unknown

Spent all my money on everyone else
Why i just kept handing it out right and left
They didn

Hey girl, i wanna give you some friendly advice
He's got you cryin', oh he's done it again
He's made a date and he didn't show
You know he's done this to you so many times
When you gonna let him go
He doesn't treat you little a lover should
He could be so downright cruel
Can't understand why you're hangin' with him
Girl, don't you be a fool

Go on and dump the dude
You know he's got a rotten attitude
He always leaves you in a cryin' mood
Take my advice, don't you think twice
Listen to what i'm telling you
Go on and dump the dude

You know that we've been friends for so many years
And i've never ever seen you this way
So torn apart, how he gets to your heart
With all the little games that he plays
Just give him up, get him out of your life
Promise me that once and for all
You're gonna tell him that it's over and done
The very next time he calls, ain't you now

Dump the dude
You know he's got a rotten attitude
He always leaves you in a cryin' mood
Take my advice, find somebody nice
Listen to what i'm telling you
Go on and dump the dude

Girl, i know you may think this is none of my business
But the fact that we're friends i believe that makes it my business
I care about you but i ain't preachin'
I think you should dump the dude

I don't know why you'd want to settle for less
When you could have so much more
You know that you deserve only the best
So what are you waiting for?

Go on and dump the dude
You know he's got a rotten attitude
He always leaves you in a cryin' mood
Take my advice, don't you think twice
Find yourself somebody nice
Go on and dump the dude

Life

All your love lifting me higher
Than i ever been lifted before
So keep it up, quench my desire
Then i

Being born was the worse and the first mistake i ever made
The doctor didn

I would spin for you a blanket
Out of gold and silver threads
I would let my gentle bosom
Be a pillow for your head
I'd caress your perfect body
On a rosy bed at night
Play you love songs on a golden harp
And sing you butterflies
In a diamond-studded chalice
On an emerald-plated tray
I would bring to you sweet nectar
And gifts of bright array
I would paint for you a castle
In a blue and yellow sky
Paint you happy ever after
And paint you butterflies

Chorus:

Butterflies, my heart flutters with the notion
I get high on the wings of sweet emotion
Darling i, i just think of you and i get butterflies
I get close to you and i get butterflies

If only i were magic
I would make the wishes true
I would wave a magic wand
And be in paradise with you
But i'm just a girl that loves you
I will love you all my life
But i do have a magic feeling
And it gives me butterflies

Chorus:

Butterflies, my heart flutters with the notion
I get high on the wings of sweet emotion
Darling i, i just think of you and i get butterflies

We should fly away together, you and i
Off to paradise forever, i get high
I get close to you and i get butterflies
I think of you and i get butterflies

Fade:

I will spin for you a blanket out of gold and silver threads
If only i were magic, i would make the wishes true
I would wave a magic wand and be in paradise with you

There is a place where the sun's always glowing
Take me there, won't you take me there
Meadows grow green near the streams gently flowing
Take me there, won't you take me there
A city of riches beyond comprehension
Take me there, won't you take me there
Streets are of gold, gates of pearl, brilliant mansions
Take me there, won't you take me there

Chorus:

Take me and show me this rare place you speak of
Take me there, won't you take me there
To this land of plenty where there is complete love
Take me there, won't you take me there

At the foot of the throne the kingdom rejoices
Take me there, won't you take me there
The angels are singing his praise with their voices
Hallelujah, hallelujah take me there

Peace, joy and love linger on through the ages
Take me there, won't you take me there
Lambs lay with lions and lions with babies
Take me there, won't you take me there

Take me and show me this rare place you speak of
Take me there, won't you take me there
To this land of plenty where there is complete love
Take me there, i can't take you there

But there is a church where they teach all about it
Take me there, won't you take me there
There is a book we must not be without it
Take me there, i will read with you there

There is an altar where sins are forgiven
Take me there, yes i'll kneel with you there
We'll find there the god of eternal living
Take me there, he will take you there

There is no sorrow and no heartache there
There is no crying and no dying there
Won't you take me there, won't you take me there
Hallelujah won't you take me there

Robert's appearance is something to behold
Dressed in the finest of store bought clothes
My mamma sews my clothes cause i'm just a poor girl
But robert is as real as his daddies gold
Robert could have any girl that he wanted
But his feelings for me each day seems to grow
He don't know the reason, that he's so drawn to me
But there is a story that robert doesn't know
Oh robert
Oh robert

Robert is constantly making eyes at me
He misunderstands the feelings we share
There's no way that i can return his glances
But i know the meaning of the feeling that's there

Robert if you knew, there once was a rich boy
In love with a poor girl, long time ago
But the folks of that rich boy, would not let them marry
And i am a symbol of the love that they stole

Oh robert
Oh robert

Robert, oh robert if you only knew
The same blood is flowing in both me and you
That rich boy's your father,but he's also mine
And my mamma's the poor girl that he left behind

Oh robert
Oh robert

Our love affair is bitter sweet
Insecure and incomplete
And i've often wondered why your leaving's been so long delayed
It's all become so complicated
Maybe you feel obligated
And out of simpathy for me you stay
But i had rather live alone
Than live with someone who doesn't love me
And i'd rather have you go than stay
And put me down a thinkin' you're above me
Our love affair is so wound up
It's best that we unwind
And if you don't love me, leave me
And don't let it trouble your mind

You've waited much too long to leave afraid of how i'd take it
And i'm deeply touched by your concern but i think i can make it
It won't be easy for a while but i'll forget in time
And if you don't love me, leave me and don't let it trouble your mind

I had rather live alone
Than live with someone who doesn't love me
And i'd rather have you go than stay
And put me down a-thinkin' you're above me
Our love affair is so wound up
It's best that we unwind
And if you don't love me, leave me
And don't let it trouble your mind

To everything
Turn, turn, turn
There is a season
Turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven
A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep

To everything
Turn, turn, turn
There is a season
Turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven

A time to build up, a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones
A time to gather stones together

To everything
Turn, turn, turn
There is a season
Turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven

A time of love, a time of hate
A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may embrace
A time to refrain from embracings

A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time to love, a time to hate
A time of peace, i swear it's not too late

Chorus:

I'm the queen of the sleazy tabloids
I rule the trashy kingdom
Like lady di they make sure i am never left alone
Papparazzi and reporters stalk me from the shadows
Making sure to kepp my royal assetts on my throne

Oh they talk about the lovers
That i keep undercover
And i wish that i was as much fun
As they have you believe
Just like alec baldwin
I'd love to whack 'em all one
But instead i'll wait and see
Who i am sleepin' with next week

I'm the queen of the sleazy tabloids
And i rule the trashy kingdom
But the rumors raise my cue score
And pay for my big home
I guess i 'augt to sue them
But instead i guess i'll use them
To keep me in the spotlight
And keep me on my throne

Cause i'm the queen of the sleazy tabloids

Busy signal
That's what i get when i call you
Busy busy
Talking to someone new
I wish i knew

