Amy Grant - Love Can Do Lyrics






Who can say
Why she turned and walked away
I can't see
But she's gone away
Sometimes love
Means we have to stand and fight
Everybody runs
Everybody hides
No this ain't the movies
Now it's flesh and blood
And there's one thing I'm sure of

[Chorus:]
Hey little girl running out so fast
Gotta stay put for love to last
Why you gotta say
That love has gone away
It's not like that
Everybody hurts when the feelings fade
If you want 'em back
You know you gotta stay
No running
Love's coming back
Like only love can do

Love can do
Things you never thought it could
Mend a hurt so bad
Make you feel so good
Love's for fools
Wise enough to take a chance
Hear the music play
Let me see you dance
No this ain't the movies
Now it's give and take
And it's your heart at stake

[Chorus]

Hey little girl running so fast
Looking for the love you're sure will last
Why do you have to say it
Love has gone away
It's not like that
Love's not like that

[Chorus]

Amy Grant Love Can Do Comments
  1. N.... P....

    El Shaddai means God Almighty in Hebrew
    It comes from the Akkadian word shaddu which means mountain
    The Arabic word for mountain is sana
    Sana means thread of summer in Japanese
    Sana means eternity in Sanskrit
    The Ancient Jews believed that the earth(cosmos in Greek) was flat
    Albert Einstein modeled the cosmos with an infinite flat sheet of space/time
    A black hole is an infinite pit in space/time
    An infinite mountain in space/time would be an infinite white hole.
    Dark Energy and Dark Matter can be explained by finite quantum spinning white holes(tachyons) that exist for a few planck instances.
    Some scientists believe that the big bang was a white hole
    If God is an infinite white hole than the Father would be the infinite singularity of the white hole, the Son would be the infinite tachyon, and the Holy Spirit would be the infinite tachyonic wave(space)
    Space does not expand: The cosmos is shrinking while space is constant. This means that the speed of light is shrinking each planck instant in a way that makes it appear constant
    If the cosmos is shrinking then the density of energy is increasing.
    This means that all energy will become a black hole because of Schwarzschild radius
    The beginning of the big bang had 0 entropy which means 100% of the universe was light
    The universe now has less than 5% light
    Conclusion the 3 dimensional cosmos is inbetween an infinite infinitely dimensional white hole and an infinite 0 dimensional black hole.
    Good does not need evil to exist
    Black Holes are not eternal because of Hawking radiation
    If you don't abide in Jesus Christ you will be deleted
    You have the choice to be loved everlastingly or to suffer infinite entropy as your last memory that seems forever because 0 time is eternal to a tachyon
    Please choose the Perfect Agape of God.

    What is being said when we hear people mumbling in this?

  3. L.... S....

    2019 bring it!

  4. A.... W....

    Keep writing and singing christian music your a good artist

  5. K.... H....

    Wow. I'm surprised at the comments. The judgemental ones I mean. The only people who really know what went on, are the ones involved. But just from listening to the lyrics in her songs, it sounds to me like Amy really tried. Maybe she wasn't perfect and did stuff wrong, but we all do that. The only real difference is that she was in the limelight. Anyway her personal life doesn't make the song lyrics any less true. I love this song.

  6. J.... W....

    Better than most Christian artists. The devil must have all the good artists. LOL.

  7. S.... M....

    How is her divorce even an issue? Amy is a singer, songwriter, and musician and that is what is important. What she does with her own life is her own business, just as it is with any non- celebrity.

  8. s.... ....

    God Bless Our musicians! God Bless amy Grant! Do Not Throw Stones At Her!

  9. D.... E....

    The song always brings me to tears

  10. N.... M....

    Thanks for sharing this. The Collection was the very first cassette I ever owned. It takes me back to 7 year old me listening to my Walkman.

    N.... M....

    That's pretty cool 😎

  11. R.... C....

    The way I look at it,divorce is a last option,if it's a bad relationship then yes you need a divorce and find someone else.I'm all for making a marriage or relationship work

    R.... C....

    I completely understand your thoughts. I was there. Raised Christian. Went through divorce. Try to step outside and see the reality. God forgives. Most of all God loves us! Things happen, we don't plan on it... we perceiver!

