(Tom Ghent - Joe Dougherty)



I can swim the mighty ocean, climb a mountain high

But I can't forget the notion, true love should never die

Now, lovin' ain't for heroes, Lord knows I'm not

But I'd risk the raging river to hold on to what I've got.



Say the word, babe I'll talk it , draw the line and, honey, I'll walk it 

I'd do most anything just to keep you satisfied

'Cause I don't want to lost you, don't want to pick and choose new

Take off them shoes, you ain't walkin' out the door.

Life's much too short, girl, to fill up with fussin'

End up with nothin', broken hearted and alone

Think of ther good times we've been a-knowin'

'Fore we start throwin' those stupid sticks and stones.



Say the word, babe I'll talk it, draw the line and, honey, I'll walk it 

Why, I'd do most anything just to keep you satisfied

'Cause I don't want to lost you, don't want to pick and choose new

Take off them shoes, you ain't walkin' out that door.



Take off them shoes, you ain't walkin' out the door...
