![]() Rumours (1977) [ larger cover art ] |
I don't want to know the reasons why
Love keeps right on walking on down the line
I don't want to stand 'tween you and love, honey
I just want you to feel fine
I don't want to know the reasons why
Love keeps right on walking on down the line
I don't want to stand 'tween you and love, honey
I just want you to feel fine
Finally, baby
The truth has come down now
Take a listen to your spirit
It's crying out loud
Trying to believe
Oh, you say you love me, but you don't know
You got me rockin' and a-reelin'
Oh, yeah
Ah...
I don't want to know the reasons why
Love keeps right on walking on down the line
I don't want to stand 'tween you and love, honey
I just want you to feel fine
I don't want to know the reasons why
Love keeps right on walking on down the line
I don't want to stand 'tween you and love, honey
I just want you to feel fine
Finally, baby
The truth has been told
Now you tell me that I'm crazy
It's nothing that I didn't know
Trying to survive
Oh, you say you love me but you don't know
You got me rockin' and a-reelin'
Hey, you know what you do
Oh, yeah
Ah...
I don't want to know the reasons why
Love keeps right on walking on down the line
I don't want to stand 'tween you and love, honey
Take a little time
I... I don't want to know

| Lazarus (Bethany) | Posted: Feb 06, 2013 - 11:02 Everybody in my church be dancing... love it... |
| LPCity (Salt Lake City, Utah) | Posted: Feb 01, 2013 - 14:49 Such a great pop song. Beautiful harmonies and uplifting guitar playing from Mr. Buckingham. |

| tutakea | Posted: Dec 19, 2011 - 05:54 one of the rare albums which are getting better from year to year. when this came out i was disappointed. rumours being too much "pop" for my taste, then. but now it´s quite clear that "rumours" is among the best albums of all time, although it is (on the surface) so "light" and "easy listening". the magic must have something to do with the fact that the atmosphere within the group was so tense then that one wonders why everyone came out alive of this snake-pit... |

| Dave_Mack (Ball of Confusion) | Posted: Jul 14, 2011 - 15:27 This takes me right back to high school, sitting on the floor in my bedroom playing this album, hoping to get lucky I didn't, much. |
| ziakut (A place with air, water and chocolate.) | Posted: Apr 15, 2011 - 12:23 Glad to hear this instead of the tired 'mac' songs. Nice tune. |

| kyleminor (San Francisco) | Posted: Sep 01, 2010 - 16:47 AH! Now that is better. I suppose if I have to endure that annoying Michael Franti and Spearhead song for the nine-bajillionth time, at least you've saved my sanity with some awesome FM. All is forgiven Bill! ![]() |

| raindogt00 | Posted: Mar 31, 2010 - 11:05 Fun to hear a cut like at after the years have changed you. Yes, it's familiar but I'm hearing a totally different song now. Cool. |

I'm still playing it (pretty regularly) I suppose the only album I've played as often is "Remain in Light" Interesting combination. I remember first listening to Remain in Light, about a year after it came out, while visiting NYC for the first time. Mind-blowing. |

| glydev (Brooklyn, New York) | Posted: Nov 20, 2009 - 19:49 To think of the origins of this band, Peter Green playing "Jumping at Shadows" Danny Kirwain's "Dust".....and then this song? This really is hideous.... |