I shouldn't worry 'cause it's probably his mother
Or then again it could even be his little brother
On the line
Making me lose my mind

Hang up hang up hang up hang up
Come on hang up hang up hang up
Gotta talk to my baby
Gotta tell him i'm sorry

Busy signal
How can i tell him i'm sorry
When i said i didn't care
I didn't mean a word i said
Talking outta my head

I've got to reach him now and tell him that i love him
And from now on i'll stay right by his side and love him
All the time
So please somebody quit tying up the line

Hang up hang up hang up hang up
Come on hang up hang up hang up
Gotta talk to my baby
Gotta tell him i'm sorry
I didn't mean to hurt you baby
I really really love you baby

Oh sugar pie, honey bunch
You know that i love you
I can't help myself
I love you and nobody else
In and out my life
You come and you go
Leaving just your picture behind
And i've kissed it a thousand times

When you snap your fingers or wink your eye
I come a running to you
Tied to you like a ball-and-chain
And there's nothing that i can do

Can't help myself
No, i can't help myself

Sugar pie, honey bunch
I'm weaker than a girl should be
I can't help myself
I'm a fool in love you see

I wanna tell you i don't love you
Tell you that we're through
And i've tried
But every time i see your face
I get all choked up inside

When i call your name
Boy it starts the flame
Burning in my heart
Tearin' it all apart
No matter how i try
My love i cannot hide

Sugar pie, honey bunch
You now that i'm weak for you
I can't help myself
I love you and nobody else

Ooh sugar pie honey bunch
I'll do anything you ask me to
I can't help myself
I want you and nobody else

Sugar pie, honey bunch
You know that i love you
I can't help myself
No no no, i can't help myself

Thumbing for a ride by the edge of the road
With a brown paper bag to hold my clothes
But tonight i'm going home where i belong
If the good lord's willing and the creek don't rise
And if my luck holds out, and i catch me a ride
When the sun goes down tomorrow, i should be home
This big city ain't no kind of place
For a country girl with a friendly face
If you smile people look at your funny, they take it wrong
They laugh at my talkin' and clothes i wear
They put me down and they call me square
But tonight i'm going home where i belong

Chorus:

I'm goin' back to the people i love
Back to the place that i dream of
It's true that there's no place like home sweet home
The one i want to see the most
Is the boy who begged me not to go
When the sun goes down tomorrow

Tag:

Tonight i'm going back where i belong

Baby, when i met you there was peace unknown
I set out to get you with a fine tooth comb
I was soft inside, there was somethin' going on
You do something to me that i can't explain
Hold me closer and i feel no pain
Every beat of my heart
We got somethin' goin' on
Tender love is blind
It requires a dedication
All this love we feel
Needs no conversation
We ride it together, ah-ah
Makin' love with each other, ah-ah

Chorus:

Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in-between
How can we be wrong
Sail away with me to another world
And we rely on each other, ah-ah
From one lover to another, ah-ah

I can't live without you if the love was gone
Everything is nothin' if you got no one
And you did walk in tonight
Slowly loosen' sight of the real thing

But that won't happen to us and we got no doubt
Too deep in love and we got no way out
And the message is clear
This could be the year for the real thing

No more will you cry
Baby, i will hurt you never
We start and end as one, in love forever
We can ride it together, ah-ah
Makin' love with each other, ah-ah

Repeat chorus

Tag:

Sail away
Oh, come sail away with me

Repeat chorus

Fade:

Repeat chorus

Please release me, let me go
'cause i don't love you anymore
And to live without love is a sin
So release me and let me love again
I have found a new love, dear
And i'll always want him near
His lips are warm while yours are cold
So release me, my darlin' let me go

Oh please release me, let me go
'cause i just won't love you anymore
And to live together we both know is a sin
So release me, release me and let me love again

Oh, please, please, please, please
Release me, let me go
'cause i, i don't love you anymore
And to live together is a sin
So release me and let me love again

Oh, please release me, let me go
I don't love you anymore
And to live together is a sin
So release me and let me love again

In a dream i was walkin' in a beautiful field
I was gathering flowers at the foot of a hill
When a bright light descended and it spread o'er the land
Jesus stood on the mountain and he held out his hand
Then he came down from the mountain, headed down to the sea
And the children strowed flowers in the path at his feet
And he was filled with compassion and the beasts from the wild
Came as gentle as lambs and they all walked at his side

There's a calm on the water, a hush in the crowd
There's peace in the valley, there's a stillness about
There's a light in the darkness, there's joy in his love
Ain't that a wonderful feelin', let us lift him up

Then he suddenly vanished from the crowd down below
Reappeared on the mountain in a radiant glow
He said your questions are many but the answer is love
I'll draw all men unto me if i be lifted up

There's a calm on the water, a hush in the crowd
There's peace in the valley, there's a stillness about
There's a light in the darkness, there's joy in his love
There is life everlasting, let us lift him up

He said if i
Be lifted up
He said if i be lifted up, what did he say
He said if i
Be lifted up
He said if i be lifetd up

Let's lift him higher and higher
And higher and higher each day
Let's lift him up
He said if i
Be lifted up
Oh if i be lifted up

There's a calm on the water, a hush in the crowd
There's peace in the valley, there's a stillness about
There's a light in the darkness, and joy in his love
It's a wonderful feelin', lift him up

He said if i
Be lifted up
He said if i be lifted up, that's what he said
He said if i
Be lifted up
If i be lifted up

Walter, walter henry
I say walter henry hagan
You done gone and broke my heart
Walter, walter henry
You know that i believed you
When you swore we'd never part
Well you said you had to have me
And well you dang well did
You took me from my country home
When i was just a kid
And you took me off to boston
Put a baby on my knee
Left me to dangle-dingle
So far from tennessee

Now patrick might have been one
But you ain't been no saint
But a good ole' irish boy
They say we'll always have this drink
And you just won't stop chasin'
All those other woman around
A' ramblin' and a'gamblin'
Throwin' irish whiskey down

Walter, walter henry
Walter henry hagan
You don't listen when i call
Walter, walter henry
Of all the men i've ever loved
I loved you best of all
Oh play one for ol' walter henry boys

Walter, walter henry
Walter henry hagan
You done left your mark on me
Walter, walter henry
If you ever sober up
I'm waitin' back in tennessee
If you ever sober up
I'm waitin' back in tennessee

Walter, walter henry
Yoddle-le-ee-hee
Yoddle-le-ee-hee
Walter henry hagan
You done left your mark on me

I feel so out of place here
With this high society
These high fallutin' people
Don't know what to make of me
I feel like a minnow in a sea of moby dicks
A small fry in a big pan
They're caviar -- i'm fish sticks
Fish out of water
I know i don't belong
Fish out of water
Everything i do is wrong
My style of hair, the clothes i wear
The way i speak, the things i eat
The way i act, my lack of tact
Nothin' seems to fit
Fish out of water
Flounderin' round
Out of my element

