I Can't Stand Still

Don Henley


I know you love me 
You know I love you too 
You know I always will 
No matter what you do 

You say you haven't got another lover 
You 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 you) 

So 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 hurt 

I remember when we walked together 
Makin' love on a summer night 
Guess we thought that it would last forever 
We were all right 

But baby, I can't stand still (while he's holding you) 
I can't stand still (while he's touching you) 

I can take it if you need some freedom 
Understand it if you miss your friends 
Don't you ever try to think of me some 
You never tell me where you've been 

You say you haven't got another lover 
You 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 you) 
And baby, I can't stand still (while he's holding you) 
I can't stand still (while he's touching you) 
I can't stand still
