I Can't Keep You In Love With Me (I. Louvin/C.Louvin)


It must have been a awfull hurt that someone did to you
That buildt a wall around your heart that I can't break through
I can't erase I can't replace the bitterness with sweet
No I can't find my way behind your wall of memory
If you want me why can't I keep you in love with me
You say your mine but I'm not blind I know you wanna be
And when your holding me no sweeter love could ever be
But when I'm gone somehow I can't keep you in love with me

The worst mistake that you could make the surest way to lose
Would be to listen and believe the lies they tell to you
There is a way you can repay the one who let you down
Let me repair your broken heart don't leave it on the ground
If you want me why can't I keep you in love with me
You say your mine and I'm not blind I know you wanna be
And when your holding me no sweeter love could ever be
But when I'm gone somehow I can't keep you in love with me
But when I'm gone somehow I can't keep you in love with me
