What I'm Up Against - Chris Ledoux

Forever never meant a thing to me

A week or two was far as I could see

It hasn’t been my styleTo stay in one place for too long

I’d blow in like the wind

Then I’d be gone

But somethin’s keepin' me from pickin' up and movin' on

This is what I’m up against

Her soft cheeks and her tender lips

And when we’re dancin' I just can’t resist

Holdin' her close as I can

She’s got a smile that lights up the room

Shames the sun and the jealous moon

Her body next to mine on nights like this

Is what I 'm up against

Could’ve made my getaway last night

'Told her that the feelin' wasn’t right

I’ve always run when love was closin' in on me before

But she makes my knees too weak to reach the door

My mind says time to leave

While my heart, it begs for more

Just when I think I’ve found the strength to go

The look in her eyes

The touch of her hand

Let’s me know
