I'm Not Leavin'

Verse 1

Everybody's got advice
On how love's supposed to go
Keep your options open wide
And don't ever get too close

They say don't settle down
Don't let her know you care
But I'm done with halfway livin'
And I'm not going anywhere

Pre-Chorus

I don't need a backup plan
I don't need a door ajar
I ain't scared of where this lands
I think I know where we are

Chorus
And I'm not leavin'
you are the real thing
Not a spark, not a season
Not a fling

Say the word if you're with me
If you feel it like I do
'cause Girl, you're stuck with me.........
Yeah, I'm not leavin'

Verse 2

I've seen sparks burn out
I've seen "forevers" fold
I've seen people chase a feelin'
Just to wind up alone

But this ain't just a feeling
That fades when life comes unwound
It's knowin' where I'm standin'
When the dust all settles down

Chorus
And I'm not leavin'
you are the real thing
Not a spark, not a season
Not a fling

Say the word if you're with me
If you feel it like I do
'Cause Girl, you're stuck with me.........
Yeah, I'm not leavin'

Bridge

stayin' don't make headlines
people think that it wont sell
they seem to think a running song
Makes a better story to tell

Final Chorus (Lift)

But I'm not leavin'
' you are the real thing
Not a spark, not a season
Not a fling

Say the word if you're with me
If you feel it like I do
'Cause Girl, you're stuck with me.........
Yeah, I'm not leavin'
