The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
Sometimes, I watch you when you're sleeping I wonder what you're feeling Both wide awake and dreaming Of yesterday, I want you To kiss away the tensions The issues never mentioned With all the best intentions But you turn away Oh baby if you find I'm not the loving kind I'll buy you flowers I'll pour you wine Do anything to change your mind I know you may be disinclined To find the love we've left behind So kiss me then make up your mind I'm not the loving kind I'd do anything Sing songs that lover's sing If I could change your mind Am I not the loving kind? I'd do anything Sing songs that lover's sing If I could change your mind Am I not the loving kind? Somewhere on a Monday morning In a rush hour of another day Standing on a crowded platform Carelessly we lost our way Sometimes I watch you when you're sleeping I wonder what you're feeling Both wide awake and dreaming Of yesterday Oh baby if you find I'm not the loving kind I'll buy you flowers I'll pour you wine Do anything to change your mind I know you may be disinclined To find the love we've left behind So kiss me then make up your mind I'm not the loving kind I'm not the loving kind I'm not the loving kind Oh baby if you find I'm not the loving kind I'll buy you flowers I'll pour you wine Do anything to change your mind I know you may be disinclined To find the love we've left behind So kiss me then make up your mind I'm not the loving kind I'm not the loving kind I'm not the loving kind
