Lay your best dress on the ground There's nothing going on in town I won't let the sorrow put us down Just leave those shoes right by the door Cause many times my heart's been broken I still find pieces on the floor And this time I won't let love get in the way This time I won't let love get in the way! It's hard enough for me to get you to stay So this time I won't let love get in the way! The radio, is moaning low The room is lit up blue by TV shows Let's open up that bottle of old champagne Well I know that you don't like it But I'll drink it all the same And this time I won't let love get in the way This time I won't let love get in the way! It's hard enough for me to let you to stay So this time I won't let love get in the way! The night is turning softly into dawn The wind is blowing pages of a book out on the lawn The leaves upon those trees are holding on Well like those who have fallen Cause many times my heart is calling out your name for far too long Every time I just let love get in the way, oh Every time I just let love get in the way Keep on moving way too fast, My mind keeps thinking about the past Next time won't let love get in the way! Next time won't let love get in the way! Next time won't let love get in the way!
