Sobre el álbum
El álbum Love Or Something Like It, de 1978, muestra a un Kenny Rogers en la cima de su popularidad, explorando las diferentes facetas del amor con su característica mezcla de country, pop y soul. El título, "Amor o algo parecido", ya sugiere un enfoque honesto y a menudo agridulce sobre las relaciones sentimentales. Es un disco de una gran madurez lírica.
En primer lugar, la canción que da título al álbum, un dueto con la cantante de country Dottie West, es una pieza enérgica y divertida que se convirtió en un gran éxito. Este tema marcó el inicio de una exitosa serie de colaboraciones entre ambos artistas, que se convirtieron en una de las parejas más queridas del country.
El disco contiene la balada "We've Got Tonight", que aunque aquí no fue un single, se convertiría en un éxito masivo años después en su versión a dúo con Sheena Easton. Así pues, el álbum está repleto de canciones de una gran calidad, demostrando el infalible olfato de Kenny Rogers para elegir repertorio.
"Love Or Something Like It" es un trabajo excelente que lo consolida como el gran narrador de las historias del corazón, un disco que combina a la perfección el romance, la pasión y una pizca de realismo.

Letra
Show me a bar with a good looking woman Then just get out of my way Turn on the jukebox, I'll show you a song you should play Sooner or later a few shots of Bourbon And I'll think of somethin' to say Whoa, I can take her or leave her I'd like to take her away Liquor and music, a good combination If you've got love on the brain I never knew two women who acted the same Some want a drink first, and some want to just sit and talk Whoa, oh, it's two in the mornin' I'm running' and she wants to walk Something's got a hold on me It's cheap but it ain't free Love or somethin' like it's got a hold on me That's when I asked her, my place or your place I hope I'm not out of line I asked the wrong thing, but just the right woman this time She knew a hotel, she even had a name we could sign Whoa, oh, the cheaper the grapes are, the sweeter the taste of the wine Something's got a hold on me It's cheap but it ain't free Love or somethin' like it's got a hold on me Something's got a hold on me It's cheap but it ain't free Love or somethin' like it's got a hold on me Love or somethin' damn near like it's got a hold on me - There´s A Lot Of That Going Around2:41
- Buried Treasures3:17
Letra
As I'm walkin' behind this plow I keep turnin' over memories Buried treasure of a past once filled with you This old ground I know it's mine And I've worked it so many times And the rain it's been praying for Is falling from my eyes Waiting for the settin' sun When a hard day's work is done We'd sit down and rock the baby And plan our dreams But you turned it all around With this other man you found And you never thought I'd figure out your scheme And there's buried treasure Hidden in the ground Precious memories of a love That lived and died You couldn't be the simple wife You had to lead the cheatin' life And you led me down a road I hate to ride Now the neighbors they all knew They had seen him leave with you But what they didn't see Was I followed close behind And the next day's paper read That a man had been found dead And the lady he'd been seen with That can't find And there's buried treasure Hidden in the ground Precious memories of a love That lived and died You couldn't be the simple wife You had to lead the cheatin' life And you led me down a road I hate to ride As I'm walkin' behind this plow I keep turning over memories Buried treasure of a past once filled with you This old ground I know it's mine And I've worked it so many times And the rain it's been praying for Is falling from my eyes - Something About Your Song2:38

- We Could Have Been The Closest Of Friends3:11
Letra
There you are and here am I We are what we decided Alone behind a wall of pride Hopelessly divided We had so much together, baby What got into us How could we just call it quits We should have called for love We could have been the closest of friends We might have been the world's greatest lovers Now we're just without each other We could have been the closest of friends I could say you did me wrong You could say you didn't Or we could sit and hold our tongues And act like little children I could say you never really loved me And you could say the same But if it's really over then who cares who was to blame We could have been the closest of friends We might have been the world's greatest lovers Now we're just without each other We could have been the closest of friends We could have been the closest of friends We might have been the world's greatest lovers Now we're just without each other We could have been the closest of friends - I Could Be So Good For You2:58

Letra
Across the bay a lady waits to hold me tight, And my boat and I are ready to set sail. If the weather keeps on holdin' and the wind is right I'll be wrapped up in my sweet one's arms tonight. And we will sail away On the wings of love into the night Cast out our fortunes on the sea We'll go to sleep together With the rockin' of the water Dream of how our life will someday be When she sails away with me. As I slip across the waves my sails are high and full, My mind is on the one I wait to see. And I dream about an island somewhere in my mind, Where someday I will take her off with me. And we will sail away On the wings of love into the night Cast out our fortunes on the sea We'll go to sleep together With the rockin' of the water Dream of how our life will someday be When she sails away with me. Then a smile comes upon me as I look across the bow; I see the lady on the side. But she will wait no more as I head towards the shore, 'Cause tonight I'm gonna take her for a ride. - Even A Fool Would Let Go3:07
Letra
It's funny how love goes cause I know this would never work out But honey how love grows even though there's no reason to doubt This can never be you keep saying it's wrong Neither one of us is free still I wanna hold on. When even a fool would let go 'cause he knows that there's no use trying Even a child says no when he knows he'll end up crying Tell me now is it wise holding you when even a fool would let go. My love has no reason like the words in a song that don't rhyme My love got no season I just know that it's there all the time Maybe just you and me I can't believe that's wrong Talking about you and me makes me wanna hold on When even a fool would let go 'cause he knows that there's no use trying Even a child says no when he knows he'll end up crying Tell me now is it wise holding you when even a fool would let go. When even a fool would let go 'cause he knows that there's no use trying Even a child says no when he knows he'll end up crying Tell me now is it wise holding you when even a fool would let go. - Highway Flyer2:16
- Starting Again3:09
Letra
Pretending again I think we both know this is the end We can try it again But we better face it Losing again I know we both thought this time we'd win But you can't take thing and just erase it. Could it be we talked too long Maybe we should start off being friends And try it again. Could it be we both were wrong Maybe we should sing our song again And rewrite the end, start it again. Start it again Not looking for love, needing a friend And knowing inside it's gonna be better Laughing again And thinking how wrong we were back then We're happy again and this is forever. Now we know we both were wrong Aren't you g lad we sang our song again To rewrite the end and start it again. We start love, love, love Start it again.
