Well we found a life together and it's a gonna last forever
Nothing can hurt me now cause you are mine
We put away all of our sadness we're walking every day with gladness
You and me together all the time
Well she wants to love me a little bit better it's okay I'm gonna let her
When he holds me I can feel he's hard giving love's true and real
Oh now we got a little bitty baby we're happy and we don't mean maybe
You and me together all the time
[ steel ]
Well we'll build a little house in the country and we'll go to church every Sunday
We got each other and we don't need a thing
We start every day with a sweet kiss and that's one thing we wouldn't miss
You and me together making life sweet
Well she wants to love me...
You and me together all the time
He can turn the tides and calm the angry sea;
He alone decides who writes a symphony;
He lights every star that makes the darkness bright;
He keeps watch all through each long and lonely night;
He still finds the time to hear a child's first prayer;
Saint or sinner calls and always finds him there.
Though it makes him sad to see the way we live,
He'll always say, "I forgive."
He can grant a wish or make a dream come true;
He can paint the clouds and turn to gray the blue;
He alone is there to find a rainbow's end;
He alone can see what lies beyond the bend;
He can touch a tree and turn the leaves to gold;
He knows every lie that you and I have told.
Though it makes him sad to see the way we liv,
He'll always say, "I forgive."
Good lovin' keeps a home together good lovin' sure can make it right
If you ever wanna be without him it means lovin' everything about him
That keeps your man around you tight
It takes a whole lotta women to hold it together today
Cause a lot of other women have a whiole lotta time to play
You gotta be saint on Sunday morning a devil on Saturday night
And when you love him do it right
Cause she's around at corner a wrapped in fur
And you've got to be just a little bit better than her
A little bit sweeter with morning kisses a whole lot warmer in the night
With a whole lotta good lovin' to make everything alright
Good lovin' keeps a home together...
If you don't believe what I'm tellin' you is so
Put your man right down the street and watch him go
Right to the arms of a woman who couldn't even hold you a light
When a lotta good lovin' would've made everything alright
If you don't believe...
Yeah a lotta good lovin' would've made everything alright
My man understands, he holds me in the palm of his hand and
I like it ,I like it.
He's a dream, the real thing ,he always makes me feel like a queen
and I love it, I love it.
His arms, are warm, they keep me away from harm and I'm proud of it ,so proud of it.
He's mine, he's fine, he makes a funny feeling go up my spine
And I wanna keep it like this all the time.
He's got what I want,when I want it ,he's got what I need,when I need it,
I'd fight a million, just to keep it,Just to keep on holding to the precious love he gives me
How I hate, to sit and wait ,when I know he's got to work late
I can't stand it, can't stand it.
But when, he walks in ,and I'm in his lovin' arms again
I forget it ,I.... forget it.
His touch, is too much, he knows how to love me just enough
and I love him, I love him.
My man, understands ,he holds me in the palm of his hand
And I wanna keep it like this, all the time.
He's got what I want ,when I want it,He got what I need, when I need it, I'd fight a million, just to keep it. Just to keep on holding to the precious love he gives me.
My man understands, he holds me in the palm of his hand
And I wanna keep it like this all the time,
Yeah I wanna keep it like this all the time.
Well here we are again tonight alone just us two
Where the lights are dim and true love is coming through
There's no one else in this whole world as far as we're concerned
We built ourselves a fire so let it burn
When you look at me like you do right now I go to pieces
Because I know what's on your mind it's just me
You've got that love-me-look in your eyes like you've had so many time and how
Loving you could never be better than it is right now
Tomorrow night we'll meet again to once more fan the flame
Cause loving you the way I do stays the same
This love of ours is just as strong as any vow could be
And love could never be better for you and me
When you look at me...
Loving you could never be better than it is right now
Bonnie was a waitress in a small cafe Clyde Barrow was a rounder that took her away
They both robbed and killed until both loved and died
So goes the legend of Bonnie and Clyde
The poem that she wrote of the life that they led
Told of the lawmen left dying or dead
Some say that Clyde made her life a shame
But the legend made Bonnie the head of the game
The rampage grew wilder with each passing day
The odds growing smaller with each get-a-way
With the end growing closer the harder they fought
With blood on their hands they were bound to get caught
[ guitar ]
They drove back from town on one bright summer day
When a man they be-friended stopped out in the way
With no thought of dying they pulled to the side
But death lay there waiting for Bonnie and Clyde
Two years of running was ended that day for robbing and killing they both had to pay
But we'll always remember how they lived and died
So goes the legend of Bonnie and Clyde (Bonnie and Clyde) Bonnie and Clyde
It's nothing new for a woman to love her man
Yes I know familiar story I know you'll understand
And I've been loving you a long long time
So I'll make you a promise I won't change my mind
And you'll never be alone never broken hearted
If you think I love you now I've just started
Too many times people break each other's heart
By making vows that so quickly fall apart
So as long as you want me by your side
I'll be your woman your lover and I'll keep you satisfied
And you'll never be alone...
Well you thought I'd be waitin' up when you come home last night
You'd been out with all the boys and you ended up half tight
But liquor and love that just don't mix leave a bottle or me behind
And don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind
No don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind
Just stay out there on the town and see what you can find
Cause if you want that kind of love well you don't need none of mine
So don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind
[ guitar - steel ]
You never take me anywhere because you're always gone
And many a night I've laid awake and cried dear all alone
And you come in a kissin' on me it happens every time
No don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind
No don't come home a drinkin'...
No don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind
(Dearly beloved we are gathered together in the presence of God and these witnesses
To join this man and this woman in the bonds of holy matrimony
Do you Tammy take this man George to be your lawfully wedded husband
To love and to cherish until death do you part)
I'll take this man and by him I'll stand I promise that we'll never part
To him I'll be true there'll be no one new from now till death do us part
(And do you George take this woman Tammy to be your lawfully wedded wife
To love and to cherish until death do you part)
Yes I'll take this woman she'll be mine forever and I'll love her with all of my heart
To have and to hold my love won't grow cold I promise till death do us part
We'll take each other from this day forward together in sickness or health
United with love we'll face life together if we're poor or if we have wealth
For better or worse you'll always come first and no one can keep us apart
Yes we take each other forsaking all others together till death do us part
(I now pronounce you man and wife)
I follow angel but angels follow the sun I follow angel run angel run angel run
Go your way have your day right or wrong sing your song
But angel take me along but angel take me along
I need you angel and I'll follow you to the sun
I love you angel but run angel run angel run
Go your way have your day...

