"What I'm Up Against" lyrics - CHRIS LEDOUX

Forever never meant a thing to me
A week or two was far as I could see
It hasn't been my style
To stay in one place for too long
I'd blow in like the wind then I'd be gone
But somethin's keepin' me from pickin' up and movin' on

This is what I'm up against
Her soft cheeks and her tender lips
And when we're dancin' I just can't resist
Holdin' her close as I can
She's got a smile that lights up the room
Shames the sun and the jealous moon
Her body next to mine on nights like this
Is what I'm up against

Could've made my getaway last night
Told her that the feelin' wasn't right
I've always run when love was closin' in on me before
But she makes my knees too weak to reach the door
My mind says time to leave
While my heart it begs for more

This is what I'm up against
Her soft cheeks and her tender lips
And when we're dancin' I just can't resist
Holdin' her close as I can
She's got a smile that lights up the room
Shames the sun and the jealous moon
Her body next to mine on nights like this
Is what I'm up against

Just when I think I've found the strength to go
The look in her eyes, the touch of her hand let's me know

This is what I'm up against
Her soft cheeks and her tender lips
And when we're dancin' I just can't resist
Holdin' her close as I can
She's got a smile that lights up the room
Shames the sun and the jealous moon
Her body next to mine on nights like this
Is what I'm up against
Her body next to mine on nights like this
Is what I'm up against
