Just to Be Loved By You

Charley Pride · Sweet Country [RCA Victor] [1973]

(Ben Peters)



Yes, it's true that I've known others

But I didn't know back then

A man could ever want the way I do

And the life I used to lead

Was before I found the need

Just to be loved by you.



Ever since the day I found you

I have felt deep down inside

I just been marking time my whole life through

And what life there's left to live

Darling, I would gladly give

Just to be loved by you.



I would climb the highest mountain

And swim the deepest sea

Oh, there's nothing in this world I wouldn't do

If it brought you happiness

I'd give all that I possess

Just to be loved by you.



Just to be loved by you...
