Lyrics

Stop Fighting Love

[Verse 1]

I'm the one that loves you

I'm the one that cares

Night comes and I think of you alone

We've changed, love remains

So give me one more chance

I'll wait another day until there's nothing

[Chorus 1]

Stop fightin' love

Baby, I just wanna know the reason why

Stop fightin' love

Don't say goodbye

And you'll be back in my arms again

[Verse 2]

I can make it better

I could make it right

If only you could try and see the light

Someday, some way

I'm gonna make you see

That I'll pay for my mistakes until there's nothing

[Chorus 1]

Stop fightin' love

Baby, I just wanna know the reason why

Stop fightin' love

Don't say goodbye

[Chorus 2]

Stop fightin' love

When you gonna tell me?

Show me you're mine

Stop fightin' love

Don't say goodbye

And you'll be back in my arms again

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

I let your lust for love excite me

You took my heart instead

And now there's nothin'

[Chorus 1]

Stop fightin' love

Well, I just wanna know the reason why

Stop fightin' love

Don't say goodbye

[Chorus 3]

Stop fightin' love

Baby, there's no reason why

Stop fightin' love

Don't say goodbye

And you'll be back in my arms again

[Outro]

Stop fightin', stop fightin' love

Stop fightin', stop fightin' love

Stop fightin', stop fightin' love

Stop fightin', stop fightin' love