George Jones & Tammy Wynette
Darling, I've loved you all of these years
And you've never once caused the heartbreak or tear
Without you to love me oh what would I do
It's been a beautiful life loving you.
And darling, I love you more every day
And I'll stand beside you each step of the way
You've made it heaven, my dreams have come true
It's been a beautiful life loving you.
If ever I need you, you're always there
Life is much sweeter knowing you care
Always together till life is through
Arms wouldn't you like to hold her
Don't you know she'd feel so warm right next to you
Lips wouldn't you like to kiss her or would you tell her lies the way you used to do
But it's all over over all except the loneliness that gets to you somehow
Over over might as well admit that it's all over now
Eyes wouldn't you like just to see him walk through that door and end this lonely night
Heart wouldn't you like to start living
And know for sure that things would turn out right
But it's all over over...
Hello, who's speaking? Mama, I didn't think it was you
I've had a hard time reaching you
Now mama, don't start crying, don't worry, I'm all right you see
You know, how he's mistreated me
If I'd stayed at home, what would people say?
After all that's happened it doesn't matter anyway
Mama, your little girl gets lonely in a big old town like this
I wish, I had my teddy bear to sleep with
But mama, how are you? Yes, I'll call you in a week or so
My time is up, I'll have to go
Don't be careless with you darling if you love him don't let him down
If you're faithful he won't leave you lost and wasted the way I am
Walk softly on the bridges that you're crossing
Don't break his heart then cry cause it won't mend
Be careful not to slam the door behind you
You may need to knock upon his door again
When temptation flirts and whispers come and taste my lips they're sweet as wine
If you weaken you'll be chatin' on your own heart like I did mine
Walk softly on the bridges...
I hear footsteps slowly walking as they gently walk across a lonely floor
And a voice that's softly saying darling this will be goodbye forever more
There goes my reason for living there goes the one of my dreams
There goes my only possesion there goes my everything
[ steel ]
As my mem'ry turns back the pages I can see the happy years we had before
And the love that kept this cold heart beating
Has been shattered by the closing of a door
There goes my reason for living...
See our baby on the swing hear her there hear her sing
Knowing that she came from me fills my heart with joy to be a woman
See her daddy with our child hear his laughter see him smile
Sharin' all his love with me fills my heart with joy to be a woman
I thank God each and every night for he's given me the right
To know love to give love and to be loved
And with every passing day my love grows strong in every way
And I found the joy of being a woman
See our baby on the swing...
To be a woman to be a woman to be a woman
Tonight at nine we get married
Friends all say it's a shame and disgrace
That he's loved every woman in Jackson
But Jackson ain't a very big place
Tomorrow we'll go walking
I'll count each one with a tear on her face
Then I'll know just how many think I'm lucky
'Cause Jackson ain't a very big place
Yes, Jackson is a mighty small town
Where gossips and rumors go round
But the gossips are the ones he turned down
And Jackson ain't a very big town
Yes, Jackson is a mighty small town
Where gossips and rumors go round
But the gossips are the ones he turned down
Darling let me spend a moment with you I want both of us to share what's on my mind
There's been a change in you and I'm so happy
For I haven't been this happy all the time
There's been something in your past and now it's dying
It kept you from loving me all this time
I can tell that she don't worry you any longer
And after all these years you're really mine
Cause your love's been a long time coming all the hurt just turned to loving
And I'll take it before it's not too late
It took a long time to work it out now it's here and there's no doubt
Your love's been a long time coming but it's here to stay
It took a long time to work it out...
I've never seen the inside of a Bar Room
Or listened to a Juke box all night long
But I see these are the things
that bring you pleasure
So I'm gonna make some changes in our home
Well I've heard it said if you can't beat 'em join 'em
so if that's the way you wanted me to be
Well if it takes that to keep you happy
From now on you're gonna see a different me
Chorus
Because your good girl's gonna go bad
I'm gonna be the swinginest swinger
you've ever had
If you like 'em painted up, powdered up,
then you oughta be glad
'cos your good girl's gonna go bad
I'll even learn to like the taste of whisky
In fact you'll hardly recognise your wife
I'll buy some brand new clothes and dress up fancy
For my journey to the wilder side of life
Chorus
Because your good girl's gonna go bad
I'm gonna be the swinginest swinger you ever had
If you like 'em painted up, powdered up
Then you oughta be glad 'cos your good girl's gonna go bad
Oh yea your good girl's gonna go bad
When you walk through a storm hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of the storm is a golden sky and the sweet silver song of a lark
Walk on through the wind walk on through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on walk on with hope in your heart and you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone
Walk on walk on...
Well here I sit there you go again I've taken as much of this as I can stand
All I ever hear is what you're gonna do but what I want most I never get from you
I need a man to stay at home with me a man that'll give me love and the kind I need
You ain't gonna keep on treatin' me like you do
So listen close it's the last time I tell you
Well you can't hang on to me just a lookin' on
You gotta give a woman love that's strong
You gotta kiss me in the mornin' a squeeze me at night
Do a good job make everything all right
You gotta love me strong and love me long you'll find out that your baby's goin' wrong
If you got any feelin' for this woman at home you can't hang on lookin' on
[ guitar ]
Well you can't hang on to me...
Yes if you got any feelin' for this woman at home you can't hang on lookin' on
Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here yo stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Suddenly I'm not half the girl I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh, yesterday came suddenly
Why did he have to go I don't know he wouldn't say
I said something wrong now I long for yesterday
Yesterday love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Yearning to be with the one I can't agree with yearning to hear you call my name
Like a fool I left you and now I can't forget you please forgive me take me back again
I'll never be the same without you darling you'll always be my everything
Now I'm yearning to kiss you oh darling how I miss you
I wish that we could make commance sweetheart
[ steel ]
Yearning to hold you and let my arms unfold you yearning to hear you call my name
Yearning to kiss you oh darling how I'll miss you oh how I wish you felt the same
I never knew how much you cared about me I thought you were foolin' me
Oh how I wish you felt the same
(Earl Montgomery - J. Tidwell)
I'll try to write this letter dear, the best I can
Although I haven't heard from you in quite a while
I'm doing just fine, no complications at this time
For you'd like to know that I'm with child.
I'll send this letter to the last address you gave
Hoping that the news you heard will make you smile
There's a list of names enclosed, hope you'll like the one I chose
Don't be afraid to know that I'm with child.
Our friends came by last night and gave me shower
The tiny clothes were all the latest style
These beauties you should see and they'll fit to T
Our friends were proud to know that I'm with child.
