The Key of Love

(Emory Gordy - Al Anderson)



This ain't up tempo, this ain't no positive

This ain't no music meant for jumping up and down

This is a sad song, more than three minutes long

It took a lifetime just to come this far.



This thing is serious, we're in a big mess

We're at the junction of forever and goodbye

If this is where we're going

Well, hello, honey, here we are.



Are you gonna leave or do I have to stay

All wound up tight with this tension and anxiety

Can't take one minute more, what am I in this for

It's like I love you and I hate you at the same time.



I think this jig is up, I think I've had enough

I think I'm running outta reasons not to let you go

I've faced the music

I's over for the rhythm and the rhyme.



Chorus:

Baby, this is a hook, last line and sinker

A moldy oldie on the radio you remember but it's over and done

It's the end of the dance, let's take it out with a new song

A little thing called the blues in the key of love.



No place left to go when the good is gone

One line away from a brand new song, oh.

It's the end of the dance, let's take it out with a new song
