Lovin' You
Dolly Parton · Best Of
While you are sleepinÂ’, am I sleepinÂ’, too
Well I just sittinÂ’ here lovinÂ’ you
Close my eyes anÂ’ lovinÂ’ you
IÂ’m just sittinÂ’ back, sittinÂ’ here lovinÂ’ you
AnÂ’ I have been wonderinÂ’ just what I would do
If I werenÂ’t sleepinÂ’, had I not found you
Well IÂ’d be outside findinÂ’ you
IÂ’d be walkinÂ’ on the avenue findinÂ’ you
Well, IÂ’m just sittinÂ’ back, sittinÂ’ here lovinÂ’ you
Now the reason that you never see me runninÂ’ Â’round
Fingers on my forehead couldnÂ’t calm me down
AnÂ’ he canÂ’t even get me up and on my feet
When IÂ’ve got to take care of some business on the street
I have been walkinÂ’ all my streets alone
But I wonÂ’t keep walkinÂ’ to keep from goinÂ’ home
CouldnÂ’t quite barely concieve of you
Aw, anÂ’ IÂ’m just sittinÂ’ back, sittinÂ’ here lovinÂ’ you
If youÂ’ve been wonderinÂ’ what IÂ’m gonna do
While you are sleepinÂ’, am I sleepinÂ’, too
Well I just sittinÂ’ here lovinÂ’ you
I just close my eyes anÂ’ lovinÂ’ you
Aw, anÂ’ IÂ’m just sittinÂ’ back sittinÂ’ here lovinÂ’ you
