Why Don't We Go Somewhere And Love

I don't want to read the paper this morning
I don't want to hear no busy city sounds
There's so many things that's so much more important
And they're the only things worth thinkin' bout
Why don't go somewhere and love
It's been a long long time
Why don't we just go somewhere and love
And lock the world outside
Why don't we just lay down what we're doin'
We don't need a reason or a rhyme
Don't take the time to stop and think about it
If we talk too much we might just change our mind
So why don't we go somewhere and love
And leave it all behind
Why don't we just go somewhere and love
And stay a long long time
Why don't we go somewhere and love
And leave it all behind
Why don't we just go somewhere and love
And stay a long long time
I don't want to hear no busy city sounds
There's so many things that's so much more important
And they're the only things worth thinkin' bout
Why don't go somewhere and love
It's been a long long time
Why don't we just go somewhere and love
And lock the world outside
Why don't we just lay down what we're doin'
We don't need a reason or a rhyme
Don't take the time to stop and think about it
If we talk too much we might just change our mind
So why don't we go somewhere and love
And leave it all behind
Why don't we just go somewhere and love
And stay a long long time
Why don't we go somewhere and love
And leave it all behind
Why don't we just go somewhere and love
And stay a long long time
Why Don't We Go Somewhere And Love
B.J. Thomas delivers a tender ballad in this recording, capturing the quiet intimacy of a couple seeking escape from their daily troubles. The song reflects the gentle, romantic style that characterized much of his work during the late 1970s, blending soft instrumentation with his signature vocal warmth. While not one of his most commercially explosive hits, the track stands as a sincere expression of affection and the desire for a peaceful retreat together. It complements his broader discography of heartfelt love songs, showcasing his ability to convey deep emotion through melody and voice without relying on dramatic flair.
