Lyrics: American singer, songwriter, record producer and television personality, Lionel Richie.

Stuck on you.

Stuck on you,
I’ve got this feeling down deep in my soul that I just can’t lose.
Guess I’m on my way.
Needed a friend,
And the way I feel now I guess I’ll be with you ’til the end.
Guess I’m on my way,
Mighty glad you stayed.
Stuck on you,
Been a fool too long I guess it’s time for me to come on home.
Guess I’m on my way.
So hard to see,
That a woman like you could wait around for a man like me.
Guess I’m on my way,
Mighty glad you stayed.
Oh, I’m leaving on that midnight train tomorrow,
And I know just where I’m going.
I’ve packed up my troubles and I’ve thrown them all away,
‘Cause this time little darling
I’m coming home to stay.
I’m stuck on you.
I’ve got this feeling down deep in my soul that I just can’t lose.
Guess I’m on my way.
Needed a friend,
And the way I feel now I guess I’ll be with you ’til the end.
Guess I’m on my way.
I’m mighty glad you stayed.

END
