Love Gets in the Way

(Scott Joyce & Blake Shelton)



Little by little, now babe

I've come a long, long way

Picking up the pieces

That you threw away

Did you give it up

Did I let you down

Either way, it doesn't matter

'Cause I'm finally comin' 'round

I hope you find where you belong

Hello, goodbye, life goes on.



In another town, in a little place

Looking in the eyes of a pretty face

I ain't no fool

I know what she's thinkin'

I can hold her in my arms

But I could never let her stay

'Cause love, your sweet love

Still gets in the way.



Minute by minute

I hear the voice in my heart

Be a man, take her hand

And make a new start

So, I think a little less

I drink a little more

'Cause all in all she's everything

That i've been waiting for

She smiles that smile

I face the fact

Love's a give a take thing

And I can't give it back.



In another town, in a little place

Looking in the eyes of a pretty face

I ain't no fool

I know what she's thinkin'

I can hold her in my arms

But I could never let her stay

'Cause love, your sweet love

Still gets in the way.
