Kenny Rogers & Dottie West – Anyone Who Isn’t Me Tonight Lyrics

When you made love to me tonight
I felt as if I’d died and gone to heaven
And if that’s how it feels to die
Then lay me in your arms I’m thru with livin’
I’ll get down on my knees and thank the good lord up above
That I’m the lucky girl you chose to love.

[Chorus:]
And I feel sorry for anyone who isn’t me tonight
So if you think I’m braggin’, well you’re right
Your love has sent me flyin and I’m higher than a kite
And I feel sorry for anyone who isn’t me tonight.

You’ve got the kind of body
That was made to give a man alot of pleasure
And what you’re giving me tonight
Is more than anything on earth can measure
Every inch of you that’s woman makes me that much more a man
I’ve just about enjoyed all that I can stand.

[Chorus 2x]
