If I Don't Stop Loving You - Leslie Mendelson

The banners are all coming down

Now that you’re leaving town

It’s getting cold again

But life must still go on

Even though I know it won’t be long

Until I’m torn again

So why am I still thinking of you

When I know that I just don’t belong to you

I’m preparing to meet my doom

It’s gonna come one day soon

If I don’t stop loving you

I saw the warning signs

Long before our hearts aligned

But I couldn’t stop myself

I loved every inch of the ride

And somehow you crept up inside

Where I could forget myself

But why am I still thinking of you

When I can’t have you although I want you

Pretty soon I’ll be lost in the rain

My world quietly slipping away

And I’ll only have myself left to blame

If I don’t stop loving you

If I don’t stop loving you

There’ll be hell to pay

If I don’t stop loving you

The band will refuse to play

So why am I still thinking of you

When I know that I just don’t belong to you

I’m walking a very thin line

With the devil just one step behind

And I’ll be slowly going out of my mind

If I don’t stop loving you
