One Breath at a Time

Yesterday’s done gone away

I never knew that girl to stay

Tomorrow’s boy never does show

He’s only rumor now don’t you know

I don’t keep no cares about that

I don’t have to be aware about that

Don’t even give a little thought about that

’Cause my baby girl says it ain’t about that

She’s got a smile, ain’t no teasing

Time in this world is spent on pleasing me

My baby loves me

One breath at a time

Ain’t no rhyme ain’t no reason

Ain’t no style ain’t no season

My baby loves me

One breath at a time

All my friends say to me

They want to see some guarantee

Nobody wants to wait and see

Nobody’s diggin’ on a mystery

I don’t keep no cares about that

I don’t have to be aware about that

Don’t even give a little thought about that

’Cause my baby girl says it ain’t about that

She’s got a way to keep me swinging

Time in this world is spent on pleasing me

My baby loves me

One breath at a time

Ain’t no rhyme ain’t no reason

Ain’t no style ain’t no season

My baby loves me

One breath at a time

I’m less of a stallion more like a mule

Tired of carrying round all of these rules

More of a monk than a libertine

A bad American but I’m never mean

I don’t keep no cares about that

I don’t have to be aware about that

Don’t even give a little thought about that

’Cause my baby girl says it ain’t about that

She’s got a love that’s all old school

She’s got a love with no time for a fool

My baby loves me

One breath at a time

Ain’t no rhyme ain’t no reason

Ain’t no style ain’t no season

My baby loves me

One breath at a time
