ONLY LOVE CAN GET YOU IN MY DOOR
(Rick Marlowe / Michael Rubin)


Jerry Lee Lewis - 1976



Only love can get you in my door
My heart won't settle for less or ask for more
There's no love light shining in your eyes
Girl you can't like Jerry Lee's way to paradise

Only love can get you in my arms
That's the only place you're really safe and warm
Girl we can't go back to where we were before
Only love can get you in my door

Tried so many times the other way
Those who come to take but not to stay
Hey girl, if you've really got something to give
Lay it on Jerry Lee Lewis heavily
And maybe, baby we can really start to live

Only love can get you in my arms
I guarantee you, darlin', that's where you'll be safe and warm
Can't go back to where we were before
Only love can get you in my door

Only love can get you in my door
Honey, you know that's what Jerry Lee's waitin' for
Can't go back to where we were before
Only love can get you in my door

Only love can whisper in my ear
That is the only song I wanta hear
Ain't goin' back to where we were before
I love you, darlin', but only love can get you in my door

Tried so many times the other way
With those who come to take, but not to stay
Maybe, baby, if you've really got somethin' to give
Lay it on the Killer, lay it on the Killer, lay it on the Killer
We're gonna live, live, live

Only love can whisper in my ear
Honey, that's the only song I wanta hear
Ain't going back to where we were before
Only love can get you in my door

Play your fiddle, brother (Violin Solo)

You know, I tried so many times the other way
With those who come to take, but never to stay
Honey, if you've really got somethin' to give
Then give it to me, give it to me, give it to me
Baby, baby, we can really start to live

But only love can get you in my arms
That's the only place you're really safe and warm
Can't go back to where we were before
Only love can get you in my door
