Love It Out Instead
by Laura Overstreet

Share link

The poet, B. F. Maiz visited me once and gave me a copy of one of his poems. He signed it with, "Laura. Love is easy." That made me think that love is. But all the other stuff is hard.

Lyrics

All my friends agree with me. I'm sure your friends agree with you, too.
But you were wrong for what you did and didn't do.
They say I should move along. It's no good when we come head to head.
But I don't think we can work it out. Let's love it out instead.

I tried to follow their advice-put the past in it's place and move on.
But something about our love haunts me when they're gone.
I drive by a familiar place of think of something we did back then.
I start to feel like I did when we loved it out instead.

But with all that's come between us, shouldI look the other way?
Can I just forget the painful things we've said?
If I held you close against me, would it take the hurt away?
I don't think we can work it out. Let's love it out instead.

I may be my worst enemy. Or I may be my own best friend.
All I know is sometimes I need you again.
It may not work but I need to try.
I'm not sure our love is dead.
But I don't think we can work it out.
Let's love it out instead, yeah.
Let's love it out instead.
