John Michael Montgomery Album

Alarm clock rang 'bout a quarter 'till eight
Before I even got up, I was runnin' late
Crashed through the door about half past ten
Boss man waitin' when I walked in
I said...

Love made me do it
Love made me do it
Can't get enough of that woman of mine
Boss said I blew it, but love made me do it

The boys were going fishing at the Cherokee River
Said I'd meet them there, but I couldn't deliver
She was drowning me in a river of love
We were in deep 'till the sun came up

Love made me do it
Love made me do it
Can't get enough of that woman of mine
The boys said I blew it, but love made me do it

I don't feel bad 'cause I'm not to blame
I've got a heart for her that can't be tamed
A once track mind on a runaway rail
I can't help it I'm under her spell

Love made me do it
Love made me do it
Can't get enough of that woman of mine
They all said I blew it, but love made me do it

I said love made me do it
Can't get enough of that woman of mine
They all said I blew it, but love made me do it
Love made me do it
Love sweet love

Tore out her page from my little black book
Took out her picture, gave it one last look
Hung a big sign out on the door
Saying "Love don't live around here no more"

Packed up what was left of my pride
Topped up the tank for the long hard ride
Seventeen miles out of Loneliville
Yonder came my darlin' in a "Coupe de Ville"

So long heartache - adios
Sorrow see ya later time to hit the road
Goodbye pain and misery
Hello L-O-V-E

Well I spun around then I hit the gas
Hot on the tail of that Cadillac
Said a little prayer, held my breath
Sure enough the green light turned to red

So long heartache - adios
Sorrow see ya later time to hit the road
Goodbye pain and misery
Hello L-O-V-E

She looked at me - I looked at her
A few days later in a little brown church
Made a sweet deal with the justice of the peace
Forty-five dollars for a license and a ring
(Forty-five dollars for a license and a ring)

So long heartache - adios
Sorrow see ya later time to hit the road
Goodbye pain and misery
Hello L-O
Hello L-O
Hello L-O-V-E

I get up and battle the day
Things don't always go my way
It might rain but that's okay
I get to come home to you
Sometimes life may get me down
And I get tired of getting kicked around
I feel lost in this maddening crowd
But I get to come home to you

You are my best friend
And you are where my heart is
And I know at the day's end
I get to come home to you

Hanging out in our old sweatshirts
You let me complain about a hard day's work
I don't know what I did to deserve
To get to come home to you

You are my best friend
And you are where my heart is
And I know at the day's end
I get to come home to you

You are my best friend
And you are where my heart is
And I know at the day's end
I get to come home to you

Yes I get to come home to you
Oh I love coming home to you

Long after your touch has faded from my body
And the scent of your sweet perfume is gone
Long after your kiss has faded from my lips
Your love lingers on

It's still in the air, it's everywhere
It never disappears
It's surrounding me, like a melody
Reminding me you were here

Long after the glow has faded from the moonlight
And the stars have given way to greet the dawn
Long after the night has faded to sunlight
Your love lingers on

It's still in the air, it's everywhere
It never disappears
It's surrounding me, like a melody
Reminding me you were here

Long after you whisper has faded from my ears
And the curtains are no longer drawn
Long after the passion fades into memories
Your love lingers on

It's still in the air, it's everywhere
It never disappears
It's surrounding me, like a melody
Reminding me you were here

Your love lingers on
Your love lingers on

You're not just someone that I
Think about from time to time
Girl you're on my mind a lot, nonstop
You're not just a picture on my wall
Not just womeone that I call
Right before I fall asleep, baby

You are the song that's playin' in my head
The best book I ever read
And all the passion that exists in every kiss
You are the little whisper in my ear
That says the things I love to hear
It's obvious who's in my heart
You are

Your'e more than just someone I see
When I need some company
I want you with me a lot, nonstop
You're more than words could ever say
More than a poet could convey
But I'll try anyway just so, you'll know

You are the song that's playin' in my head
The best book I ever read
And all the passion that exists in every kiss
You are the little whisper in my ear
That says the things I love to hear
It's obvious who's in my heart
You are