  12. M.... P....

    Hey! I am a dude and were not a Christian when I first started listening to Amy Grant. But I always loved just the teaching method of her songs, no matter that they were Christian, it just were good to hear songs that were about a normal existence experienced about in a real way. Something a kid today and a kid like me from many years back can still enjoy, without all the heavy wicked crap.

    M.... P....

    Dude shut up. You sound so dumb. the "normal existence" the "real way." Yup, I bet you voted for that pedo Trump didn't ya. When did you start supporting him before the second wife or the third while he was cheating on the second...THE REAL WAY. smmFH.

    LyricsWho can say why she turned and walked away
    I can't see but she's gone away
    Sometimes love means we have to stand and fight
    And everybody runs, everybody hides
    No this ain't the movies
    Now it's flesh and blood
    And this one thing I'm sure of
    Hey you little girl running out so fast
    Gotta stay put for love to last
    Why you gotta say
    That love has gone away
    It's not like that
    Everybody hurts when the feelings fade
    If you want 'em back you know you gotta stay
    No running and loves coming back
    Like only love can do
    Love can do things you never thought it could
    Mend a hurt so bad, make you feel so good
    Loves for fools, wise enough to take a chance
    Hear the music girl, let me see you dance
    No, this ain't the movies
    Now it's give and take
    And it's your heart at stake
    Hey you little girl running out so fast
    Gotta stay put for love to last
    Why you gotta say
    That love has gone away
    It's not like that
    Everybody hurts when the feelings fade
    If you want 'em back you know you gotta stay
    No running, and loves coming back
    Like only love can do
    Get outta my yard
    Hey you little girl running out so fast
    Yeah, yeah looking for the love you're sure will last
    Why do you have to say it?
    Love has gone away, it's not like that
    Loves not like that
    Everybody hurts when the feelings fade
    If you want 'em back you know you gotta stay
    No running, and loves coming back
    Like only love can do
    Hey you little girl running out so fast
    Gotta stay put for love to last
    Why you gotta say

    Hey you little girl running out so fast

    Why you gotta say
    That love has gone away
    It's not like that, no
    Everybody hurts when the feelings fade
    If you want 'em back you know you gotta stay
    No running, for loves coming back
    Coming back to stay

    it is easy to judge when you are not walking in someone else's shoes. If Amy aired all the dirty laundry it would hurt her kids same with Vince Gill.She tried and so did Vince but there was alot of gargabe going on.

    n.... ....

    Your a fucking idiot

    love Amy G!! Glad she found the marital happiness that was always predestined for her!! idky you "christian" hypocrites always wanna over-judge, over scrutinize the woman and you're silent to Mens "eons & eons" of adultery. the silence is deafening. who wants a God like this if he's for all these double-standards. Surely no woman should wanna be w/a man or a God for that matter who's "will" is for her to always get the short end of the stick & be screwed over, while men get away w/murder, adultery, multiple kids, etc...& there's zero accountability! quit w/all the judging crap. look in the mirror if you wanna condemn somebody to hell, I'm sure you've got enough skeletons in your closets to send everyone on earth to hell & back 10 times over!

    u.... ....

    Amy Grant didn't do anything wrong in God's eyes. A marriage appearing on the books and then on the rocks hurts EVERYONE. This is possibly the most serious difficulty a person can have. Thanks for saying what you feel, but it is Christian (the Christ) to be happy for Amy Grant and to be for her happiness no matter what may be happening around her. It is true, however, it is only Christian as you say to bring mercy and compassion into the lives of others where there is difficulty...not useless criticism. God is for us each and in every way. Amy Grant's music saved my life...I'm a male. I could not believe a female could really love God and love me too. Then came Amy Grant...like a blast furnace of love from God. I had always craved agape love from females on such a deep level, having two sisters with whom I longed to share God's love, mostly because of church. Well, Amy Grant, by being faithful to God, made it possible for me to see (hear) that anyone loving God was loving me too. From the first time I heard her music, I was completely STUNNED. Couldn't believe there was such a thing as Amy Grant or this music...inspired and edifying in the deepest Christian sense. It was treasure to a bankrupt soul from the first note. I listened for hours on end every day and for months. In the end, I was set free from so many misconceptions about love and God's love, and I received the double blessing of learning the depths of God's love and character in ways I never imagined I would. Yes, I FELT so loved after a girl friend gave me some tapes from her. As a result, I will never quit thanking God for the way He used my friend or Amy Grant to do this for me. This is the second greatest miracle of my life. I can love females and know they love me, too, simply by knowing of their Christian faithfulness and obedience to God...