My prayer is that you'll soon be home
And that this child in me is strong
When I met him he was lonely from a love that went wrong
And I helped him to forgive about the life he have known
And I gave him the courage to start over again
Yes it's funny how people change when true love steps in
And when I met her she was looking for a true and good time
And when she found out someone cared it changed her ways in her mind
And then I asked her to go with me I didn't care where she'd been
Ain't it funny how people change when true love steps in
True love stepped in and I know it will last
If we live for tomorrow and forget about the past
For the first time in a long time we're happy again
Yes it's funny how people change when true love steps in
Yes it's funny how people change when true love steps in
This world that we are livin' in has seen its better days
Jesus said he would return and I believe he's on his way
You better change your way of livin' I hope your soul is saved
If you want to go with Jesus on that judgement day
When Gabriel makes his trumpet sound what beautiful sight
I hope your name is written down in the book of life
If you don't have salvation and you've never learned to pray
You can't go with Jesus on that judgement day
When Jesus comes to take his children home sweet home
To beautiful mansion in the sweet by and by
We'll cross the Jordan river singin' a song
When Jesus comes to take his children home
When Jesus comes...
When Jesus comes to take his children home
We sure can love each other when we try just like in all the love songs when we try
And some nights I love you so much content to be beside you
And when I finally close my eyes the sun is high
But we sure can hurt each other when we try
We know all the ways to make each other cry
But when we forget compassion and to forgive is too old fashioned
We've let everything worth having pass us by
But we sure can love each other when we try
And I know we'll need each other till we die
And we'll grow old together you and I cause we sure can love each other when we try
Yes we sure can love each other when we try
Well we love to teach about and we love to preach about
We love to sing about our Jesus
All done on our knees and pray and thinking in our special way
We love to sing about our Jesus
We love to talk about we love to read about we love to shout about our Jesus
Praise him for his precious name and and for what tomorrow brings
We love to sing about our Jesus
[ guitar ]
With our songbook in our hands all together let a stand
Let's all keep singing bout our Jesus
Day we need him even more that we ever had before
Let's all keep singing bout our Jesus
We love to talk about...
We love to talk about we love to shout about we love to sing about our Jesus
The places where we used to meet we go togehter
Step by step like shoes on the feet we go together
Just like the sand out in the sea what good is sugar if you have no tea
What good're you if you don't have me we go together
That old feeling we used to get even feels better
There was a girl you made me forget the day I met her
Just like the tears in a baby's eyes just like the stars up in the sky
Like icecream and an apple pie we go together
We go together like the storm and rain just like the fire that needs the flame
Just like the picture needs the frame we go together
We go together like the moon and June just like the fork needs the spoon
Just like the song that needs the tune we go together
[ guitar ]
We go together
[ guitar ]
We go together
Yeah the places where we used to meet...
We go together like the storm and rain...
We watch the friends we know break and drift apart
And we heard them say too much that hurts and breaks a heart
But that just seems to draw us both closer together for we believe in each other
You're happy just having pennies when we know a primise gold
But the rougher rolling ways are tighter we both hold
We laugh at rainy bad times and wait for sunny weather cause we believe in each other
We believe in each other and where you go darling I will go
Yes we believe in each other and it's all because we love each other so
We believe in each other
There are so many ways to love a man and so many things to understand
And if there ever comes a time you decide to change your mind
I'll need a way to hold you and I can cause I'll know all the ways to love a man
But there's so many ways to lose a man so quickly he can slip through your hands
One little thing goes wrong then all at once he's gone
I'd have no way to hold him like I planned
It takes more than just one way to love a man
With my hands my heart anything I can find my child my home my soul and my mind
I'll know that I can hold him yes I can if I know all the ways to love a man
You tell me you're thinking of leaving no I'm saying that our thing's gone wrong
But darling let's both talk it over I've been talking too much way too long
Oh we both gettin' nowhere at all but together we stand devided we fall
Together we stand devided we fall together there's love or there's no love at all
Oh where did you think we were going anyplace I could go would be wrong
But darling you know I'll be lonely I've been lonely too much way too long
Oh let's both try again and do all for together we stand devided we fall
For together we stand devided we fall
Don't the sun feel warm today don't our lives feel warm today
We have true love to be proud of
And we both understand it all and neither one demands it all
Cause we know how it feels to live on love
Don't the birds sing a lovely song don't our hearts sing a lovely song
There's only the good things to be thinking of
There's no trouble to be found strong enough to turn our world around
Cause we know how it feels to live on love
Yes we know how it feels just to wake up in the morning and be together every day
And to know we've been as close as two hearts could ever be
And there's more love on its way till it come to stay
Don't the wind feel good today and don't our smile look good on our face
Cause we know how it feels to live on love
Yes we know how it feels to live on love
This morning my little girl came up to my bed she was troubled and lonely I could see
I could tell she'd been cryin' her eyes were all red
And with her head on my pillow she said to me
I've got too many daddies a new one each night and mommy don't be mad when I say
Though I try to love them with all of my might still they just send me away
They give me dirty looks and dollys and dollars and dimes
But with all of my daddies none have a time
To stay with me and play with me like all daddies do
I've got too many daddies and they all just love you
I'll just keep on falling in love till I get it right
Right now I'm like a wounded bird hungry for the sky
But if I try my wings and try long enough I'm bound to learn to fly
So I'll just keep on falling in love till I get it right
My door to love has opened up more times than in
I'm either fool or wise enough to open it again
Cause I'll never know what's beyond that mountain till I reach the other side
So I'll just keep on falling in love till I get it right
If practice makes perfect then I'm near bout as perfect as I'll ever be in my life
So I'll just keep on falling in love till I get it right
Sometimes it's hard to be a woman
Giving all your love to just one man
You have bad times, and you have good times
Doing things that you don't understand
But if you love him, you'll forgive him
Even though he's hard to understand
And if you love him, oh be proud of him
'Cause after all, he's just a man
Stand by your man
Give him two arms to cling to
And something warm to come to
When nights are cold and lonely
Stand by your man
And show the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can
Stand by your man
Stand by your man
And show the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can
Sweet dreams of you, every night I, I go through
Why can't I forget you and start my life anew
Instead of having sweet dreams about you
You, you don't love me, it's plain
I should know I'll never wear your name
I, I should hate you the whole night through
Instead of having sweet dreams about you
Sweet dreams of you every night I, I go through
Why can't I stop loving you and find somebody new
Instead of having sweet dreams about you
If you can find it in your heart to just forgive
I'll come back and live the way you wanted me to live
All I want is just to be your girl
Please come and get me and take me to your world
Take me to your world away from barrooms filled with smoke
Where I won't have to serve a drink or hear another dirty joke
All I want is just to be your girl
Please come and get me and take me to your world
[ organ - piano ]
Take me to your world make me forget the things I've heard
Where people say I love you and love is not a dirty word
All I want is just to be your girl
Please come and get me and take me to your world
Fanny's washing the clothes, I know, think I'll give Mary Sue a call
I've cleaned the house there's nothing left to do
Gonna be another lonely night 'cause he's not here to hold me tight
The kids are on bed, my day is through
Sometimes I wonder if he still loves me, when it's come
He never fails to change my mind the minute, he gets home
That's when I feel it, his love the most
That's when he holds me, holds me so close
That's when I know it because he shows it, how much he loves me
Sometimes I wonder [unverified]
Take me home again tonight and love me
Cause there's no other place on earth I'd rather be
All my life I've never been this much in love with any man
And God knows I've been needin' here so long
The places where we always go they're fine with me but don't you know
That I'd rather be with you at home
So darling take me home again tonight and love me
Cause there's no other place on earth I'd rather be
You're everything I ever want to live for can't you see
Let's go home again tonight so you can love me
Take me home again tonight...
