Bettye LaVette - Nearer to You

I'm in Love

Now, I'm the kind of girl who likes a man around
I want him by my side where he can always be found, yeah
He's the kind of man who likes to run around
And so you're wondering why I just don't go and put it down
You see, I'm in love, I'm in love

And did you ever sit at home alone at night?
A television screen, that won't let you and me inside
You wonder where on earth your man has gone tonight
And pray that everything is gonna stay alright

I guess I'm in love, oh yeah
Keep telling myself that it's home, I got to be a fool and drag this thing on
Call it a shame, and I just craze
Call me a hopeless case, but I'm in love, I'm in love
Oh, oh yeah, I tell you, I'm in love, I'm in love, ooh-oh

Now I don't know just what the future holds for me
Don't know what I got about the way it ought to be
It makes no difference whether he or not agree
The only thing that matters is that he stay right here with me

I tell you I'm in love, I'm in love, ooh-oh
Oh, oh baby, I tell you I'm in love
I got to be a fool to try to sing on
I just gotta keep holding on
'Cause I'm in love, I'm in love
I tell you I'm a fool, but I'm in love, ooh-oh
Ooh