But i'm just as good as they are
Why do i feel second rate
It's like, "sorry charlie,
We want only tuna with good taste"
I guess you could say wal-mart
Is quite a way from gucci's
I'm timex, they're rolex
I'm captain d's, they're sushi

Fish out of water
I've had it to the gills
Fish out of water
With these yuppie-guppie frills
Yeah, i'm a square in a round hole
A catfish in a goldfish bowl
A little fish with lots of soul
Out of my element
Fish out of water
Flounderin' round just for the halibut

Save me, save me
S.o.s. somebody
Save me, save me
Somebody rescue me

Fish out of water
Somebody throw me in
Fish out of water
On a scale of one to ten
I'm a two, perhaps a three
Compared to the big fish in the sea
I'm washed ashore so save me please
I'm in an awful fix
Fish out of water
Rescue me
And you better do it quick
Fish out of water
It's such a culture shock
Fish out of water
My stomach's tied in knots
Fish out of water
Fish out of water

I wanna feel this way
Longer than time
I wanna know your dreams
And make them mine
I wanna change the world
Only for you
All the impossible
I wanna do

I wanna hold you close under the rain
I wanna kiss your smile
And feel your pain
I know what's beautiful
Looking at you
Here in a world of lies
You are the true

Chorus:

And baby
Everytime you touch me
I become a hero
I'll make you safe no matter where you are
And bring you
Anything you ask for
Nothing is above me
I'm shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me

I wanna make you see
Just what i was
Show you the loneliness
And what it does
You walked into my life
To stop my tears
Everything's easy now
I have you here

Repeat chorus

In a world without you
I would always hunger
All i need is your love to make me stronger

Repeat chorus

Help, i need somebody
Help, not just anybody
Help, i need somebody
Please, please help me
When i was younger, so much younger than today
I never needed anybody's help in anyway
But now those days are gone and i'm not so self assured
No i finally changed my mind and i opened up the door

Chorus:

Help me, if you can i'm feelin' down
And i do appreciate you being 'round
Won't you help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me

And now my life has changed in so many ways
My independence seemed to vanish in the haze
But every now and then i feel so insecure
I know that i need your light, i never done before

Repeat chorus

Help me, help me, ooh

When i was younger, so much younger than today
I never needed anybody's help in anyway
But now those days are gone and i'm not so self assured
No i finally changed my mind and i opened up the door

Repeat chorus twice

Help me, help me, ooh

The snow was fallin' swiftly and it mounted on the street
Little footprints in the snow made by our children's feet
As i walked them to the good will store to get some clothes to wear
As we turned around the corner i saw you standing there
I tried to turn the children and walk the other way
I prayed they hadn't seen you then i heard the baby say
"mommie, ain't that daddy holding out his hand
Begging for money from that other man?"

They asked me "ain't that daddy?"
And "yes" i had to say
And i wondered if i'd failed you
And made you turn this way

No, you didn't fail me, my weakness was just too strong
Because you see, i thought more of the bottle than our family and our home
No, you didn't fail me sweetheart, you loved me all you could
You had my babies and you loved me like no other woman ever would

You know i guess i'd be better off dead
Than in the awful ship i'm in
But death just don't seem to have a place for those that stay drunk on whiskey, wine and gin
You see i die a constant death over and over every day

If i could change, you know i'd do it for you, the babies and our home
But you might as well forget me for i'm just too forward gone
But i wish you would do me one last favor and do it just for me
When they ask you, "momma ain't that daddy?"
Just say "it used to be"

You kindle the fire of love inside me
Each time our lips meet
I'm not strong when we're alone
Your kisses make me weak
You must know how i feel
But do you feel the same
Everytime you kiss me
You add fuel to the flame
My eyes light up when i see you
I burn with desire
Each time you're near
You say you'll care
But still i'm not sure
But please don't ask me to love you
If you're not gonna change my name

Everytime you touch me
You add fuel to the flame
This fire you started inside me
Has reached my very soul
You're adding fuel to a flame
That's already burning out of control
When you give me your name
I give you everything
Everytime you kiss me
Adds fuel to the flame
Yes everytime you touch me
You add fuel to the flame

He's a go getter, go getter
When his wife gets off from work, he'll go get her
Now i've got a neighbor that lives down the road a ways
His wife holds down a steady job, he don't turn his hand all day
I know that most of you will know the kind i'm talkin' about
The kind that rather than have to work, he'd rather do without

But he's a go getter, a go getter
When his wife gets off from work, he'll go get her

There's a group of men in the court house yard any time that you go by
Playin' checkers and tradin' odds and makin' jokes about their wives
They wait all week for pay day and they hold the money's plenty
And the wife that's worked those long hard hours never gets a penny

But he's a go getter, a go getter
When his wife gets off from work, he'll go get her
Yes he's a go getter, a go getter
When his wife gets off from work, he'll go get her
He's a go getter, a go getter
When his wife gets off from work, he'll go get her

Mama, i remember what you told me
You said you wait for love before you fall
But, mama, i am sorry, i guess it's gonna be love after all
'cause mama, when he holds me
The air is thick and sweet
He asked me if i'd come tonight
And hold him in his sleep
Chorus:

And i'm almost in love
I can feel myself fallin'
Yes, i'm almost in love
I can hear my heart fallin'
'cause i'm almost in
Yes, i'm almost in love

Mama, i've grown into a woman
I been growing stronger and stronger day by day
Mama, you know about children
You raise them then they'll go away
Mama, when he holds me
He thrills me through and through
So dry your eyes and teach me how to say goodbye to you

Repeat chorus

Yes i'm almost in love
I can feel myself fallin'
Yes i'm almost in love
I can hear my heart fallin'
Yes i'm almost in love
I can feel myself fallin'
Yes i'm almost in love
I can hear my heart fallin'
'cause i'm almost
Yes, i'm almost in love

Christmas without you
White christmas and i'm blue
Like fireworks with no fuse
Christmas without you
The fireplace keeps burning and my thoughts keep turning
The pages of memories of time spent with you
Old christmas songs we knew and used to make love to
Make it hard to get used to
Christmas without you

Christmas without you
White christmas and i'm blue
I love you i miss you
So sad but so true
Christmas without you
Like a mystery with no clues
Like fireworks with no fuse
Christmas without you

The sweetest gift i know would be if the new snow
Could fall on your footsteps on this christmas eve
The most joyous christmas if luck could be with us
Would be if saint nicholas brought you home to me

Christmas without you
White christmas and i'm blue
I love you i miss you i need you
So sad but so true
Like a mystery with no clues
Like fireworks with no fuse
Christmas without you

Repeat chorus

Last night you breathed the deepest sigh
Turned away with those gold cold cool eyes
You said won't you give me space to breathe
But my tears gave you confidence to leave
Now you say i'm just too much for you
There are things you'll never know
If you lie and cheat so easily
Ya better go, you better go
Go, go, go, you better go

All i know is how i feel
And my heart is always yours to steal
But you take and never give to me
Your kisses are charity
Your kisses are charity

