I Always Come Back to Loving You
Mel Tillis · The Best Way I Know How [1975]
Ties between us are broken
Papers we signed say we're through
And I've tasted each bitter word I spoken
And I always come back to loving you.
I always come back to loving you
I always remember sweet things you do
And no matter where I go or what I run into
I always come back to loving you.
--- Instrumental ---
Many times I tried forgetting
As I lay in the arms of someone new
But her cold arms just bring sure one mem'ry
So I always come back to loving you.
I always come back to loving you
I always remember sweet things you do
And no matter where I go or what I run into
I always come back to loving you.
I always come back to loving you...
