“Keep On Loving You”, REO Speedwagon’s first of two number one hits in the US, was described by frontman Kevin Cronin as “the most painful song I ever wrote”.

[Verse 1]
You should've seen by the look in my eyes, baby
There was something missing
You should've known by the tone of my voice, maybe

[Pre-Chorus]
And I meant, every word I said
When I said that I love you

[Chorus]
And I'm gonna keep on loving you

[Chorus]

'Cause it's the only thing I wanna do
I don't wanna sleep
I just wanna keep on loving you
Baby, I'm gonna keep on loving you
'Cause it's the only thing I wanna do
I don't wanna sleep
I just wanna keep on loving you