Yesterday you were my brightest star
But even when you're near
I don't know where you are
I was wrong to show my weaker side
Now it's much too late to cry, cry, cry

I was blind to put my trust in you
If you leave me, i'll fall apart
Did you plan to make a fool out of me
From the start, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

All i know is how i feel
And my heart was always yours to steal
But you take and never give to me
Your kisses are charity
Your kisses are charity

Now you say i'm too much for you
There are things you'll never know
If you lie and cheat so easily
Ya better go, you better go
Go, go, go, you better go

All i know is how i feel
And my heart was always yours to steal
But you take and never give to me
Your kisses are charity
You never give to me

All i know is how i feel
And my heart was always yours to steal
But you take but never give to me
Your kisses are charity
Your kisses are charity

Mine is a jealous heart
Imagines things that never are
Builds a fire from a tiny spark
But that's the way of a jealous heart
Sunny skies and a rosy bed
Thorns and storm clouds up ahead
'cause suddenly the sky turns dark
For those of us with a jealous heart

Imagination runnin' wild
Like a frantic frightened child
Any time that we're apart
I can't control my jealous heart

And you know mine is a jealous heart
And every hurt leaves a lasting scar
Don't you hate yourself for the fool you are
When you're cursed with a jealous heart

I love you more than words can tell
One day's heaven two days hell
Suspicious words like poison darts
Spoken from my jealous heart

Mine is a jealous heart
Imagines things that never are
Builds a fire from a tiny spark
But that's the way of a jealous heart

And you know mine, you know mine is a jealous heart
And every hurt, and every hurt leaves a lasting scar
Don't you hate yourself for the fool you are
When you're cursed with a jealous heart

And you know mine, you know mine is a jealous heart
Imagines things, imagines things that never are
Builds a fire from a tiny spark
But that's the way of a jealous heart

I love you, i love you
My heart seems to whisper
But my lips cannot form those words
I know my heart
Is calling out to you
In a voice you've already heard

Does your heart feel as if
It could burst any second
Is it racing, will not slow up
Do you just want to be
With me endlessly
Well i'm thinking
We might be in love

We might be in love
The best i can tell
I thinkin' thoughts
That i've never pondered
And i'm feeling like i've never felt

It's like i drink
From some magic posion
Sipping from your loving cup
Intoxicated, infatuated
I'm thinking we might be in love

We might be in love
What else could it be
These feelings of wonder
Passion and romance
Excitement and pure ectasy

We might be in love
And it might be forever
I think there's a future for us
If you just want to be
In and all over me
It might be, we might be in love

I promise for keeps
If you're feeling like me
Then it might be
We might be in love
I dare say
We might be in love

I hoped i wouldn't miss you long
But i still can't believe you're gone
And i still miss you just as much as always
I hoped i'd get you off my mind
It's been a long time but i find
That i still think of you as much as always
As much as always, as much as always
Just as much as always
As much as always just as much as always
I still miss you, still think of you
Just as much as always, as much as always
Just as much as always
I still want you, still need you
Just as much as always

I hoped that i'd find someone else
But there's too much of you still left
And i still love you , just as much as always
I hoped that i'd forget your touch
But i still want it just as much
And i still need it just as much as always
As much as always, as much as always
Just as much as always

As much as always, just as much as always
I still miss you, still think of you
Just as much as always
As much as always, just as much as always
I still love you, oh i do love you
Just as much as always

As much as always, as much as always
I still love you, still want you, just as much as always
As much as always, just as much as always
I still need you still love you
Just as much as always

I once was blind
But now i see
I took him for granted
She took him from me

I once had a love
But now now i have none
And i'm, i'm as blue as can be
I treated him a-wrong
And now i'm, i'm all alone
I took him for granted
She took him from me

Well if i had known then
Just what i know now
I would've treated him so differently
And if i, if i had known
Well then i
I could've shown him more love
Than he'll ever see from her

I thought i had his love
In the palm of my hand
But i, i guess she showed me
And now i, i understand
Just how she, she got my man
I took him for granted
She took him from me

1st verse:
Stay out of my bedroom
Don't be messin' up my pillows and sheets
With your powder and perfume
If you don't have some understanding of me
Don't be kncokin' on my door
I don't want you to play in my fantasies
Stay out of my bedroom
Baby, if you can't take the heat

Verse 2:

If you want it, come and get it, baby
Satisfaction guaranteed
I'm a pleaser, free and eager
I ain't never had as much fun as i need
Easy lovin', that's down my alley
I may be easy but, at least i'm cheap
Stay out of my bedroom, baby
Baby, if you can't take the heat

Chorus:
Stay out of
Stay out of
You're dealin' with some hot stuff
Baby, can you deal with the heat?

Bridge:

We might burn on forever, we might burn on tonight
Where there's smoke there is fire from the flames that i ignite
The heat is intense when the fire's blazin' high
Slavin' over all those red hot lovers at night

If you come to my bedroom the heart of the heat
I will pleasure your body in sheer ecstasy
I will touch you in places no one else ever reached
Till you won't remember anybody else but me

3rd verse :

If you want it come and get it
If it burns you don't come cryin' to me
Don't come knockin' on my door
Baby, if you can't take the heat
Don't be peepin' through my window
If you don't appreciate what you see
Stay out of my bedroom, baby
Baby, if you can't take the heat

Chorus:

Stay out of, stay out of
You're dealin' with some hot stuff
Baby, can you deal with the heat?
Stay out of my bedroom...
If you can't take it, stay out of my bedroom

We're all together once again
For the first time in i don't know when
We were so close once upon a time
There were five of us kids at home
Two girls, three boys and dad and mom
But that was in the better part
Of life we left behind
Remember that old swimming hole
Where we would swim so long ago
And all them possum grapes and muskedines
And do you recall the time
We all got drunk on homemade wine
That was in the better part
Of life we left behind

Life was simple for us then
If only it could be again
How i wish we could go back in time
But time moves on and nothin' lasts
Except the memories from the past
Memories from the better part
Of life we left behind

Remember how we talked as kids
Of what we'd be when we got big
And all the dreams that we held in our minds
I wanted to be a singin' star
And you all said that i'd go far
But that was in the better part
Of life we left behind

Remember all the fun we had
Back when they say times were bad
And life was good to us and things were fine
We had fun and we had love
And a mom and dad to care for us
But that was is the better part
Of life we left behind

Life was simple for us then
If only it could be again
How i wish we could go back in time
But time moves on and nothin' lasts
Except the memories from the past
Memories from the better part
Of life we left behind
Sweet memories from the better part
Of life we left behind

I wasted my tears
When i cried over you
I wasted my tears
When i cried over you
I should've known
You would never be true
I loved and i lost you
Now i'm so blue
I wasted my tears
When i cried over you

You said that you loved me
And would always be true
Now you gone'n left me
Oh, what will i do
Oh, why did you leave me
For somebody new
I wasted my tears
When i cried over you

