That Kind O' Love Songtext
von McAlister Kemp

It was just a football all roughed up and a little flat
They took it from me and I wanted it back
There were three of them and that′s a fight I couldn't win
But I gave it my best, took it right square on the chin
When I got home, big black eye and busted lip
My older brother said, "Boy, I′ll take care of this"

You don't forget that kind o' love
It′s a bond you find that lasts for a lifetime, a feeling you can trust
It′s the kind of thing you can lean on
When it's cold and dark, it fills your heart, it helps you carry on
With every breath, you don′t forget
That kind o' love


We were in our twenties, three weeks late with the rent
I was pulling doubles trying to catch up on it
I couldn′t buy her all the things that I wanted her to have
At night, I'd toss and turn ′cause it made me fightin' mad
There in the darkness, she'd slide up close to me
And whisper softly in my ear, "You′re all I′ll ever need"

You don't forget that kind o′ love
It's the bond you find that lasts for a lifetime, a feeling you can trust
It′s the kind of thing you can lean on
When it's cold and dark, it fills your heart, it helps you carry on
With every breath, you don′t forget
That kind o' love

Last night, my little girl was waiting at the door
She wrapped her arms around me, who could ask for more?

You don't forget that kind o′ love
It′s a bond you find that lasts for a lifetime, it's a feeling you can trust
It′s the kind of thing you can lean on
When it's cold and dark, it fills your heart and helps you carry on
With every breath, you don′t forget
With every breath, you don't forget
That kind o′ love
