I’m Gonna Love Her Anyway

Verse 1

Sunday morning, sun in the sky

Polished my shoes and I fixed my tie

Walking up the path to the house on the hill

My heart’s beating fast, but my mind is still

I know your father’s got a heart of stone

But I’m not leaving this porch alone.

Pre-Chorus

I’m standing here with a ring and a prayer

But I can see the lightning in his glare

He said, "Son, you better turn and run"

But I’m just getting started, I’ve just begun.

Chorus

Oh, why you gotta act so tough?

Don’t you think I’ve waited long enough?

You can close the door, you can lock the gate

But you can’t stop a love that’s written in fate

I’m gonna love her anyway

Yeah, no matter what you say

We’re gonna find a way, yeah

Why you gotta act so tough?

Verse 2

I’ve got a steady hand and a plan for two

I’ll give her the world like you used to do

But you’re looking at me like I’m some kind of thief

When I’m just the guy who’s gonna bring her peace

You say I’m a dreamer with nothing to show

But I’m the only one she wants to know.

Bridge

You can shout, you can scream, you can call it a crime

But we’re moving forward one step at a time

If you don't give the blessing, we’ll build our own throne

On a little piece of land we call our home.

Chorus

Oh, why you gotta act so tough?

Don’t you think I’ve waited long enough?

You can close the door, you can lock the gate

But you can’t stop a love that’s written in fate

I’m gonna love her anyway

Yeah, no matter what you say

We’re gonna find a way, yeah

Why you gotta act so tough?

Outro

(No matter what you say...)

Yeah, we’re gonna be a family.

(No matter what you do...)

I’m still gonna marry her.

Why you gotta be so... tough?
