I've Got A Yearning

(Merle Haggard)



I've got a yearning to hold you tight

At burning desire I live with day and night

Everything I lose keeps on hanging on

This feeling isn't leaving and by now it should be gone.



I keep on thinking those thoughts that keep making me want you all the time

I should be trying to find me a way I can drive you from my mind

I know that you wanted to give and I know that you gave all you could

Wish I could accept what is over and done with for good.



But I've got a yearning to hold you tight

At burning desire I live with day and night

Everything I lose keeps on hanging on

This feeling isn't leaving and by now it should be gone.
