Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Inside, outside, up and around Love set me up and love let me down again Feel like a weatherman One day sun, next day rain You ask me if I really care Don't you know the answer Rainy day blues never felt this way I wanna stay with you For the rest of my life I wanna live with you For the rest of my life I wanna stay with you For the rest of my life When I gave my loving to you It meant little to me Somehow somewhere you changed my point of view Good times, bad times, happy or sad Being in love is better than being out I might have had my doubts But nothing to write home about
