Keep On Lovin You

Reo Speedwagon Keep On Lovin You Lyrics
1.Take It On The Run

Lyrics:Gary Richrath
Music:Gary Richrath

Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from another you been messin' around
They say you got a boy friend
You're out late every weekend
They're talkin' about you and it's bringin' me down
But I know the neighborhood
And talk is cheap when the story is good
And the tales grow taller on down the line
But I'm telling you, babe
That I don't think it's true, babe
And even if it is keep this in mind

{Refrain}

You take it on the run baby
If that's the way you want it baby
Then I don't want you around
I don't believe it
Not for a minute
You're under the gun so you take it on the run

You're thinking up your white lies
You're putting on your bedroom eyes
You say you're coming home but you won't say when
But I can feel it coming
If you leave tonight keep running
And you need never look back again

{Refrain x 3}

Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from another you been messin' around


2.Keep The Fire Burnin'

Lyrics:Kevin Cronin
Music:Kevin Cronin

Keep the fire burnin'
Let it keep us warm
The world will keep on turnin'
Let it turn you on
Let us not stop learnin'
We can help one another be strong
Let us never lose our yearnin'
To keep the fire burnin' all night long
You've been changing so much
I'm not sure your in touch with what's real
You just come and you go
Never letting me know how you feel
And I'm livin here in doubt
There's so much to talk about
I know that we can work it out

Chorus

We've been through this enough
It gets rough but there's nowhere to run
This is where we belong
We are strong, we can never give up
If we wanted to we could
But we've always understood
To keep lookin' for the good


3.Wheels Are Turnin'

Lyrics:Kevin Cronin
Music:Kevin Cronin

I've been sittin' back quietly,
Watchin' as my spirit fades.
As all of my attempts to do rightly
Get treated like some kind of terrorist raids.
Maybe I ask too much from you
Well I ain't gettin' too much in return.
I'm doin' my best to love you baby,
But the wheels are beginning to turn.

When you're cut down to the bone.
You bleed but it heals.
You hurt still you must carry on.

'Cus the wheels are turnin' -- The feeling's burnin'
The thrill's returnin'
My soul is yearnin' -- my heart is churnin'
the wheels are turnin' again.

Maybe I'm actin' irrational
Hope I don't hurt your heart
This whole problem is only geographical
I just need some kind of new start.

And if I can't get inspired 'round here,
I'm going out to the world and learn.
There's action in my soul tonight.
I feel the wheels are beginning to turn.

When you're cut down to the bone.
You bleed but it heals.
You hurt still you must carry on.

'Cus the wheels are turnin' -- The feeling's burnin'
The thrill's returnin'
My soul is yearnin' -- my heart is churnin'
the wheels are turnin' again.

I remember the last time I got on one of these rolls.
I learned all about the tolls that it takes.
I get something in my mind -- it begins to unfold
I get out in the cold -- I can't do what I'm told
I get out of control -- I can't hold on to the brakes

When you're cut down to the bone.
You bleed but it heals.
You hurt still you must carry on.

'Cus the wheels are turnin' -- The feeling's burnin'
The thrill's returnin'
My soul is yearnin' -- my heart is churnin'
the wheels are turnin' again.


4.Live Every Moment

Lyrics:Kevin Cronin
Music:Kevin Cronin

Live every moment - love every day
'Cus before you know it your precious time slips away.
Live every moment - love every day
'Cause if you don't you might just throw your love away.
I walked for seven miles this mornin'. Footprints in the sand.
Washed away without a warning when the water hit the land.
But I will walk on 'til I can no longer stand.
I'll take you by the hand and we'll...

Live every moment - love every day
'Cus before you know it your precious time slips away.

There's water in the wind tonight.
There's a chill in the air.
It's coolin' down my skin tonight
Soakin' through your hair.
There's warmth enough within' tonight
for both of us to share.
We can take it anywhere. And we'll...

Live every moment - love every day
'Cus before you know it your precious time slips away.

Sometimes I wish we could take a trip far away.
Leave all this trouble and heartache and pain for another day.
I will search for that place but 'til I find it all I can say
is...

Live every moment - and love every day


5.One Lonely Night

Lyrics:Neal Doughty
Music:Neal Doughty

You and your baby had some words today
Til not another word was left to say
I see that grin boy
Maybe you think you'll win boy
Until the sun goes down and once again boy
One lonely night
One lonely night
That's all it takes to completely break you

They say it's darkest right before the dawn
But oh those darkest hours can be so long
You're feelin' strong boy
Tellin' yourself she's wrong boy
But how much longer can this night go on boy

(Chorus)

Ooh she's such a good find
Have you gone and lost your mind
You should know she's one of a kind


