Linda Hargrove - Love Was (once Around The Dance Floor) Lyrics

Well I was just eighteen and he looked like Steve McQueen
And I was pretty green and ripe for love
Well he took me out to bars we went parkin' in his car
And every night he showed me what love was

And love was once around the dance floor have another drink or two
Just before we left this local bar
Then love was once around the back seat of his souped up Chevrolet
Once around a dream and gone away

Well he was quite a lover and I didn't have another
For a while when he took away his love
Cause it's so hard to get used to doin' without what you're used to
And when he's gone you know just what love was

And love was once around the dance floor...

[ guitar ]
Looking back now I don't wonder if the lightning and thunder
I felt had anything to do with love
Cause there comes a time for learning when you learn while you are burning
And find that wasn't really what love was

And love was once around the dance floor...

Lve was once around the back seat of his souped up Chevrolet
Once around a dream and gone away
