You Keep Right on Loving Me

Faron Young · It's Four in the Morning [Mercury] [1972]

(Don Devaney)



Puttin' on your makeup

I can see the lines you're tryin' hard to hide

Lines that tell the story of your life with me

That seemed to you good times.



All I've been to you is a thorn

To me you've been a rose

And you keep right on loving me

But why you do I'll never know.



Making yourself pretty for a man

Who hasn't made your life much fun

Never do you complain and if angels walk on earth

Then honey, you'd be one.



And if you've ever cried

You've cried inside where it don't show

And you keep right on loving me

But why you do I'll never know.



I broke every promise

Not even the small ones could I keep

That's why I keep thinkin' that you'd be

So much better off without me.



And I know if I try to leave

You'd even let me go

And you'd keep right on loving me

And why you would I'll never know...