6.Time For Me to Fly

Lyrics:Kevin Cronin
Music:Kevin Cronin

I've been around for you
I've been up and down for you
But I just can't get any relief
I've swallowed my pride for you
I've lived and lied for you
But you still make me feel like a thief
You got me stealin' your love away
'Cause you never give it
Peeling the years away
And we can't relive it
Oh I make you live
And you make cry
I believe it's time for me to fly

You said we'd work it out
You said that you had no doubt
That deep down we were really in love
Oh, but I'm tired of holding on
To a feeling I know is gone
I do believe that I've had enough

I've had enough of the falseness
Of a worn out relation
Enough of the jealousy
And the intoleration
Oh I make you live
And you make me cry
I believe it's time for me to fly

{Refrain} Time for me to fly
Oh, I've got to set myself free
Time for me to fly
And that's just how it's got to be
I know it hurts to say goodbye
But it's time for me to fly

Oh, don't you know it's...
{Refrain}

It's time for me to fly
{Repeat to end}


7.Keep On Loving You

Lyrics:Kevin Cronin
Music:Kevin Cronin

You should've seen by the look in my eyes, baby
There was somethin missin
You should've known by the tone of my voice, maybe
But you didn't listen
You played dead
But you never bled
Instead you lay still in the grass
All coiled up and hissin
And though I know all about those men
Still I don't remember
Cause it was us baby, way before then
And we're still together
And I meant, every word I said
When I said that I love you I meant
That I love you forever

And I'm gonna keep on lovin you
Cause it's the only thing I wanna do
I don't wanna sleep
I just wanna keep on lovin you

(solo)

And I meant every word I said
When I said that I love you I meant
That I love you forever

(chorus)


8.Tough Guys(Live)

Lyrics:Kevin Cronin
Music:Kevin Cronin

She doesn't like the tough guys.
They think that they can do anything they please.
But they're gonna get a surprise,
When she brings them to their knees.
'Cus she doesn't like the rough guys.
They act like they can have any girl they choose.
They've got tricks, but my baby got wise,
So in case you haven't heard the news,

She doesn't like the tough guys.
She doesn't like the rough guys.
So find some one you own size,
'Cus she's not afraid of you.

She doesn't like the tough guys.
She thinks that they've got brains all where they sit.
They think they're full of fire,
She thinks they're full of shit.

She doesn't like the tough guys.
She says she's heard enough lies.
She's gonna call your bluff, guys.
And you better believe it's true.

She don't like you.


9.Golden Country(Live)

Lyrics:Gary Richrath
Music:Gary Richrath

Golden country your face is so red
With all of your money your poor can be fed
You strut around and you flirt with disaster
Never really carin' just what comes after
Well your blacks are dyin' but your back is still turned
And your freaks are cryin' but your back is still turned
You better stop your hidin or your country will burn
The time has come for you my friend
To all this ugliness we must put an end
Before we leave we must make a stand
Mortgage people you crawl to your homes
Your security lies in your bed of white foam
You act concerned but then why turn away
When a lady was raped on your doorstep today
Well your blacks are cryin' but your back is still turned
And your freaks are dyin' but your back is still turned
You better stop your hidin or your country will burn
The time has come for you my friend
To all this ugliness we must put an end
Before we leave we must make a stand, oh yeah......

(solo)

Golden country your face is so red
With all of your money your poor can be fed
You strut around and you flirt with disaster
Never really carin' just what comes after
Well your blacks are dyin' but your back is still turned
And your freaks are cryin' but your back is still turned
You better stop your hidin or your country will burn
The time has come for you my friend
To all this ugliness we must put an end
Before we leave we must make a stand

(repeat)


10.Ridin The Storm Out(Live)

Lyrics:Gary Richrath
Music:Gary Richrath

Ridin' the storm out, waitin' for the thaw out
On a full moon night in the Rocky Mountain winter.
My wine bottle's low, watching for the snow
I've been thinking lately of what I'm missing in the city.
And I'm not missing a thing
Watchin' the full moon crossing the range
Ridin' the storm out
Ridin' the storm out.

My lady's beside me, she's there to guide me.
She says that alone we've finally found home.
The wind outside is frightening,
but it's kinder than the lightning life in the city.
It's a hard life to live but it gives back what you give.

(chorus)

Whoa, yes I am

(solo)

Ridin the storm out, I'm waitin for the fallout
On a full moon night in the Rocky Mountain winter, oh yeah
Wine bottles low, I'm watchin for the snow
And thinkin about what I've been missin in the city

And I'm not missin a thing
Watchin the full moon crossin the range
Ridin the storm out, ridin the storm out
Ridin the storm out
Ridin, ridin, ridin the storm out


11.Only the Strong Survive

Lyrics:Gary Richrath
Music:Gary Richrath

You may not know this but you are everything you've ever needed.
Heaven with a touch of New York. Silver with a touch of gold.
And I can see where you're goin', but I don't really know the
way.
It's got too many changes, too much rearranging,
Too many ways to go astray.
So if you wanna go, let me go along
I never walked that road alone
I heard it was hard
I heard it was long
But we'll come back alive
'Cause only the strong survive

