JUST BECAUSE IT FEELS GOOD
(Bob McDill / Wayland Holyfield)


Ronnie Milsap - 1979
Mel McDaniel - 1982





One more round of drinks is on the table
One more time we slow dance across the floor
Softly in the dark we cling together
And I've never wanted any woman more

Your eyes tell me that it would be so easy
And I tell myself no one would ever know
Here we are so close to love it scares me
And here I am a long, long ways from home

And I know that we could spend the night together
Oh, I can see the promise in your eyes
And I know that it would feel so good to love you
But just because it feels good, that don't make it right

Well, it's closing time the place is almost empty
And we walk to the door side by side
I can almost feel you lyin' warm beside me
As I kiss your cheek, should I say goodbye

'Cause I know that we could spend the night together
Oh, I can see the promise in your eyes
And I know that it would feel so good to love you
But just because it feels good, that don't make it right
Ah, honey, just because it feels good, that don't make it right
