What Are We Doin' in Love
Kenny Rogers · Best Of [Platinum Disc] [2003]
Kenny Roger & Dottie West
(Dottie)
We're like summer and winter
We're not one bit alike
We're like satin and cinders
I'm definitely not your type.
(Together)
Well, then what are we doin' in love
What are we doin' in a mess like this
What are we doin' love?
(Dottie)
Why were you someone I couldn't resist?
(Together)
What are we doin' in love?
(Kenny)
Were like paper and matches
(Dottie)
We'll probly have our share of fights
(Kenny)
We're like roses and switches
(Dottie)
It's gonna be hard but we've got to try
(Toghether)
So what are we doin' love
What are we doin' in a mess like this
What are we doin' love?
(Kenny)
And what are we gonna tell all our friends?
(Dottie)
You don't have to like someone
To love someone
That rule was made to be broken.
(Together)
But if we have to say goodbye
To a life we've gotten used to
What are we doin' love then?
(Dottie)
We're like sunup and sundow
(Kenny)
People say we're never going to last
(Dottie)
Like Uptown and downtown
(Kenny)
You like it slow but I like it fast.
(Together)
What are we doin' love?
What are we doin' in a mess like this?
What are we doin' love?
(Kenny)
What are we gonna tell all our friends?
(Together)
What are we doin' love?
What are we doin' in a mess like this?
What are we doin' love?
(Dottie)
You were just someone I couldn't resist
(Together)
So that's what we're doin' in love...
(Dottie)
We're like summer and winter
We're not one bit alike
We're like satin and cinders
I'm definitely not your type.
(Together)

What are we doin' love?
(Dottie)