I wasted my time
When i spent it with you
But one is so blind
When love is so new
Now out of my fears have come true
I wasted my tears
When i cried over you

I wasted my tears
When i cried over you

Cry, cry darlin' that's what i'll do
If you should leave me with the blues
Cry, cry darlin' that's what i'll do
If you're the one that i should lose
For me there will be no moonlight
If ever we should part
Cry, cry darlin' that's all i'll do
'cause you're the one that's in my heart

Cry, cry darlin' my eyes would cry
And never dry if you should go
Cry, cry darlin' when shadows creep
I'll just weep all night i know

You know how much i'd miss you
If ever we should part
Cry, cry darlin' that's all i'll do
'cause you're the one that's in my heart

Oh, cry, cry darlin' that's all i'll do
'cause you're the one that's in my heart

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the ties that bind
Because you're mine i walk the line
I find it very very easy to be true
I find myself alone when each day's through
Yes i admit it, i am a fool for you
Because you're mine i walk the line

As sure as night is dark and day's light
I keep you on my mind both day and night
And happiness i've known proves that it's right
Because you're mine, i walk the line

You've got a way to keep me on your side
You give me cause for love that i can't hide
For you i know i'd even try to turn the tide
Because you're mine, i walk that line

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're mine, i walk the line

Because you're mine, i walk the line
Because you're mine, i walk the line

I'm gonna walk it
I'm gonna walk the line
I'm gonna walk it, walk it, walk it
I'm gonna walk that line

I'm gonna walk it because you're mine
I'm gonna walk it, walk it
I'm gonna walk the line
I'm gonna walk it, walk it
I'm gonna walk the line
I'm gonna walk it
I'm gonna walk the line

I used to sit for hours as a kid
And dangle my feet from an old flat bridge
Seeing myself in the water below
Shatter my image with the rocks i'd throw
Shatter my image with the rocks i'd throw
Long time gone and a long time ago
When i shattered my image with the rocks i'd throw
The world is cruel and people are cold
Now they shatter my image with the rocks they throw
Shatter my image with the rocks they throw

I'm far from perfect but i ain't all bad
And it hurts me more than it makes me mad
We all do things that we don't want told
And we all throw stones that we shouldn't throw
You shatter my image with the rocks you throw

Long time gone and a long time ago
When i shattered my image with the rocks i'd throw
The world is cruel and people are cold
Now they shatter my image with the rocks they throw
Shatter my image with the rocks they throw

If you live in a glass house don't throw stones
Don't shatter my image 'til you look at your own
Look at your reflection in your house of glass
Don't open my closet if your own's full of trash
Stay out of my closet if your own's full of trash

Long time gone and a long time ago
When i shattered my image with the rocks i'd throw
The world is cruel and people are cold
Now they shatter my image with the rocks they throw
Shatter my image with the rocks they throw

Shatter my image with the rocks you throw
Don't shatter my image with the rocks you throw

You make me act like a fool
You treat me mean and cold and cruel
You make me do things that i hate to do
Why do you make me act like a fool?
Now that you know just how much i care
You treat me mean and it ain't right nor fair
I keep holdin' on though i don't know what to
While you make me act like a fool

You know just how to hurt me and you often do
When we're out in publib i start fightin' with you
You start trouble in private when nobody knows
Oh, then you go away smellin' just like a rose

Though you make me act like a fool
You treat me mean cold and cruel
You make me do things that i hate to do
Oh, why must you make me act like a fool?

You know just how to hurt me as you often do
You start flirtin' in public with somebody new
You start trouble in private when nobody knows
Oh then you go away smellin' just like a rose

Though you make me act like a fool
You treat mean and cold and cruel
You make me do things that i hate to do
Oh but why do you make, oh why do i let you
Make me look like a fool?

She married the one i love today
When my back was turned she took him away
Now while they're all outside, waiting to throw rice
What i want to throw will surely black her eyes
'cause i don't want to throw rice
I want to throw rocks at her
She took the only love i had
No, i don't want to throw rice
I want to throw rocks at her
It would be a way to hurt her 'cause she hurt me so bad

Well i never stole nothin' in my life
But if i get the chance i'll steal him from his wife
'cause all is fair in love and war, maybe i'm carryin' this too far
But i feel like tying dynamite to her side of the car

No i don't want to throw rice
I want to throw rocks at her
She took the only love i had
No, i don't want to throw rice
I want to throw rocks at her
It would be a way to hurt her 'cause she hurt me so bad

It's been one of those days
That reminded me in many ways
Of when we were happy, still in love
Just a certain way the wind blows
Just a certain way the sun glows
It's been one of those days that reminded me of us
And even though it's over i never will get over
These feelings that i get on certain days
And i know i'll always love you
And i'll always be thinkin' of you
In certain kinds of ways, on certain kinds of days
And today well, it's been one of those days

It's been one of those days and my heart feels so heavy
And my mind is so full of thoughts of you
It's been one of those days and i'd give my life to see you
And to once more know the love that we once knew

And even though it's over i never will get over
Oh these feelings that i get on certain days
I guess i know i'll always love you
And i'll always be thinkin' of you
In certain kinds of ways, on certain kinds of days
And today well, it's been one of, one of those days

It's been one of those days
That reminded me in many ways
Of when we were happy, still in love

Let me walk in the sunshine of your smile
Let me hide in the shadows of your eyes
Let me lie in the safety of your arms
And let me be the fire that keeps you warm
I'll keep you warm
Let me be the someone that you need
Let me be the shelter that you seek
Let me be your strength when you are weak
And let me be the fire that keeps you warm

Let me walk in the sunshine of your smile
Let me hide in the shadows of your eyes
Let me lie in the safety of your arms
And let me be the fire that keeps you warm
I'll keep you warm

Let me be the one always around
Let me help you up when you are down
Let me make a smile out of a frown
And let me be the fire that keeps you warm

Let me walk in the sunshine of your smile
Let me hide in the shadows of your eyes
Let me lie in the safety of your arms
And let me be the fire that keeps you warm
I'll keep you warm

Let me be the fire that keeps you warm

It's funny how love goes
Cause i know this could 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 want to hold on
Chorus:

When even a fool would let go
Cause he knows that there's no use in trying
Even a child would say no
When he knows that he'll end up crying
Tell me now, is it wise holdin' you
Even a fool would let go

Love has no reason
Like the words in a song that don't rhyme
My love has no season
I just know that it's there all the time
Maybe just you and me
I can't believe that it's wrong
Thinking about you and me
Just makes me want to hold on

Repeat chorus

Tell me now, is it wise holdin' you
When even a fool would let go

Chorus:
A heartsong melody play like a symphony
The sweetest music i have ever known
A song of joy and pain
The mountain angels sing
A bittersweet refreign of my smokey mountain home, heartsong

Farmer's daughter if you will
And i often wonder still
In memories where i rammbled as a child
Makes me cry and makes me laugh
My reflections on the past
And the family, friends, and faith that shaped my life
Ragged clothes and hand-me-downs
Just enough to go around
But the sweetest things in life are always free
Like the songs the birds would sing
And the sweet new grass of spring
And the sacred blossoms on the dogwood tree

