I Ain't Giving Up On Love
Marty Stuart · Other Songs - Marty Stuart
We've been climbing but we didn't climb high enough
You told me that you loved me but not enough to change your name
We wound up in the ashes but we sure went down in flames
I ain't giving up on love, I'm just giving up on you
Lord, I feel a little shattered, been a little battered
My heart's black and blue
Well, we turned love every way but loose
Now, we're gonna turn it that way too
I ain't giving up on love, I'm just giving up on you
It's a long way back when you've gone as far as you can go
The wheels of love are a turning, they're just a turning a little slow
I'm hurting just a little and you're bound to hurt a little too
And it's gonna take a lotta woman to love me like you used to do
I ain't giving up on love, I'm just giving up on you
Lord, I feel a little shattered, been a little battered
My heart's black and blue
Well, we turned love every way but loose
Now, we're gonna turn it that way too
I ain't giving up on love, I'm just giving up on you
