"If I Don't Stop Loving You" Lyrics

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