Repeat chorus

And i recall the thrill and joy
Of a smokey mountain boy
I remember my first kiss and my first love
And the songs i'd song and write
And the dreams i'd clutch so tight
And the loved ones that gave me that extra shove

And in that little house 'a prayer
Where i spent many hour
Prassin' god and liftin' up his name
And asking him to lead and to keep watch over me
As i headed up that rocky road to fame
And now this, smokey mountain girl has been all around the world
But it makes no difference just how far i roam
I still cling to that part that is so dear to my heart
My faith in god and memories of home

Repeat chorus

I met a man in texas
And oh, he was so fine
And i said to myself
Self, i'm gonna make him mine
He owned a lot of oil wells and his bank roll sure was healthy
And i new if i married him i'd suddenly be wealthy
Oh i'll oil wells love you
I'll oil wells care
I'll oil wells need you
I want you oil wells dear

Well i never had no money
Not a penny to my name
And i said i'd find a rich man
And i'd love my way to fame
So he took mt in his arms
And i cuddled up real near
The money bug then bit me and i wispered in his ear

Oh, i'll oil wells love you
I'll oil wells care
I'll oil wells need you
I want you oil wells dear

He looked in to my eyes and thought he saw a love light shine
Nearly did he know that that light was dollar signs
Now that we are married there ain't nothin' left to tell
We'll live happily ever after because all is well that ends well

Oh, i'll oil wells love you
I'll oil wells care
I'll oil wells need you
I want you oil wells dear

We'll sing in the sunshine
We'll laugh every day
We'll sing in the sunshine
And i'll be on my way
I will never love you
The cost of love's too dear
But though i'll never love you
I'll live with you one year

And we will sing in the sunshine
We'll laugh every day
We'll sing in the sunshine
And i'll be on my way

I'll sing to you each morning
I'll kiss you every night
But darlin', don't cling to me
I'll soon be out of sight

But we can sing in the sunshine
We'll laugh every day
We'll sing in the sunshine
And i'll be on my way

My daddy he once told me
Hey, don't you love you any man
Just take what they can give you
And give but what you can

And you can sing in the sunshine
We'll laugh every day
We'll sing in the sunshine
And i'll be on my way

And when our year has ended
And i have gone away
I'll often speak about you
And this is what i'll say

You know we sang in the sunshine
We laughed every day
We sang in the sunshine
Then i went on my way

You never close your eyes anymore when i kiss your lips
And there's no tenderness like before in your fingertips
You're trying hard not to show it, baby
But baby, baby i know it
You've lost that lovin' feeling
Whoa, that lovin' feeling
You've lost that lovin' feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone, woah

Now there's no welcome look in your eyes when i reach for you
And now your're starting to critisize little things i do
It makes me just feel like crying, baby
'cause baby, something in you is dying

You lost that lovin' feeling
Whoa, that lovin' feeling
You've lost that lovin' feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone, woah

Baby, baby, i get down on my knees and pray to you
If you would only love me like you used to do
We had a love, a love, a love you don't find everyday
So don't, don't, don't, don't let it slip away

Bring back that lovin' feeling
Oh, that lovin' feeling
Bring back that lovin' feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone
And i can't go on, woah

You've lost the lovin' feeling
Woah, that lovin' feeling
You've lost the lovin' feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone

Fade:

Bring back that lovin' feeling, bring it on back
Woah, that lovin' feeling
You've lost that lovin' feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone

I want to tell you all a story 'bout a harper valley widow wife
Who had a teenage daughter that attended harper valley junior high
Well her daughter came home one afternoon and didn't even stop to play
And she said, "mama, i've got a note here from the harper valley pta"
Well the note says "mrs. johnson, you're wearing your dresses way too high
It's been reported you've been drinkin' and a runnin' round with men and goin' wild
Now we don't believe you ought to be a bringin' up your little girl this way"
And it was signed by the secretary, harper valley pta

Well it happened that the pta was gonna meet that very afternoon
And boy, were they surprised as mrs. johnson wore her miniskirt into the room
And as she walked up to the blackboard i can still recall the word she had to say
She said "i'd like to address this meeting of the harper valley pta

Now there's bobby taylor sittin' there and seven times he's asked me for a date
And mrs. taylor sure seems to use a lot of ice whenever he's away
And mr. baker can you tell us why your secretary had to leave this town
And shouldn't widow jones be told to keep her window shades all pulled completely down

Now mr. harper couldn't be here 'cause he's stayed too long in kelly's bar again
And if you smell shirley thompson's breath you'll find she's had a little nip of gin
And then you have the nerve to tell me as a mother you think that i ain't fit
Well this is just a little payton place and you're all harper valley hypocrits

Now i wouldn't put you on because it really did, it happened just this way
That day my mama socked it to the harper valley pta
That day my mama socked it to 'em at the harper valley pta

Of all the roads i've traveled and all the sights i've seen
The most amazing thing is the power of our dreams
And anything is possible for those who can believe
Just get your heart to rearrange its priorities
For us to make love work
We've got to try a little harder
And for love to work we gotta hold on
A human heart is just too precious
To spend it feeling hurt
Let's start to take the chance to make love work

It takes faith in one another to see things eye to eye
And it's hard to trust but you know it's worth the try
There's a candle in my window and whenever you feel blue
You can bet your bottom dollar i'll be there for you

For us to make love work
We've got to try a little bit harder
And for love to work we gotta hold on
A human heart is just too precious
To spend it feeling hurt
Let's start to take the chance to make love work

Oh i do believe in miracles
But i know they don't come easy
So why don't we give destiny
A helping hand

For us to make love work
We've got to try a little bit harder
And for love to work we gotta hold on
A human heart is just too precious
To spend it feeling hurt
Let's start to take the chance to make love work

Life is just too beautiful
To spend it feeling hurt
Let's start to take the chance to make love work

Precious memories, unseen angels
Sent from somewhere to my soul
How they linger ever near me
And the sacred scenes unfold
Precious father, loving mother
Fly across the lonely years
And those old home scenes of my childhood
In fond memory appear

Chorus:

Precious memories
How they linger
How they ever flood my soul
Then, the stillness of the midnight
Precious sacred scenes unfold

Repeat chorus

Tag:

Precious memories

Though the sun may be dawning
You're the one that lights the morning
As i awake to the heaven
Of your sweet summer lovin'
By a stream in the country
Running barefoot and feeling free
While the love in our hearts blend
Into sweet summer lovin'

Sweet summer lovin' in the dandelions
Sweet summer lovin' keeps me high as candy wine

When that big red balloon sets
Like a painting across the west
As the sky turns a crimson blue
As the world turns for me and you

By the light of the moon glowing
While the warm summer wind blows
'cross the sill of your window
We'll be letting our love flow

