Nobody else can make me feel things are right
When I know they're wrong, nobody sings a love song quite like you.

Quotes edit

  • I see the town
    Where we were born,
    I see the place
    We were raised,
    I see all the things you wanted
    That I never gave.
    I see sadness,
    I see sorrow,
    I see pain in your face,
    But I just can't see
    A stranger in my place.
  • I can see now
    Where you might grow tired of dreams
    That don't come true,
    I can see where I have fallen short
    Of the things I promised you.
    I can see now through my tear filled eyes no love on your face,
    I must get used to seein' strangers in my place.
    • "A Stranger in My Place" (co-written with Kin Vassy), on Something's Burning (1970)
  • You touched my soul with your beautiful song
    You even had me singin' along right with you, you said
    "I need you", then you changed the words and added harmony
    Then you sang the song you had written for me to someone new

    Oh, but nobody sings a love song quite like you do
    Oh, and nobody else can make me sing along
    Nobody else can make me feel things are right
    When I know they're wrong,
    Nobody sings a love song quite like you.
  • Sing your song sweet music man, I believe in you.

  • Right when a man's, doin all that he planned
    And he thinks he's got just what he needs
    Life will deliver, a shot that will shiver him
    Drivin him down to his knees
    Make him start giving, living, livin' again.

    Well it's your mind, that tricks you in believin' everytime
    Love will turn you around, turn you around
    Well it's your heart, that talks you into stayin' where you are
    Love will turn you around, turn you around.
  • When you're not here by my side
    There is nothing in this world for me.
    I guess I'm crazy
    Crazy for you can't you see.
  • A smart man isn't necessarily one who knows all the answers, but knows where to find them.