To make you stay I'll never try and when you go I will not cry
But for a time I might be found somewhere live still around
But may you find a love that's true someone to love and cherish you
And if you love your whole life through and may you love as I love you
But if you'll ever feel alone with no true love to call your own
And if you'll need a place to hide these arms of mine are open wide
And if a troubled love brings you pain my love is all like summer rain
Always remember I'll be found still around
[ organ ]
To make you stay I'll never try and when you go I will not cry
If you think you've had enough if you think our life's been rough
Why not take your love line off of me and set me free
If you think our love's all wrong and you feel the fire is gone
If I'm not what you'd like for me to be set me free
Set me free and let me fly like a bluebird fly in high
Release the chains that bind me to be set me free
But you can't likes to hold on onto love till it grows cold
And you held on much too long to me so set me free
Set me free and let me fly like a bluebird fly in high
Release the chains that bind me to be set me free set me free
Send me no roses please no more roses
Your roses can't hold me what I need most is you
Without fail everyday since you went away
The doorbell rings you're sending roses again
In my room all petals fall but darling that's not all
I read your card then a million tears began
Though the love we once knew still lives inside of you
The one who holds you now won't set you free
To see me you don't dare but roses say you care
Tell her goodbye then please return to me
But send me no roses please no more roses
Roses are red I know but to my tears they look blue
Send me no roses please no more roses
Your roses can't hold me what I need most is you
I've made many mistakes in my lifetime
The foolish things I've done have might been few
But the only thing I've ever done worth doing is all in love with you
I've wasted many a tear in my lifetime on foolish dreams that never could come true
But the only thing I've ever done worth doing is all in love with you
Because of you I changed my way of living because of you my lifetime changed a lot
The only thing worth having is worth giving the best of everything you've got
I've wasted many a day being lonely but now I know my lonely days are through
Cause the only thing I've ever done worth doing is all in love with you
Yes the only thing I've ever done worth doing is all in love with you
I just love that good old gospel singing I'll Fly Away's my favorite song
I just love that good old time religion this old world has gone without it much too long
Oh how I love to sing and tell when they ring those golden bells
And I just can't stand in one place when they sing Amazing Grace
I just love that good old country preaching
This old world has gone without it much too long
Yes I love them good old fashioned gathering where all of God's children came to pray
And oh how I really miss those old brush arbors
How I wish we had more of these days today
Oh how I love to sing and tell...
Some folks live like a king think they have everything
With great riches and treasures untold
Well we don't tell what they do but when our day is through
We've got love that would never grow cold
Never grow cold never grow cold our love will never grow cold
Never grow cold it will never grow cold our love will never grow cold
When my life here is through when they take me from you
When our earthly possessions are sold
They can have what we own still for me things are gone
We've got love that would never grow cold
Never grow cold...
My little girl was playing with her friend from down the street
She took her by the hand and said there's someone you should meet
And then they went into her room to play another game
She picked up all her dollys and told them all by name
I listened as she said their names here's Betty Sue and Kay
Jack and June and Mary Jo and then I've heard her say
This one is my Daddy Doll and she sat him on the floor
I make believe he's daddy since he don't live here no more
My daddy doll is always near to help put me to bed
He kisses me and says goodnight like my real daddy did
He talks with me and never failes to answer when I called
My Daddy Doll is special and I love him most of all
My Daddy Doll is special and I love him most of all
The baby cries I could almost die from lonesome
The late show's gone and the coffee's on think I'll read some
Somewhere out there my love you share and your thoughts are far from home
But when the lights on Broadway go off and every honky tonk is closed up
My arms stay open late so you'll come home
What you do is wrong but my love stays strong for you
I don't think I'll change a thing at all I might lose you
Though it's almost dawn and you're still not home I'll wait here patiently
The lights to my love never go off and the door to my heart don't close up
My arms stay open late so you'll come home
My arms stay open late so you'll come home
Well me and Jesus we got our own things going me and Jesus we got it all worked out
Me and Jesus we got our own things going
We don't need anybody to tell us what it's all about
Well I know a man that once was a sinner I know a man that once was a drunk
I know a man that once was a loser
He went out one day and made an altar right out of a stump
Me and Jesus...
Jesus brought me thruough all of my troubles
Jesus brought me through all of my trials
Yes Jesus brought me through all of my heartaches
And I know why my Jesus is gonna forsake me now
Cause me and Jesus...
We can't afford any fancy preaching we can't afford any fancy church
We can't afford any fancy singing
But you know Jesus got a lotta poor people out doing his work
Me and Jesus...
Me and Jesus...
I'm not the first to tell you that I need you but I waited and I tried to understand
Love's one thing they don't have that I can give you
And I love you every day the best I can
You run around looking for something different
But now you're home and I'm gonna treat you right
I'll learn all the ways if you'll just show me you're gonna see a change in me tonight
Take me and make me your kind of woman teach me lovin' words I need to say
Take my hand and guide me stay here close beside me
And I'll be the kind of woman who can keep your kind of man satisfied
And I'll be the kind of woman who can keep your kind of man satisfied
You still smile at me when I come home and you always
ask me how my day has been
You dry your face to make me feel there's nothing wrong
As we start another evening of return
You sit and wait for me to tell my usual lie at all
excuse to get away from home
And I help you with your coat and straighten up your tie
But as you leave I'm reaching for the phone
This is not a home it's a place where we change close
And walk the floor and wait and watch the clock
No it's not a home this is one of those situations
known as marriage on the rocks
You wait from nine to five pretending I'm at home
And yet you know I meet him secretly
How much longer must this game of decieve go on
We'd both be better off if we were free
No it's not a home this is one of those situations
May the good Lord bless and keep you whether near or far away
May you find that long awaited golden day today
May your troubles all be small ones and your fortune ten times ten
May the good Lord bless and keep you till we meet again
May you walk with sunlight shining and a bluebird in every tree
May there be a silver lining back of every cloud you see
Fill your dreams with sweet tomorrows never mind what might have been
May the good Lord bless and keep you till we meet again
May you walk with sunlight...