Sweet summer lovin' in the dandelions
Sweet summer lovin' keeps me high as candy wine

Sweet summer lovin' in the dandelions
Sweet summer lovin' keeps me high as candy wine

Sweet summer lovin'
Sweet summer lovin'
Mmm...
Sweet summer lovin'
Mmm...
Sweet summer lovin'
I love your sweet summer lovin'
Sweet summer lovin'
Sweet summer lovin'
Mmm...
Sweet summer lovin'
Mmm...
Sweet summer lovin'

You lied to me
I can't believe
That i've been such a fool
I thought this time
I might find
Someone who would play by the rules
My mind said no
But my heart said go
And again i've made the wrong turn
Now here i stand
My heart in your hands...
And i've gone from burning to burned

Ah, you'd think by now
I'd know how
To keep this heart of mine safe
It goes to show
You just never know
Who can you trust these days

How could i make
The same mistake
But as far as i'm concerned
Got myself to blame
Got to close to the flame
Now i've gone from burning to burned

Everyone knows
The old saying goes
That a fool in love
Never learns
But i guess i forgot
'cause the fire was too hot...
Now i've gone from burning to burned

Oh i guess i forgot
'cause the fire was too hot...
Now i've gone from burning to burned

An old man was sitting at his table one day
Writing a letter to pass time away
His little granddaughter climbed up on his knee
Saying won't you please write a letter for me
Oh what must i say in this letter i pray
Tell mommy i miss her since she went away
I coming to see her real soon i hope
He choked back a big lump that rose in his throat

He sealed it and wrote on that big envelope
To god up in heaven you'll get it i hope
He stamped it and handed it to her to mail
Her big eyes were shining her little face pale

She was crossing the street to the box o'er the way
And when she stepped out never looked either way
A big auto hit her and sped away fast
The little girls prayers had been answered at last

The postman was passing and picked up the note
Addressed to the master and these words he spoke
Straight up into heaven this letter did go
She's happy up there with her mommy i know

I've been waiting for so long
For someone who's as wonderful as you
Someone who's kind and always cares
And baby you're the answer to my prayers
You appear and i'm brand new
I love it, hey, i love it 'cause it's you
And for all the sweet things that you do
You got a little present comin' you
You pick me up
You keep me high up in the sky
Honey, yes you, you fill my cup
You keep a shiny and twinkling light in my eye

I've been savin' it for you
All my love, all my love, all my lovin' for tonight
I've been savin' it for you
For you, for you, for you mister right
I've been savin' it for you
All my love, all my love, all my lovin' for tonight
I've been savin' it for you
For you, for you mister right

All those worries back in town
Forget them 'cause they're nowhere to be found
All you find right here is love
And baby you are what i' ve been dreamin' of
Close the door and feel the fire
I'll love you, hey, i'll love you to the wire
And for the wonders you inspire
You got a little present comin' you

You pick me up
You keep me high up in the sky
Honey, yes you, you fill my cup
You keep a shiny and twinkling light in my eye

I've been savin' it for you
All my love, all my love, all my lovin' for tonight
I've been savin' it for you
For you, for you, for you mister right
I've been savin' it for you
All my love, all my love, all my lovin' for tonight
I've been savin' it for you
For you, for you mister right

Let's say hello a special way
Lovers who love and love to play
You have been all that i can think about
There's never a doubt it's you
And you alone that turns me on
Anticipation now is gone
And we're alone
So just get comfy and, oh yeah, unplug the phone

I've been savin' it for you
All my love, all my love, all my lovin' for tonight
I've been savin' it for you
For you, for you, for you mister right
I've been savin' it for you
All my love, all my love, all my lovin' for tonight
I've been savin' it for you
For you, for you mister right

Savin' it for you
I've been savin' it, savin' it, savin' it for you
Savin' it for you
Been savin' it for you mister right

Making believe that you still love me
It's leaving me alone and so blue
I'll always dream, still i'll never own you
Making believe, its all i can do
Can't hold you close when you're not with me
You're somebody's love, you'll never be mine
Making believe that i'll spend my lifetime
Loving you and making believe

Making believe that i never lost you
But my happy hours are fun and so few
My plans for the future will never come true
Making believe what else can i do

Can't hold you close when you're not with me
You're somebody's love, you'll never be mine
Making believe that i'll spend my lifetime
Loving you and making believe

Why why why did you say goodbye
Why did you walk out on me
Cry cry cry i feel like i could die
Why did you go and leave me lonely
What did i do
What did i say
To make you just walk out and leave me this way
Please come back and tell me
What i did wrong
And i'll make it up to you
If you'll just come back home

I'll try try try as each day goes by
To make you glad that you came back to me
No more good-byes and no more tears to cry
Every day i'll try to make you happy

What did i do
What did i say
To make you just walk out and leave me this way
Please come back and tell me
What i did wrong
And i'll make it up to you
If you'll just come back home

I'll try try try as each day goes by
To make you glad that you came back to me
No more good-byes and no more tears to cry
Every day i'll try to make you happy

He wanted more from like
Than four kids and a wife
And a job in the dark kentucky mines
A twenty-acre farm
With a shacky house and barn
That's all he had
And all he left behind
At gambling he was lucky
So he left kentucky
Left behind his woman and his kids
Into the gay casino
In nevada's town of reno
Kentucky gambler planned to get rich quick

Kentucky gambler, who's gonna love your woman in kentucky
Who's gonna be the one to give her what she needs
Kentucky gambler, who's gonna raise your children in kentucky
Who's gonna keep them fed and keep shoes on their feet

At the gamblers' paradise
Lady luck was on his side
Kentucky gambler played his cards just right
He won at everything he played
Kentucky gambler had it made
And he should have quit and gone on home that night

But when you love the greenback dollar
Sorrow's always bound to follow
Reno dreams fade into neon amber
And lady luck, she'll leave you on
She'll saty awhile, and then she's gone
You'd better go on home kentucky gambler

But a gambler never seems to stop
Til he loses all he's got
And so, kentucky gambler, he played on
He played til he lost all he won
He was right back where he started from
Then he started wanting to go home

Kentucky gambler, there ain't nobody waiting in kentucky
When you walked out, somebody else walked in
Kentucky gambler, looks like you ain't really very lucky
Seems to me a gambler looses much more than he wins

So you think about it
Kentucky gambler

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some missletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with eyes all aglow
Who find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly

And so i'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-four
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry christmas
Merry christmas
Merry christmas to you

I'm a brave little soldier
I must be bold and strong
A brave little soldier
And i must carry on
I'm a brave little soldier
A brave little soldier
I'm a brave little soldier
I must fight, i must win
I'm a brave little soldier
Through hell and back again
I'm a brave little soldier
A brave little soldier
Per rum, pum, pum
Per rum, pum, pum
Per rum, pum, pum, pum, pum

Ye though i am marching through the valley filled with fear
My steps are sure and sturdy and my aim is straight and clear
The enemy is stalking me just waiting for the kill
Like david slewed galiath
I will claim this battle field

