Lyrics
The Keeping Kind CHORUS That girl is not the keeping kind She’ll never give her heart She has learned the hard way It’ll only get torn apart She will laugh and dance awhile Maybe take you home tonight But don’t think you’ll ever keep her She’s not the keeping kind She walks in as the band starts At the bar she takes a seat Orders the first of many Each night it’s the same routine A smile can’t hide those sad eyes A pretty face won’t hide the pain Nothing stills the loneliness That haunts her night and day REPEAT CHORUS She has the face of an angel But a heart she says is stone There’s no happy ever after So she’d rather be alone From time to time she’ll need you And a touch that’s warm But she won’t let you dry the tears That come with the dawn REPEAT CHORUS She wasn't always like this The girl you see tonight She had a home and family She had such a perfect life But her fairytale just ended On that dark and lonely road When they left this world without her And left her all alone REPEAT CHORUS © 2017 ITSMYSONG MUSIC (ASCAP) All Rights Reserved