I know this house is the finest one around and we are both respected in our town
But our friends don't know the truth when they drop by
That our house is such a lovely place to cry
I keep my yard cut as close as it can be there's no litter laying round for one to see
And I know someday I'll tell this place goodbye
But till then it's sure a lovely place to cry
You don't need lonely things around you when you have no love left in you
And when you're already dead before you die
But someday someone will buy this place and be happy if they'll try
But for us it's been a lovely place to cry yes for us it's been a lovely place to cry
All alone here am I so lonely I could cry cause I'm longing to hold you again
Missing you is all I do I dream the whole day through
And I'm longing to hold you again
The world is cold the world is grey you took the sunshine away
You'll never know how empty my arms have been
Till once more you're close to me as close as we can be
I'll be longing to hold you again
[ piano ]
Till once more you're close to me...
I'm looking for that Lonely Street I've got a sad sad tale to tell
I need a place to go and weep where's this place called Lonely Street
A place where there's just loneliness where dim lights bring forgetfulness
Where broken dreams and mem'ries meet where's this place called Lonely Street
Perhaps upon that Lonely Street there's someone such as I
Who came to bury broken dreams and watch an old love die
Where I could find that Lonely Street where dim lights bring forgetfulness
Where broken dreams and mem'ries meet where's this place called Lonely Street
Where's this place called Lonely Street
A conversation caught my ear I wish I hadn't heard
My little boy said listen spot but don't you bark a word
Daddy's got a girl friend but he can't let mommy know
And night spot is when he's not here I bet that's where he goes
But listen spot I saw him wash the lipstick from his shirt
Then he told mom the car broke down and it was grease and dirt
But only lips can make red prints shake like an engine's blow
But listen spot that can't tell mom he don't want her to know
[ steel ]
So listen spot don't even bark it's time we got to sleep
We said our prayers and we prayed hard for daddy not to cheat
Let's play like it's a bond we found and there it is tonight
(Carmol Taylor - Quinton Claunch)
George Jones & Tammy Wynette
I work hard and I work over time
And I'm still deep in debt
I tell myself I'll get ahead
But I haven't done it yet.
Sometimes I think of giving up
Leave you, pack up and go
But I love you for your sweet lips
And in your arms I know.
Lovin' you is worth it
Worth the heartbreak each day
We've come this far together
So it's together all the way.
I'll admit I'd like to have a house
New car and fancy clothes
Dress up, go out with you
To places where we used to go.
And I get lonely even though
You do your best for me
And when you tell me I love you
And kiss me I can see.
Lovin' you is worth it
Worth the heartbreak each day
We've come this far together
So it's together all the way.
We've come this far together
When everything right seems to go wrong
Your heart waits to sing but it can't find a song
When it seems that the world has left yoy behind keep me in mind
When you think that life is just passing you by
You look but you can't find a reason to try
When it seems that a friend is so hard to find keep me in mind
Keep me in mind cause I'll never stop loving you
And as long as I live I'll have love to give and I'll give it all to you just you
When the dreams that you've chased have all gotten away
And you stand at the end of a long lonely day
You'll never be far from these arms of mine keep me in
When the dreams that you've chased...
Keep me in mind
I am weak but Thou art strong Jesus keep me from all wrong
I'll be satisfied as long as I walk let me walk close to Thee
Just a closer walk with Thee grant it Jesus is my plea
Daily walking close to Thee oh let it be dear Lord let it be
When my feeble life is o'er time for me will be no more
Guide me gently safely o'er to Thy kingdom shores to Thy shores
Just a closer walk with Thee...
Just a closer walk with Thee...
I am weak but Thou art strong Jesus keep me from all wrong
Kiss away kiss away guess that's all that's left to say
Please come back and kiss these tears away
Smile again let me smile again make this life worth live again
Please come back and kiss these tears away
Only you can change these sad and blue days
Only you can make them 'I love you' days
Kiss away kiss away still there's nothing left to say
Please come back and kiss these tears away
Only you can change these sad and blue days
Only you can make them 'I love you' days
Kiss away kiss away still there's nothing left to say
If I could again be a little girl still clinging to mom's apron strings
I'd fall in love only with my toys that my daddy every weekend would bring
I'd live in a world of just make believe and I'd never come close to reality
If I could again be a little girl then I wouldn't be lonesome and I wouldn't be hurtin' And I wouldn't be cryin' over a big boy like you
But I never more can be a little girl for little girls fall in love and move up away
Your love turned out to be just like my toys that my mommy got up and gave away
Now I live in a world of old memories for each day I have to face reality
I'm a girl all alone but not a little girl
So that's why I'm lonesome and that's why I'm hurtin'
And that's why I'm cryin' over a big boy like you
I know how you love me you tell me all the time that you'll love me as long as you live
You tell me you want me and ask well I'll be yours
Although you know that I'm not mine to give
I'm not mine to give to you so please let's not pretend
All the things you want you know are here
You want me just for yourself but you know this must end
No matter how I feel that how it is
[ piano ]
If I'd met you sooner things might not be the same
But life is one thing you just can't relive
Please go on without me and find someone to love
It can't be me cause I'm not mine to give
No it can't be me cause I'm not mine to give
He ain't no saint I know he'll never be
He don't stay home each night with the kids and me
But just like a man he likes to have his fun
And sometimes he comes in with the mornin' sun
He never likes to tell me where he's been
He never don't want no talk when he comes in
And sometimes at night I lay in bed and cry cry cry
But for better or worse I took him till the day I die
But I'm a gonna love him just as long as I have breath in my body
He don't wear no angel wings but after all he's still my baby
I quit lookin' for a perfect man cause there ain't any more of them
So as long as I have breath in me I'm gonna keep on loving him
[ guitar ]
He never don't want no talk...
