Featured Unknown/Underrated Song of the Rock Era: "Same Ole Love" by Anita Baker

With The Top 100 Female Artists of the Rock Era* special approaching, it's appropriate to feature a great lady in this category.  This is not only underrated, but highly so, only reaching #38 in 1986.  To think, you have to get out and drive on the same road as someone who ranked this at #38.  Be careful!

 

"Same Ole Love (365 Days a Year)

Anita Baker

Lyrics by Marilyn McLeod, Music by Darryl K. Roberts
 

Flashbacks of the times we've had
Some made us laugh some made us sad
We used to break up to make up
All the fun that came from those love games
Oh well, I think I need someone new
Oh, it just won't do, because I think about you baby

[Chorus:]
From beginning to end ,365 days of the year
I want your same ole' love
All I want to you is keep on loving you
I want your same ole' love

There's a reason I feel this way
All the things you do, well it might be the things that you say
Your love never changes
It's like a picture in a frame, and it remains the same

Your undying love for me
Oh it keeps me strong, keeps me holding on

[Chorus:]
From beginning to end, 365 days of the year
I want your same ole' love
All I want to do is share my life with you
I want your same ole' love

Slowly, love me
All is forsaken, I love the love we're making
Cause it's truly lovely
I'll never leave you, you'll know I need you baby

[Chorus: x2]
From beginning to end 365 days of the year
I want your same ole' love
All I want to do is share my life with you
I want your same ole' love
