Emotion Devotion

(Roy Drusky)



To want and need you here with me

And have to do without you (emotion)

To be apart but with you constantly

And never have to doubt you (devotion)

This can't be livin' like livin' should be

It's too hard on you and it's too rough on me.



Emotion and devotion and a plain ol' fashion notion

Tell me this just can't be the way for love to live

Airline flights and sleepless nights

And mentally disturbing sights

And ev'rybody wantin' me to give

There's gotta be a better way to live.



I dream of hidden acres with no road

Where I can be with you (emotion)

No daily papers to carrode

My ev'ry thought of you (devotion)

I long for you lonely longin' for me

Knowin' that love demands reality.



Emotion and devotion and a plain ol' fashion notion

Tell me this just can't be the way for love to live

Airline flights and sleepless nights

And mentally disturbing sights

And ev'rybody wantin' me to give

There's gotta be a better way to live...
