Everything But Love - Joey Scarbury

Love, love is strange Many people take it for a game Once you've had it, you're in an awful fix 'Cause after you've had it you never want to quit A lot of people, they don't understand They think lovin' is money in their hand Your sweet lovin' is better than a kiss When you leave me, those kisses I will miss Love, oh, whoa, love is strange Many people, oh, whoa, take it for a game Once you've had it, oh, whoa, you're in an awful fix 'Cause after you've had it, oh, whoa, you never want to quit A lot of people, whoa, whoa, they don't understand They think lovin', oh, whoa, is money in their hand Your sweet lovin', oh, whoa, is better than a kiss When you leave me, oh, whoa, those kisses I will miss When you leave me, oh, whoa, those kisses I will miss Those kisses I will miss, those kisses I will miss Those kisses I will miss

When I saw you I knew you were the one I want to orbit you like you're the sun But let me know before I come undone Am I the one for you I'm like a puzzle with a missing piece I got a car but didn't get the keys And only you can set my mind at ease So what am I to do I have everything but the girl I want, it's sad but true And everything but the love I need to make it through And every time I look into your eyes, that's when I realize Just how much I love you Some say lady luck is on my side And that my life has been an easy ride But they don't know how many times I cried Cause I am nothing without you I have everything but the girl I want, it's sad but true And everything but the love I need to make it through And everytime I look into your eyes, that's when I realize Just how much I love you I don't know how long I can keep it up I need a sign to make it through You gotta tell me now, you gotta let me know So what am I, what am I to do

I bet you're wondering where I've been What town I'm calling home for now And just how long I'll be there Before I turn around Truth is I finally found a place Where I can start to plant some roots Its about as close as being perfect It's got everyting but you Theres a pathway to the ocean A salty breeze blowin' And the old man down the street makes damn good wine Its got stars that shine like diamonds On the black canvas behind them And there's a sun out here that seems to always shine And I've never seen water quite so blue Its got everything but you Theres a taco stand down on the corner Serves the best cold draft beer Sometimes I order up a round Pretend that you're out here And a reggae band plays every friday We drink and dance into the night Most folks out here think I'm a local And I say that that's about right Yeah that's about right Theres a pathway to the ocean A salty breeze blowin And the old man down the street makes damn good wine It's got stars that shine like diamonds On the black canvas behind them And there's a sun out here that seems to always shine And I ain't never seen water quite so blue It's got everything but you And that's everything to me You The only thing I need, yeah There's a pathway to the ocean A salty breeze blowin' And this old man down the street makes damn good wine And I ain't never seen water quite so blue No I ain't never seen water quite so blue It's got everything but you

Far away in another place I'd give my soul just to see your face Found a note hidden in my suitcase Of everything that you just couldn't say How'd you know I needed that today? Wherever you are is where I wanna be Look around and tell me what you see Everything, everything but me No matter how many miles stand in between In my heart is where you'll be Holding on to all our dreams With everything, everything but me Looking through photographs today Different times always seem the same Then I saw a picture of your smile Something I haven't seen in a while You know the one, the one you love to hate But every time, it takes my breath away Wherever you are is where I wanna be Look around and tell me what you see Everything, everything but me No matter how many miles stand in between In my heart is where you'll be Holding on to all our dreams With everything, everything but me Do you know how much it hurts? To go and leave it all behind, leave it all behind I see you in my mind You are right there all the time Far away in another place Give my soul just to see your face Wherever you are is where I wanna be Look around and tell me what you see Everything, everything but me No matter how many miles stand in between In my heart is where you'll be Holding on to all our dreams, yeah No matter how many miles stand in between In my heart is where you'll be Holding on to all our dreams With everything, everything but me With everything, everything but me
