Whirlpool Of Love
Webb Pierce · Other Songs - Webb Pierce
(Everyone says stay away from her door)
You'll end up with heartaches like you ain't before
But I'm lonesome for you in this world
That I call a whirlpool of love
(Nothing seems good for me when you're away)
If I'm sad or happy in the night time or day
It all depends on you, darling, you see
In this whirlpool of love
You brought me many heartaches before
But in your heart, dear, you know
(I am still waiting for you as before)
Soon I'll be knocking on your heart's door
One word from you will set me free
From this whirlpool of love
You brought me many heartaches before
But in your heart, dear, you know
(I am still waiting for you as before)
Soon I'll be knocking on your heart's door
One word from you will set me free
From this whirlpool of love
(Whirlpool, whirlpool of love)
