LOVE
IS NOT ENOUGH (TO STAY ALIVE) [demo version] (Robert J.
Purvis)
Was around about the month of May when I packed
my things and left
Heading out across this land I'd sown
We really couldn't make ends meet and things were looking bad
I had to take this chance to save our home
My heart was filled with sadness as I kissed them all goodbye
We were still so much in love, but love's just not enough to stay alive
I must have walked for miles and miles when a farmer called me from a
fence
He said that he would pay me for my time
Well, the days were long and the nights were cold
But I kept my eyes above searching for that rainbow in the sky
I felt the need to hold you as the days just passed me by
We were still so much in love, but love's just not enough to stay alive
Yeah
[scat singing (in place of solo)]
Love's just not enough, no no no
Love's just not enough, no no no
Love's just not enough
Not enough to stay alive
Love's just not enough, no no no
Love's just not enough, no no no
Love's just not enough
Not enough to stay alive