So as long as I have breath in me I'm gonna keep on loving him
I'll take my chances with you now and forever with you
There may be times you hurt me as only you can do
But I'll take my chances with you
I'll do my dreaming with you dreaming together with you
There may be times it seems our dreams won't come true
But I'll take my chances with you
[ guitar ]
There may be times it seems our dreams won't come true
But I'll take my chances with you I'll take my chances with you
I believe for every drop of rain that falls
A flower grows
I believe that somewhere in the darkest night
A candle glows
I believe for every one
Who goes astray
Someone will come
To show the way
I believe, I believe
I believe above the storm the smallest prayer
Will still be heard
I believe that someone in the great somewhere
Hears every word
Every time I hear
A new born baby cry
I touch a leaf, I see the sky
Then I know why
I believe
Every time I hear
A new born baby cry
I touch a leaf, I see the sky
Then I know why
The chimes of time ring out the news another day is through
Someone slipped and fell was that someone you
You may have long for added strenght your courage to renew
Do not be dishearteded for I bring hope to you
It is no secret what God can do what he's done for others he'll do for you
With arms wide open he'll pardon you it is no secret what God can do
I Don't Wanna Play House
(Billy Sherrill/Glenn Sutton)
Today I sat alone at the window
And I watched our little girl outside at play
With the little boy next door like so many times before
But something didn't seem quite right today
So I went outside to see what they were doing
And then the teardrops made my eyes grow dim
'Cause I heard him name a game and I hung my head in shame
When I heard our little girl say to him.
I don't wanna play house; I know it can't be fun
I've watched mommy and daddy
And if that's the way it's done
I don't wanna play house; It makes my mommy cry
'Cause when she played house
My daddy said good-bye.
I don't wanna play house; I know it can't be fun
I've watched mommy and daddy
And if that's the way it's done
I don't wanna play house; It makes my mommy cry
'Cause when she played house
My daddy said good-bye.
Oh Lord my God when I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made
I see the stars I hear the rolling thunder Thy art throughout the universe displayed
Then sings my song my Saviour God to Thee how great Thou art how great Thou art
Then sings my song...
When Christ shall come with shouts of acclamation
And take me home what joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow in humble adoration and there proclaim my God how great Thou art
Then sings my song...
How great Thou art how great Thou art
He gives me love I thought I'd never find treats me like a baby all the time
He shows affections in so many ways and it fills my heart with love each day
He's not like a lot of men I known take me with him everywhere he goes
I feel like a woman by his side he loves me and he knows I'm satisfied
He knows all the ways to love me he knows how to kiss and hold me
And he knows exactly how much love it takes to please me
Happiness is growing all the time everyday he tells me that he's mine
No other men could take place of him
He knows all the ways to love and keep me loving him
He knows all the ways to love me...
He knows all the ways to love and keep me loving him
I long to be his possession he is my everything
I remember my days of darekness without sunshine or sight to lead my way
Then a whisper of his voice softly called me to the arms of my Maker to stay
He is my reason for living he is the king of all kings
I long to be his possession he is my everything
After the lightning and the thunder after the last bell has rung
I want to bow down before Jesus and hear him say well done
He is my reason for living...
I long to be his possession he is my everything
Every day when you come home I meet you at the door
And every night your kisses leave me wanting so much more
I reach for you and hold you like nobody else can do
You know I'm yours I hope you love me too
Cause I know you need me I know you want me
And I hope you love me and always told me so
I look up into your eyes and suddenly get weak
And I can always read your mind before you even speak
I touch you and without a doubt you'll know my love is real
I wish I'd knew exactly how you feel
Cause I know you need me...
When he needs arms to hold him mine are always there
When he needs lips to kiss him mine are always near
And when he needs consolation my voice is loud and clear
I wanna be enough of a woman to please my man
Young enough to tease him
Old enough to please him
I wanna be enough of a woman to hold my man
His moods are many he changes with the wind
Like a little boy one minute the next a big strong man
I understand him like a mother and love him like a lover
I wanna be enough of a woman to please my man
Young enough to tease him
Old enough to please him
I wanna be enough of a woman to hold my man
Sure he gives me everything I ask for a kind of love that I never knew
And every night he comes home at the same time
But he'll never ever take the place of you
He kisses me goodbye every morning does the little things you've always used to do
But no matter how he tries it ain't the same thing
Cause he'll never ever take the place of you
Don't try to see me when you come back to town
I finally found myself up straight so please don't drag me down
I'll be good to him I'll make him happy I owe him so much what else can I do
And our little boy already calls him daddy still he'll never ever take the place of you
No he'll never know oh that I still love you so
Take the ribbon from my hair
Shake it loose and let it fall
Lyin' soft against your skin
Like the shadow on the wall
Come and lie down by my side
In the early mornin' light
All I'm takin' is your time
Help me make it through the night
I don't care if it's right or wrong
I won't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow
Lord, tonight I need a friend
Chorus:
Yesterday is dead and gone
And tomorrow's out of sight
I don't want to be alone
Help me make it through the night
(Hum first two lines of Chorus)
And it's sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night
I don't want to be alone
I guess we've walked a million miles together hand in hand
We'd climb steep Rocky Mountains a happy woman a happy man
We'd thought our love would go on forever side by side
But here we stand like strangers at the great divide
We've loved our way to the top of life the rest was all down hill
The rough times seem behind us and our dreams were all fulfilled
But we found out sometimes love grows old and I think our love just died
But here we stand like strangers at the great divide
Now you'll take a high road I will take the low
But who'll take the baby cause we both love her so
Divorce is not the answer now but we've got too much pride
So here we stand like strangers at the great divide
So here we stand like strangers at the great divide
I was a waitress in a barroom no future in sight
And he was just lonely when he came there that night
Then someone played the jukebox and he asked me to dance
And when he softly held me I thought it's my chance
To be good like I want to be that's what he's saw in me
Not just a girl on the wrong side of town
Good like I used to be he brought it out in me
And that's when I promised that I'd never let him down
Now I'm back here in a barroom a waitress again
The good world I've lived in just came to an end
For temptation comes easy to a woman like me
And regardless of my chances I know that I'll never be
Good like I used to be I guess it's just not in me
With all my heart how I wish I prove
I've been good like he wanted me but good is what I'll never be
And now I know that he's gone for good
I don't mind you goin' down to the bar
And talkin' bout the lady's man that you think you are
If you stay out late come home a little too tight
I don't say a word everythin's still all right
I don't mind you sayin' you're the boss at home
And actin' like you're a king on a golden throne
And braggin' how you got me in the palm of your hand
But if I ever catch you with another girl gonna throw a lock on your sweet world
For you know what happened to me I'll be gone with another man
Just thought I'd give you a little advice fore you cross that line think twice
Cause if you do it's gonna be sad and I'll pull hurt like you've never had
So don't go a lookin' for love like a man that's free
Cause you got more love than you need right here with me
Cheatin' and lyin' are things I just can't stand
So if I ever catch you a doin' me wrong you ain't a gonna have no woman at home
Fore you know what happened to me I'll be gone with another man
So if I ever catch you a doin' me wrong...