You are the song that's playin' in my head
The best book I ever read
And all the passion that exists in every kiss
You are the little whisper in my ear
That says the things I love to hear
It's obvious who's in my heart
You are

Oh girl, you are

I've been blown away, I've been swept off my feet
Lost at love because I wasn't ready
So it's safe to say, I've got just what I need
Fallin' for you was so slow and steady

Love is sinkin' in, bit by bit
Drop by drop, please don't stop
'Til my heart is overflowing
Can't help, thinkin' this, is the one
And from the way it's goin'
This time it's deeper than it's ever been
'Cause love is sinkin' in

When two people care, and they just take their time
Love can be a while lot more than magic
When you're in my arms, and you whisper you're mine
I can't believe just how good I have it

Love is sinkin' in, bit by bit
Drop by drop, please don't stop
'Til my heart is overflowing
Can't help, thinkin' this, is the one
And from the way it's goin'
This time it's deeper than it's ever been
'Cause love is sinkin' in

Love is sinkin' in, bit by bit
Drop by drop, please don't stop
'Til my heart is overflowing
Can't help, thinkin' this, is the one
And from the way it's goin'
This time it's deeper than it's ever been
'Cause love is sinkin' in
Love is sinkin' in

Another guy in line on Highway Nine in a rush
Clocking in and out again I guess I'm just
An average man but these calloused hands
Are holding an amazing love

I have seen treasured dreams turn to dust
That fade away like yesterday that I'll never touch
But fortune's been kind 'cause these arms of mine
Are holding an amazing love

So just hold me closer
And tell me you love me
And that everything is alright
Oh the weight of the world
Rolls off my shoulders
Whenever I look in your eyes

Just another guy pulling in the drive in a rush
Standing at the door's what he's living for and needs so much
Just an average man but these calloused hands
Are holding an amazing love

I'm just an average man but these calloused hands
Are holding an amazing love

I was stone cold convinced
You were holding me down
I could chase my wildest dreams
With you not around
But I was crazy to think
That I could hold my own
'Cause I started to crumble
The minute you were gone

When your arms were around
They held my world together
They kept me safe and sound
Right through the roughest weather
Guess I just lost touch
With the man in me you found
I was strong as I could be
When your arms were around

I've done everything
I said that I would
But you know somehow the good life
Don't feel like it should
So this ladder that I've climbed
I'd gladly back down
If I could just have one night
When your arms were around

When your arms were around
They held my world together
They kept me safe and sound
Right through the roughest weather
Guess I just lost touch
With the man in me you found
I was strong as I could be
When your arms were around

I was strong as I could be
When your arms were around

Dont' need a vacation to get work off our minds
Me and my baby we beg for overtime
We'd stay on the clock 'round the clock if we could
Love is our business and business is good

Love is our business and business is booming
It don't seem like work 'cause we love what we're doing
Satisfaction guaranteed and that's understanding
Love is our business and business is good

We keep climbing higher on the ladder of success
Who'd want to retire with benefits like this
Don't even close on Christmas even though we know we should
Love is our business and business is good

Love is our business and business is booming
It don't seem like work 'cause we love what we're doing
Satisfaction guaranteed and that's understanding
Love is our business and business is good

Yeah, love is our business and business is booming
It don't seem like work 'cause we love what we're doing
Satisfaction guaranteed and that's understanding
Love is our business and business is good

Satisfaction guaranteed and that's understanding
Love is our business and business is good

Catching Babe Ruth, catching Roger Maris
The way you caught my eye in Parris...Tennessee

Selling seduction, well I'm seduced
We sell a war then we sell a truce
It's the truth

Baby just close your eyes
Nothin' catches Jesus by surprise

Confusing love for heated passion
Got what I wanted but no satisfaction

Ain't it funny how things can change
We're amazed how they stay the same
Oh, it's the same

Baby just close your eyes
Nothin' catches Jesus by surprise

You look so pretty when you smile
I haven't seen that for a while

Talk about trouble we've had our share
It's a wonder we're still here

I don't know why I make you cry
It's the part of me I don't like at all

Baby just close your eyes
Nothin' catches Jesus by surprise

Baby just close your eyes
Nothin' catches Jesus by surprise
