A Love of Your Own - Average White Band

Your memory has a mind of its own It knows where to go when it's gone I think I've lost it, then it proved me wrong Your memory has a mind of its own I can't tell it what to do I can smoke and I can drink until it's out of view But I can't hold it off, it's too strong Your memory has a mind of its own Your memory does what it wants to do It survives, though I don't want it to I do okay when I don't think of you But your memory does what it wants to do If your memory had ears they'd be burnin' If your memory had eyes they'd be cryin' And if it had a heart it would leave me alone But your memory has a mind of its own I can't tell it what to do I can smoke, I can drink until it's out of view But I can't hold it off, it's too strong Your memory has a mind of its own Your memory has a mind of its own

Love hurts Now you've a girl whose left with no words You're heart's a balloon, but then it bursts It doesn't take a cannon, just a pin Your skin's not covering And resistance Love has got to fight for it's existence The enemy has armies of assistance The amorous, the glamorous, the kiss, a fist Listen to this, oh Get out of your own way, oh, I Get out of your own way, oh, I I can sing it to you all night, all night If I could I'd make it alright, alright Nothing's stopping you, except what's inside I can help you, but it's your fight, your fight Fight back Don't take it lyin' down You got to bite back The face of liberty's starting to crack She had a plan until she got a smack in the mouth And it all went South Like freedom The slaves are lookin' for someone to lead 'em The master's lookin' for someone to need him The promised land is there for those that need it most And Lincoln's ghost said Get out of your own way, oh, I Get out of your own way, oh, I I can sing it to you all night, all night If I could I'd make it alright, alright Nothing's stopping you, except what's inside I can help you, but it's your fight, your fight I can sing it to you all night, all night If I could I'd make it alright, alright Nothing's stopping you, except what's inside I can help you, but it's your fight, your fight

I could sing it to you all night, all night If I could I'd make it alright, alright Nothing's stopping you except what's inside I can help you but it's your fight, your fight

Nobody can tell you There's only one song worth singing They may try and sell you 'Cause it hangs them up To see someone like you But you gotta make your own kind of music Sing your own special song Make your own kind of music Even if nobody else sings along You're gonna be nowhere The loneliest kind of lonely It may be rough going Just to do your thing is the hardest thing to do But you gotta make your own kind of music Sing your own special song Make your own kind of music Even if nobody else sings along So if you cannot take my hand (take my hand) And if you must be going, I will understand 'Cause you gotta make your own kind of music Sing your own special song Make your own kind of music Even if nobody else sings along You gotta make your own kind of music Sing your own special song Make your own kind of music Even if nobody else sings along Even if nobody else sings along If nobody else sings along
