you know
Why is it so hard to do
Tell me that you're right there too, baby

Baby, can't you see we're runnin' late
Can't you see we ain't got time to wait
Might be that you're scared of me
Of something you might feel
Hold on to me, baby, hold on tight
I can take us through the night all right
Maybe i will stay here too
Take my chance with you

Shadows disappear at night
We both know it's a shame if you should lose one
Why is it so hard to find
Tell me that you're right there too

One step baby
Two steps maybe
One step closer


8.Real Love

Michael mcdonald/patrick henderson

Darlin', i know
I'm just another head on your pillow
If only just tonight, girl
Let me hear you lie just a little
Tell me i'm the only man
That you ever really loved
Honey take me back
Deep in my memory
A time when it was all very right
So very nice

Here, darlin', stands another bandit wantin' you
In and out your life, they come and they go
Your days and nights like a wheel that turns
Grindin' down a secret part of you
Deep inside your heart
That nobody knows

When you say comfort me
To anyone who approaches
Chalkin' up the hurt
We live and we learn
Well we've both lived long enough to know
We'd trade it all right now
For just one minute of real love


9.What A Fool Believes

Michael mcdonald/kenny loggins

He came from somewhere back in her long ago
The sentimental fool don't see
Tryin' hard to recreate
What had yet to be created once in her life

She musters a smile
For his nostalgic tale
Never coming near what he wanted to say
Only to realize
It never really was

She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice
As he rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
He's watching her go

But what a fool believes he sees
No wise man has the power to reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
And nothing at all keeps sending him...

Somewhere back in her long ago
Where he can still believe there's a place in her life
Someday, somewhere, she will return

She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice
As he rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
He's watching her go

But what a fool believes he sees
No wise man has the power to reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
There's nothing at all
But what a fool believes he sees...


10.You Belong To Me

Michael mcdonald/carly simon

Why'd you tell me this
While you look for my reaction
What do you need to know
Don't you know i'll always be the one
You don't have to prove to me you're beautiful to strangers
I've got lovin' eyes of my own

You belong to me
In this life
Anyone could tell
Any fool can see who you need
I know you all too well
You don't have to prove to me you're beautiful to strangers
I've got lovin' eyes and i can tell

You belong to me
Tell him you were foolin'
You belong to me
You belong to me
Tell him he's a stranger
You belong to me
