Text: Patty Loveless. The Key Of Love.

This ain't up tempo, this ain't no positive
This ain't no music meant for jumping up and down
This is a sad song, more than three minutes long
It took a lifetime just to come this far

This thing is serious, we're in a big mess
We're at the junction of forever and goodbye
If this is where we're going
Well, hello, honey, here we are

Are you gonna leave or do I have to say?
All wound up tight with this tension and anxiety
Can't take one minute more, what am I in this for
It's like I love you and hate you at the same time

I think this jig is up, I think I've had enough
I think I'm running outta reasons not to let you go
I've faced the music
It's over for the rhythm and the rhyme

Baby, this is a hook, last line and sinker
A moldy oldie on the radio you remember, but it's over and done
It's the end of the dance, let's take it out with a new song
A little thing called the blues in the key of love

No place left to go when the good is gone
One line away from brand new song

Baby this is a hook, last line and sinker
A moldy oldie on the radio you remember, but it's over and done
It's the end of the dance, let's take it out with a new song
A little thing called the blues in the key of love

No place left to go when the good is gone
One line away from brand new song

Baby this is a hook, last line and sinker
A moldy oldie on the radio you remember, but it's over and done
It's the end of the dance, let's take it out with a new song
A little thing called the blues in the key of love
