lyrics

I Won't Compromise

Time takes time to pass us by
Sometimes it creeps, sometimes it flies
But it took no time for me to realize
It's you for me, I won't compromise

I won't compromise, I won't compromise
If I can't hold you all my life
These big old open bold blue eyes gon' cry till the day I die

You took your time to meet me dear
I took my time to meet you here
If I've learned one thing in these 28 years, it's-
If you love somebody make that clear

I won't compromise, I won't compromise
If I can't hold you all my life
These big old open bold blue eyes gon' cry till the day I die
Oh, they gon cryyyyy till the day I die

You jump start my heart every time I think of you
There's hardly a moment pretty baby when I don't
So that I'm bouncin' all around up and down in this body
Lack my sleep but your love keeps me lively
It's you and me or I'll live a lonely life

I want you here now I can't lie
I want you dancin' by my side
You make my days and my nights so lovely
It's you for me I won't compromise

I won't compromise, I won't compromise
If I can't hold you all my life
These big old open bold blue eyes gon' cry till the day I die

I won't compromise, I won't compromise
If I can't hold you all my life
These big old open bold blue eyes gon' cry till the day I die
They gon' cryyyyy till the day I
Die, die, di-di-die......................

I won't compromise, I won't compromise
If I can't hold you all my life
These big old open bold blue eyes gon' cryyyy
Till the day I die-di-uh-ohh-di-die
Oh, they gon' cryyyyy
Till the day I dieieieiiie, mmmmm!
