I Can't Stand Still Lyrics

I know you love me
You know I love you too
You know I always will
No matter what you doSay you haven't got another lover
Say you only want to make the scene
Then you try to keep it under cover
What does that mean?And baby, I can't stand still
While he's holding you
I can't stand
While he's kissing youSo we got a little problem, baby
How to put together love and work?
If I could figure out that one, darlin'
I could save us from a world of hurtI remember when we walked together
Making love on a summer night
Guess we thought that it would last forever
We were all rightBut baby, I can't stand still
While he's holding you
I can't stand still

While he's touching youI can take it if you need some freedom
Understand it if you miss your friends
Don't you ever try to think of me?
So, you never tell me where you've beenSay you haven't got another lover
Say you only want to make the scene
Then you try to keep it under cover
What does that mean?And baby, I can't stand still
While he's holding you
I can't stand still
While he's kissing youBaby, I can't stand still
While he's holding you
I can't stand still
While he's touching youBaby, I can't stand still
While he's holding you
I can't stand still
While he's touching youBaby, I can't stand still
Baby, I can't stand still
While he's kissing you
Baby, I can't stand still
While he's touching you

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Don Henley

Don Henley (born Donald Hugh Henley in Gilmer, Texas, USA on 22 July 1947) is drummer, singer, and songwriter with the band Eagles. Since the 80s he has had a successful solo career and has played a founding role in several causes.

In 1970, he moved to Los Angeles to record an album with his early band, Shiloh. Shiloh's album was produced by fellow Texan Kenny Rogers. Shortly thereafter, Henley met Glenn Frey. They both became members of Linda Ronstadt's backup band. Touring with her was the catalyst for forming the group. As a result, two months later they, along with Bernie Leadon and Randy Meisner, became their own act, Eagles.

Henley's music is often social commentary. One of his more famous songs is "Dirty Laundry" (from his I Can't Stand Still album, released in 1982). Its origins date back to 1980, when Henley was put on probation for possession of a narcotic and fined for contributing to the delinquency of a minor. The ensuing media circus and on-air pundits claiming that his career was over led to the writing of the song, which continues to be an indictment against the broadcast news media. Similarly, "Johhny Can't Read" (also from the Can't Stand Still album), continues to resound as a commentary on the educational system.
