Lyrics

Keeping Still
By Ted Horrell

I spent so much time looking for it
I don’t know if I’d know if I found it
Seems like everybody’s got it
I get kind of tired of being around it

They say love is joy, they tell me love is a thrill
They say you try to hard to find it and you never will
They tell me love sneaks up on you, so I’m keeping still
They tell me love sneaks up on you, so I’m keeping still

I’m mindful of my reputation
I try not to come on too strong
I try to hide my desperation
But it keeps pushing me along
They tell me, oh when it finds you, you won’t be the same
They say that looking out for love is just a loser’s game
They tell me love sneaks up on you, so I’m keeping still
They tell me love sneaks up on you, so I’m keeping still

I need a bridge
All the verses sound the same in this lame old song
There it is
Just when I had given up, the thing came along
It’s like a bomb going off
It’s like a bomb going off
It’s like a bomb going off in me

I don’t want to hear another story
Bout the wonderful way they met
I don’t need more proof of love’s glory
I would rather drop out and forget it
They tell me, oh when it finds you, you won’t be the same
They say that looking out for love is just a loser’s game
They tell me love sneaks up on you, so I’m keeping still
They tell me love sneaks up on you, so I’m keeping still
