You give me a sign, you give me a lift
Take me home when I'm done my shift
You give me a loan when I'm stone cold broke
Get me high when I need a toke

I was born to love
I was born to
I was born to love
I was born to

Times were tough, we made it through
We tasted the rough, so let's savor the smooth
All the time I was hurting you
Got to believe that I was hurting, too

I was born to love
I was born to
Born to love
I was born to

You're the only one I can talk to
The only one I can really read
I know you give because you want to
Don't you think it's time you learn to let yourself receive?

Could make you smile, could make you sing
Just want to give back a little bit of what you've give to me
I could sing you a song, play you a tune
I know it's just a little thing, but it's something I can do

I was born to love
I was born to
I was born to love
I was born to

I was born to love you
I was born to love you

Looking on this cover I'm willing to make an anouncement: I'm looking for a tube receiver by The Fisher, 400, chassis only. Running condition, but to refurbish with parts they offer on ebay. Tubes not necessary. Monetary exchange and shipping must be discussed, but I do know what it's worth it!

Having fallen off the Ray LaMontagne wagon a decade ago, I listened to a minute of this thinking it was one of his mid-2010s cuts. I'm happy he's doing the same thing, but I guess I expected some evolution.

This was always good and inoffensive Gen-X/millennial cooking dinner/drinking wine background music.

Holy cow... I guess I wasn't imaging that I was hearing this song every other day.

Love the reel-to-reel! The Akai portable that my father brought home from Southeast Asia in 1971 is safely ensconced in a waterproof tote in a friend's shed, still working a couple of years ago last I checked. Dad's singing is somewhere in that tote, literally.

I saw the title "I Was Born To Love You," and my brain immediately went to Caddyshack: the scene where Chevy Chase was at the electric piano singing to Lacy Underalls.

I was boooorrrn to love you,
I was boooorrrn to lick your face,
I was boooorrrn to rub you,
but you were born to rub me first.

Some artists with a lack of inspiration become schmaltzy.

Ty Webb rip-off


I was born to love you 
I was born to lick your face
I was born to rub you, but you were born to rub me first... What do you say we take this out on the patio?



Where do I find Ty Webb's gem?

Disagree. Ouroboros and Supernova albums have a completely different style and sound and shows Ray demonstrating a much wider vocal range.



OMG - me too...  Ouroboros his collab with Jim James was fucking amazing.  It's was his Dark Side I think.

Should be followed up by “I Was Made For Loving You”, I’d say.

Ray hasn't evolved or added much over the years...not sure that this inspires the interest that his earlier albums created.  The dangers of having a distinct sound...keep dropping the bucket into the same well and you keep getting the same water...after a while folks might like a soda or a beer...

I disagree, although his voice is very distinct, he has explored some pretty diverse music styles on his last the or four albums. The voice is the same but the music is very different. Sunny pychedelia, moody prog, blues. He tried a little of it all. To playing, I might add

I don't what the date is where you are but it is 5/16/2022 where I am . I think it must a time dilatation not 06/25/2022


The date is album release date, not single release date. Its common for a single to be released first.

The date is correct.  That is when the album comes out.
