Pure Prairie League - Aime
The song Amie by Pure Prairie League is a classic country rock track written by the band's co-founder, Craig Fuller, and originally recorded for their 1972 album Bustin' Out.
It was released as a single in 1975 after gaining popularity on radio, leading to RCA Records re-signing the band.
The song peaked at #27 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and #20 on the US Adult Contemporary chart.
The lyrics express the singer's indecision and emotional struggle in a relationship, captured in the repeated question, "Amie, what you wanna do?".
The song features subtle acoustic guitar and lilting harmonies, earning praise from critics as a quintessential example of 1970s country rock.
The title is spelled "Amie," not "Aimee," and the song is dedicated to Amy Pierce from Newark, Ohio.
It has been covered by artists including Counting Crows, Garth Brooks, and The Wesley Willis Fiasco.
Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
I can see why you think you belong to me
I never tried to make you think or let you see
One thing for yourself
But now you're off with someone else and I'm alone
You see, I thought that I might keep you for my own
[Chorus]
Amie, what you wanna do?
I think I could stay with you
For a while, maybe longer if I do
[Verse 2]
Don't you think the time is right for us to find
All the things we thought weren't proper could be right in time?
And can you see which way we should turn, together or alone?
I can never see what's right or what is wrong
Oh, you take too long to see
[Chorus]
Amie, what you wanna do?
I think I could stay with you
For a while, maybe longer if I do
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Chorus]
Well, Amie, what you wanna do?
I think I could stay with you
For a while, maybe longer if I do
[Verse 3]
Now it's come to what you want, you've had your way
And all the things you thought before just faded into gray
And can you see that I don't know if it's you or if it's me?
If it's one of us, I'm sure we both will see
Won't you look at me and tell me
[Chorus]
Amie, what you wanna do?
I think I could stay with you
For a while, maybe longer if I, longer if I do, yeah, now
Amie, what you wanna do?
I think I could stay with you
For a while, maybe longer if I do
[Outro]
I keep falling in and out of love with you
Falling in and out of love with you
Don't know what I'm gonna do
I keep falling in and out of love with you
