What I'm Up Against

(albüm: After The Storm - 2002)

Forever never meant a thing to me
A week or two was far as I could see
It hasn't been my styleTo stay in one place for too long
I'd blow in like the wind
Then I'd be gone
But somethin's keeping me from picking up and moving on

[CHORUS:]
This is what I'm up against
Her soft cheeks and her tender lips
And when we're dancing I just can't resist
Holding her close as I can
She's got a smile that lights up the room
Shames the sun and the jealous moon
Her body next to mine on nights like this
Is what I 'm up against

Could've made my getaway last night
'Told her that the feeling wasn't right
I've always run when love was closing in on me before
But she makes my knees too weak to reach the door
My mind says time to leave
While my heart, it begs for more

[CHORUS]

Just when I think I've found the strength to go
The look in her eyes
The touch of her hand
Let's me know

[CHORUS]