    To all of you who keep bashing Amy for remarrying, I have two remarks...

    1) Check yourself first. Examine your own motives for even caring about this, and be brutally honest with your own heart.

    2) Get your facts straight, instead of listening to the tabloids. Amy & Vince did an interview with Larry King a few years back, explaining how things actually turned out.

    M.... ....

    I'd also like to add-Remember Jesus said to he who hath not sinned may cast the first stone.  I am 100% certain that not one person making any comments about Amy remarrying will be casting the first-or any-stones. 

    M.... ....

    @Moviefan2k4 Yes. Not even an angel can judge Amy Grant.

    M.... ....

    Moviefan2k4 you're my best friend

    To whoever said Michael W Amith helped her - he did.  Discogs entry for the Uk album release here - http://www.discogs.com/Amy-Grant-The-Collection/release/1526630

  18. R.... K....

    lets remember people neither god nor jesus wrote the bible mankind did and its flawed in many ways. who knows what they wanted only they can say not man

    R.... K....

    Men wrote it down, but they didn't make it up out of thin air. There's tons of actual history backed up by Scripture, in both Testaments.

    R.... K....

    Mr. Gibson, From you remark I think you'd be interested in reading a book titled "DNA of the Gods". It reveals a lot of truth behind the Bible. If you're interested, it's sold on Amazon. (But then what isn't?)

  19. D.... J....

    This is a good song

  20. W.... ....

    I wasn't even alive when this song came out!! I remember listening to this album when I was 6 or 7, how is it that i still remember every word?? lol

  21. K.... A....

    divorce is only an option if its a last resort. she could have stayed and tried to make it work but she didn't. she wanted her own way because she didn't love him anymore. there are just so many things wrong with the whole situation that I don't wanna get into, but she should not have sung this song saying one thing and then doing the opposite

  22. J.... R....

    Also, she had kids to think about. Did they want her to divorce their father???

    The Bible does allow you to separate from your mate if you can't live with them, but you cannot remarry. If you do, that's adultery. It's obvious that Amy's remarriage was sinful, and in fact I don't believe that God even recognizes such adulterous marriages.

    J.... R....

    Why don't you mind your own fucking business you pathetic turd.

  23. J.... R....

    Gary has claimed that he never physically abused Amy, and she hasn't claimed he did either. It does sound like he was a jerk in many ways, but from what I can tell, there are millions of other women out there who have worse marriages than Amy Grant did but stay with their husbands. Besides, if her marriage was so "unbearable," why did she stick with it for 17 years? And why did she wait until she had someone else "lined up" on the other side before leaving? (cont'd)

    J.... R....

    Jason R. k

    Mason R.

  24. R.... ....

    i'm willing to bet Michael W. Smith helped write this song...

  25. d.... ....

    Amy's marriage to Gary was a painful one indeed. One of her friends said she was handling the situation more gracefully than anybody else. Sometimes, divorce is the answer when you have to make drastic measures to be sane. Yes, God hates divorce, but sometimes it is the answer when somebody refuses to get along with the other.

  26. J.... R....

    I am a fan of Amy Grant.

  27. O.... L....

    dang i forgot this song blast from the past!

  28. H.... M....

    @muffygirlshop
    Amen to that.

  29. H.... M....

    @728chrismorris
    Yeah me too. My mom bought me these songs on tape and I wore out ALL the copies I had. Love it so much!!!

  30. Y.... ....

    I love this song. Love Can Do is one of my favorite songs on this CD. I've been looking for this song for awhile.

  31. C.... H....