There goes the alarm well it's time to get up
Time to get the kids all dressed up time to get them safely on their way
Then up the stairs I will gently wake him his morning kiss I'll take him
And whsiper a greatest time this day
Help him guide him take his hand and walk beside him
And bring him safely home to me
Good morning Lord well I know you're busy but this prayer will be so easy
Thanks for the night you made him mine
And Lord though each day I kiss him right now I sure do miss him
So let me ask you one more time
Help him guide him...
And bring him safely home to me
Move closer to me don't slip out of my arms my emotions tonight are so strong
You say I'm your woman all through the day then leave me alone all night long
When I'm in your arms I'm too weak to be strong whatever we do can't be wrong
Don't tell me you love me all through the day then leave me alone all night long
[ piano ]
Move closer let me feel the touch of your lips you've made me so weak for so long
Don't tell me you love me all through the day then leave me alone all night long
When I'm in your arms...
Today a group of women came to see me to convince me women don't have equal right
And they left when I told them I feel equal to an angel
While my man holds me at night
My man he treats me like a lady and he's gentle as a gentleman can be
So I do everything I can to please him
Cause my man works hard and takes good care of me
Don't liberate me just love me cause I'm as free as I ever thought to be
Don't liberate me just love me some women can't understand
There's more than one difference in a woman and a man
I'm convinced that's the way God meant it to be
Your hand is like a torch each time you touch me that look in your eyes pulls me apart
Don't open the door to heaven if I can't come in
Oh don't touch me if you don't love me sweetheart
Your kiss is like a drink when I'm thirsty
Oh and I'm thirsty for you with all my heart
But don't love me then act as though we never kissed
Oh don't touch me if you don't love me sweetheart
Now don't give me something that you might take way
To have you then lose you wouldn't be smart on my part
Don't open the door to heaven if I can't come in
Oh don't touch me if you don't love me sweetheart
My little girl said mommy the school room breaks my heart
Arithmetic reminds me that you and dad's apart
Subtraction starts me breaking up cause him from us leaves too
And with our home devided now I cry a lot in school
Don't make me go to school no more and cry through every test
I'm so ashamed when children see the teardrops on my desk
Imagine how you feel to hear your child say this to you
Don't make me go to school no more and make the fifth grade blue
[ steel ]
It's hard to see my lessons the blackboard's one big tear
And when I turn wet papers in Miss Dickens only stares
So please may I be absent mom like daddy is from home
I'd rather fail than face the class they know my daddy's gone
Don't make me go to school...
I put my little girl to bed with teardrops in her eyes
All day I've tried to comfort her and louder were her cries
I left her there to say her prayers and stepped outside the door
The prayer I heard was one I knew I'd never heard before
Please have my mommy ask my daddy to come home
Sometimes I try and get my way and mommy's so alone
She told me once that when I'm right I never should give in
So if at first I don't succeed I'll cry cry again
I know our little girl is right and we're both in the wrong
And so I've called you up tonight to ask you please come home
I can't go on or stand for long the way she cries today
And I can't go to sleep tonight because I heard her pray
Please have my mommy...
When I'm worried and I can't sleep I count my blessings instead of sheep
And I fall asleep counting my blessings
When my bank roll is gettin' small I think of when I had none at all
And I fall asleep counting my blessings
I think about a nursery and I picture curly kids
And one by one I count them as they slumber in their beds
If you worry and you can't sleep count your blessings instead of sheep
And you'll fall asleep counting my blessings
If you worry...
Go on with your new love have a good good time
Take her out show her off fill her tall glass with wine
Live all you can I'll forgive you when the last thrill is gone
Just remember old faithful is waiting at home
Bright lights have you blinded for a long long time
Your rose colored world is a long way from mine
I'm just a teardrop from a break town and so all alone
Take your time when you wake up won't you please come on home
Come on home come on home never more will roam
I open wide my arms oh Lord it's all right so come on home
Come on home come on home come on home it's all right so come on home
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord;
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword;
His truth is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on.
I have seen Him in the watch fires of a hundred circling camps
They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps;
I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps;
His day is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His day is marching on.
I have read a fiery Gospel writ in burnished rows of steel;
"As ye deal with My contemners, so with you My grace shall deal";
Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with His heel,
Since God is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Since God is marching on.
He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;
He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment seat;
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! be jubilant, my feet;
Our God is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Our God is marching on.
In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me:
As He died to make men holy, let us live to make men free;
[originally ...let us die to make men free]
While God is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! While God is marching on.
He is coming like the glory of the morning on the wave,
He is wisdom to the mighty, He is honor to the brave;
So the world shall be His footstool, and the soul of wrong His slave,
Our God is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Our God is marching on.
I'm back in baby's arms how I've missed those loving arms
I'm back where I belong back in baby's arms
Don't know why we quarrel we never did before
Since we found out how it hurts I'll bet we never quarrel anymore
I'm back in baby's arms...
I'm back in baby's arms...
Thought I didn't need his love till he took it away
Now I'm back where I belong and in my baby's arms and I'm gonna stay
I'm back in baby's arms...
I'm back in baby's arms...
Just follow the stairway to this lonely world of mine
You'll find me waitin' here in Apartment No 9
Not so very long ago you walked away from me
And after all the plans we made you decided to be free
Loneliness surrounds me without your arms around me
And the sun will never shine in Apartment No 9
[ piano - steel ]
I'll keep waiting in this lonely room just in case you'd change your mind
You'll find me waitin' here in Apartment No 9
Loneliness surrounds me...
No the sun will never shine in Apartment No 9
Just follow the stairway
To this lonely world of mine
You'll find me waitin' here
In Apartment # 9
Not so very long ago
You walked away from me
And after the all the plans we made
You decided to be free
Loneliness surrounds me
Without your arms around me
And the sun will never shine
In Apartment # 9
Each time you touch me that little tingle goes up and down my spine
I feel a trembling on my lips when you press yours to mine
And these butterflies won't let me eat at suppertime have I lost my mind or is it love
[ organ ]
You make my heart beat until it's sounding like it's on over time
The chill of winter goes up and down me but it's still summertime
And why am I walking way up on this cloud so high
Have I've grown wings to fly or is it love
And why am I walking...