You walk on a wire, make a game of desire, pitchin' pennies down
a wishing well.
You're leading the blind through there high and low times, but
baby can you lead yourself?
So calm down, honey, forget about the money. If you need me I'll
always be there.
Go ride your high horse alone of course
'Cause if you need me I'll always care


12.Roll With the Changes

Lyrics:Kevin Cronin
Music:Kevin Cronin

As soon as you are able
Woman I am willing
To make the break that we
Are on the brink of
My cup is on the table
Our love is spilling
Waiting here for you to
Take and drink of
So if you're tired of the
Same old story
Turn some pages
I'll be here when you are ready
To roll with the changes

I knew it had to happen
Felt the tables turnin'
Got me through my darkest hour
I heard the thunder clappin'
Felt the desert burnin'
Until you poured on me
Like a sweet sunshower

So if you're tired of the
Same old story
Turn some pages
I'll be here when you are ready
To roll with the changes

Roll with the changes


13.I Do'Wanna Know

Lyrics:Kevin Cronin
Music:Kevin Cronin

You have said as much as you can say
Your heart is just about to overflow
Must be something more I can do
Some new plateau
I'm listening to you
Dying to know
Everything that your feeling
Every change you undergo
Just don't tell me that you love me
Because I do' wanna know
I do' wanna know how much you love me
I do' wanna know how much you care
I do' wanna, I do' wanna, I do' wanna know
I do' wanna do what I'm supposed to
I do' wanna wear what I'm supposed to wear
I do' wanna, I do' wanna, I do' wanna know

You are gonna do what you must do
You are gonna go where you want to go
You are gonna hear what you hear
Fear what you fear
Don't say a word
Don't let it show
You will be what you will be
You will reap everything you sow
Just don't tell me that you love me
Because I do' wanna know


14.Don't Let Him Go

Lyrics:Kevin Cronin
Music:Kevin Cronin

So you figure that you've got him all figured out
He's a sweet talkin stud
Who can melt a girl's heart with his pout
He's the kind of lover that the ladies dream about
He's got plenty of cash
He's got plenty of friends
He drives women wild
Then he drives off in a mercedes-benz
He's got a long wick with a flame at both ends
He's hot

But don't let him go
Just give him a chance to grow
Take it easy, take it slow
And don't let him go

He makes you so angry
He makes you so sore
The weight may be worth it
But how can you wait anymore
When you're wonderin what you're waitin' for
Baby I don't know

But don't let him go
He just needs a chance to grow
Take it easy, take it slow
And don't let him go
Don't let him go

(solo)


15.The Key

Lyrics:Kevin Cronin
Music:Kevin Cronin

I couldn't fall asleep all last night my mind was racin'
I left so much behind to find the dream that I was chasin'
And now I have a need to take a look at what is real
I need to learn to live and love and breathe and touch and feel
Chorus

But all I really know is what I see
And everybody sees it differently
I wish someone would open up my heart and look inside of me
But I'm the only one who holds the key

Your body aglow as if to show you peacefully dreamin'
So only you could know that deep inside somebody was screamin'
And callin' out to anyone who could help you through the night
And hopin' that someone would come along to make it right

But all you really know is what you see
And everybody sees it differently
I wish someone could open up your soul and set the demon free
But your the only one who holds the key


16.Sweet Time

Lyrics:Kevin Cronin
Music:Kevin Cronin

When I awaken, feelin' no pain
Visibly shaken, waitin' to touch you again
My temperature's risin, but I'm fallin' a bit behind
And that ain't so surprising, were gonna take our own sweet time
Chorus

Baby we can take our own sweet time
And spend it when we want to 'cus it's yours and mine
Let our love come easy and we find
We can make it and we'll take our own sweet time

I know when I hold you, it's a feelin' I can't explain
But I never told you, I couldn't take it again
But now I'm ready, I am ready to make you mine
So I'm holdin steady, and we're gonna take our own sweet time

Chorus


17.Can't Fight This Feeling

Lyrics:Kevin Cronin
Music:Kevin Cronin

I can't fight this feeling any longer
And yet I'm still afraid to let it flow
What started out as friendship, has grown stronger
I only wish I had the strength to let it show
I tell myself that I can't hold out forever
I said there is no reason for my fear
Cause I feel so secure when we're together
You give my life direction
You make everything so clear

And even as I wander
I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the window
On a cold, dark winter's night
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might

And I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars, forever

Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crushing through your door
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore

My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you
I've been running round in circles in my mind
And it always seems that I'm following you, girl
Cause you take me to the places that alone I'd never find

And even as I wander I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the window on a cold, dark winter's night
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might

And I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars, forever

Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crushing through your door
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore.