Take me, take me to your darkest room
Close every window and bolt every door
The very first moment I heard your voice
I'd be in darkness no more
Take me to your most barren desert
A thousand miles from the nearest sea
The very moment I saw your smile
It would be like heaven to me
There's not any mountain to rugged to climb
No desert too barren to cross
Darlin', if you would just show a sign
Of love, I could bear with all lossTake me to Siberia
And the coldest weather of the winter time
And it would be just like spring in California
As long as I knew you were mine
Yes, it would be just like spring in California
As long as I knew you were mine
Take me, take me
Wondering where the hours go
Catching up on TV shows
It's not easy, heaven knows
When you're starting over
Knowing that the phone won't ring
Back to being lonely me
Funny how I seem to be
Always starting over
Foolish me, I never meant
Almost heal then break again
Look at how I've always been starting over
So just win, the hurt is through
I'll see a face across a room
And wonder if it's still too soon
To be starting over
But like a fool I'll give my heart
Then the same old thing will start
I'll watch it slowly fall apart
Then I'll be starting over
Foolish me, I never meant
Almost heal then break again
I've got a real important job
In a large office buildin'
Ridin' people in an elevator
I drive a '57 Chevrolet
With busted tail lights
Burned out valves
And a leaky radiator
I wear a twenty dollar suit
I bought from J.C. Penney's
Back in 1962
But I've got somethin' to brag about
Somethin' to brag about
Somethin' to brag about in you
I'm a short-order cook
At an all night cafe
Down on 18th Avenue and 12th Street
I wear a swingin' mini-dress
That I made for myself
From Mama's kitchen curtains
And old bed sheets
I've got 17 pages
Of Top Value stamps
And one old pair of shoes
But I've got somethin' to brag about
Somethin' to brag about
Somethin' to brag about in you
When you're with the fellas, I know
You start braggin' 'bout
My hourglass figure
And my big brown eyes
Tell 'em, you tell your girlfriends
'Bout my sweet, sweet lovin'
And that's one better that
Money can?t buy
So, let's get married
In the not-to-distant future
We'll rent a little flat
On 29th Street
You know, we'll hang our washin'
On the clothes line from the window
We'll feast on cornbread
Butter beans and lunch meat
We won't have a thermostat
A big long Cadillac
But we'll have a love that's true
Love has somethin' to brag about
Yeah and I'll have, somethin' to brag about
I'm with my little girl, the only friend left in the world
So I gave her a book to color on
Just to pass the time away
This had been her longest day
Everything so lonely with him gone
I laugh when I first look at the pictures in her book
The way she colored everything so wrong
But then a tear came over me as I realized that she
Had other things as she felt they belong
She colored mummy blue with brown eyes, crying
She made our home as great as the dawn
She made the sun as black as night
As if to say it have no life
But she didn't color daddy 'cause he's gone
Oh yes, I'm so blue and I've been crying
And our home is as great as the dawn
And the sun, it gives no light
Everyday is like the night
Satin sheets to lie on satin pillows to cry on still
I'm not happy don't you see
Big long Cadillac tailor made's upon my back still
I want you to set me free
I found another man who can give the more you can
Though you've given me everything money can buy
But your money can't hold me tight like he does on a long long night
You know you didn't keep me satisfied
Satin sheets to lie on, satin sheets to lie on
We've been through thick and thin together
Braved the fair and stormy weather we've had all the hard times you and I
And now that I'm a big success you called today and you confused
And told me things that make me want to die
You told me there's another man who can give more than I can
And I've given everything that cash will buy
You can buy me a peaceful night with loving arms around me tight
My shoulder still burns where you touched me last night
You hugged me and walked out the door
We've been pretending that we're only friends
But tonight we can feel something more
Just being around you is making me warm
One touch and I know that I'll melt in your arms
There's no way to stop this burning desire
'Cause there's nothing as hot as a slow burning fire
You look in my eyes just a little too long
Before I can look away but lately
I've caught you staring at me
With a new kind of look on your face
Just being around you is making me warm
One touch and I know that I'll melt in your arms
There's no way to stop this burning desire
'Cause there's nothing as hot as a slow burning fire
Just being around you is making me warm
One touch and I know that I'll melt in your arms
There's no way to stop this burning desire
Today's the day you're tellin' him that he's got to set you free
And that bein' one man's woman brings you down
But before you throw away what you think you don't want today
Don't give it up for the new life that you've found
Run woman, run
Go back to him and fix things up the very best you can
Tell him you missed him while you were gone
Run woman, run back to your man
You're a young girl, so understand, it's so hard to find a man
Who comes home every night to only you
You may not find true love again, so go home while you still can
And find a way to work it out with your man
Run woman, run
Go back to him and fix things up the very best you can
Tell him you missed him while you were gone
Run woman, run back to your man
I believe in fairy tales
Where knights in shinin' Armour come along
You were my knight in shining Armour
And you stole my heart with a song
You gave me a castle and a princess
And I was the world's proudest queen
And then came the dragon in the bottle
And I watched as it slowly slayed the king
And we all live happy never after
For we just put the castle up for sale
But I guess that I will always be a dreamer
'Cause I still believe in fairy tales
Accidentally in your arms
And that's all it took
Knowing how you want
And need me with just one look
To leave you now is something
You should know that I can't do
I stayed long enough
To fall in love with you
Long enough to know that
What I feel won't go away
Just lookin' won't be near
Enough after today
Everything I need is everything
I see in you
I stayed long enough
To fall in love with you
Everything I need is everything
I see in you
I stayed long enough
To fall in love with you
I stayed just long enough
I've never seen the inside of a bar room
or listened to a jukebox all night long
but I see these are the things
that bring you pleasure
so I'm gonna make some changes in our home
I've heard it said if you can't beat 'em, join 'em
so if thats the way you've wanted me to be
I'll change if it takes that to make you happy
from now on your gonna see a different me
Because your good girls gonna go bad
I'm gonna be the swingenest swinger you've ever had
if you like 'em
painted up, powdered up
then you oughta be glad
'cos your good girls gonna go bad
I'll even learn to like the taste of whiskey
infact you'll hardly recognise your wife
I'll buy some brand new clothes and dress up fancy
for my journey to the wilder side of life
Because your good girls gonna go bad
I'm gonna be the swingenest swinger you've ever had
if you like 'em
painted up, powdered up
then you oughta be glad
'cos your good girls gonna go bad