I'm a brave little soldier
I must do what i can
I'm a brave little soldier
And i must take a stand
I'm a brave little soldier
A brave little soldier

Marching, marching onward
Searching out the light of truth
I did not start the war
But it's a battle i can't lose
Faith will be my armor
And love my sword and shield
I must defeat the enemy
I will, i will, i will

A brave little soldier
I must be bold and strong
A brave little soldier
And i must carry on
A brave little soldier
A brave little soldier

I'm a brave little soldier
A brave little soldier
Brave, little soldier

Well i've got two lovers and i ain't ashamed
Two lovers and i love them both the same
Let me tell you 'bout my first lover
He's sweet and kind, he's mine all mine
He treats me good like a lover should
And makes me love him
I really really love him
Oh oh oh oh i love him so
And i'll do everything i can
To let him know

But i've got two lovers and i ain't ashamed
Two lovers and i love them both the same

Let me tell you 'bout my other lover
You know he treats me bad, he makes me sad
He makes me cry but still i can't deny
That i love him
I really really love him
Oh oh oh oh i love him so
And i'll do everything i can
To let him know

Oh but darling, well,
Don't you know that i can tell
Whenever i look at you
That you think that i'm untrue
'cause i said that i love two
But i really really do

'cause you're a split personality
And in reality
Both of them are you

But i've got two lovers and i ain't ashamed
Two lovers and i love them both the same
I've got two lovers but i ain't ashamed
'cause both of them are you
I've got two lovers and i ain't ashamed, no
Two lovers and i love them both the same
I've got two lovers, two lovers
And both of them are you

You've made this a christmas to remember
Springtime feelin's in the middle of december
Strangers meet and they willingly surrender
Oh! what a christmas to remember
Almost went to aspen but something told me no
I considered mammoth but there wasn't enough snow
And i even thought of gatlinburg but that seemed so far to go
So i headed up to tahoe for a christmas on the slopes

And i had fantasized about christmas in this way
Curled up by a fireplace in a tahoe ski chalet
With a fast talking lover and some slow burning wood
But even in my wildest dreams it never got this good and

You've made this a christmas to remember
Springtime feelin's in the middle of december
Change the radio and i'll turn the lights down dimmer
Oh! what a christmas to remember

Strangers when we met, lovers as we leave
Christmas to remember, too good to believe
Don't know how or when, but i know we'll meet again
We'll come blowin' back to somewhere like some wild restless winter's wind

And you've made this a christmas to remember
Springtime feelin's in the middle of december
Neath the mistletoe you kissed me warm and tender
Oh! what a christmas to remember

We loved and laughed and played and joked
Sang christmas songs and talked to folks
Sleighed the fields and skied the slopes
Then to the lodge for dinner
But now it's time for us to go
As our hearts melt like chimney snow
There's just one thing i want to know
Can we do this next winter
Oh! what a christmas to remember

You've made this a christmas to remember
Springtime feelin's in the middle of december
Though the fire is hot, we'll just have to let it simmer
Oh! what a christmas to remember

You've made this a christmas to remember
Springtime feelin's in the middle of december
Though it's cold outside we'll just stroke the burning embers
Oh! what a christmas to remember

Mama didn't always have those tears in her eyes
And daddy once was able to hold his head up high
But now i brought disgrace to my whole family
Now they cry, but i'm not worth
The tears they cry for me
I loved a boy and then i found that he just lead me on
So in my hurt and bitterness
I let myself go alone
But all i did was hurt myself
And shame my family
And now they cry but i'm not worth
The tears they cry for me

No i'm not worth
The salt in one tiny tear
Oh why have i brought shame
To the one i loved so dear
I'm so sorry that i hurt them
But they'll never know how sorry
And now they cry but i'm not worth
The tears they cry for me
Yes now they cry, but i'm not worth
The tears they cry for me

Like the phoenix
From the ash and dirt
I rose up from the pain and hurt
When i was at my very worst
I found you
Thought i could never love again
When a stream of light came beaming in
A thread of hope
For me to spend around you

Chorus:

Unlikely angel
Standing there in front of me
As if you were my destiny
Like we were always meant to be together

Unlikely angel
It feels so right inside your love
Like god has sent you from above
To honor, cherish, and to love forever

The smile upon your angel face
The heaven in your eyes replace
The hell that i've been going through
Before you

How long have you been there for me
I once was blind but now i see
A future full of hope
How i adore you

Repeat chorus

Unlikely angel
Oh, you never know where one might be
In sacred halls or crowded streets
But god has sent one straight down to me from heaven

Unlikely angel
Unlikely angel
Unlikely angel
Unlikely angel
Hmmmm

Whisper:

Unlikely angel

Spotlight's on, it's shining bright
And i like standin' in it
It's only superficial light
But i don't want to end it
It's warmth and glow has taken hold
And i'm caught uup in it's shine
A cinderella fairy tale
I want to claim as mine
Fancy clothes, a magic coach
And happy ever after
Like something from a story book
The cinderella chapter
But when the clock strikes midnight
And i lie awake in bed
Things my daddy told me
Keep running through my head

You gotta walk the straight and narrow
And to thine own self be true
Gotta aim straight as an arrow
All eyes are up on you
But sometimes it feels so good
That i can almost justify
Livin' a lie -- livin' a lie
Livin' a lie -- livin' a lie

Is it wrong for me to want
The sweeter grass that's greener?
To chase the all-american dream
I've always been a dreamer
At the top and still i've got
A heavy heart inside
I keep remembering
Things my daddy told me as a child

You gotta walk the striaght and narrow
Gotta hold fast to the right
Gotta aim straight as an arrow
Walk onward toward the light
Oh, but when i'm out there in it
I think i might get by
Livin' a lie -- livin' a lie
But i don't feel right livin' a lie
Livin' a lie -- livin' a lie

All the fame and fortune
Glory and prestige
Can't make me happy if it goes
Against what i believe
And i've sacrificed my honor
My values and my pride
Livin' a lie -- livin' a lie
Livin' a lie -- livin' a lie
Livin' a lie -- livin' a lie
Livin' a lie
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, i don't feel right

I know that you're out there
Knowing that there's someone out here thinkin' of you
In your heart and in your mind
I know there is no doubt that someone loves you
And i know that you know
That i'll be waiting here when you have need of me
And when the world has chained you down
I know you know my love will set you free
How does it feel to know that someone loves you
How does it feel to know that someone's always thinkin' of you
Oh and how does it feel to know that someone puts no one above you
How does it feel to know that someone loves you, someone loves you

I have come to know and love you
Like i've never known or loved another
Words have not been made
That could describe these feelings we have for each other
And i would go to any length
To let you know at all times that i care
'cause i want you to know
That any time you reach for me you'll find me there

How does it feel to know that someone loves you
How does it feel to know that someone's always thinkin' of you
Oh and how does it feel to know that someone puts no one above you
How does it feel to know that someone loves you, someone loves you

Someone loves you, how does it feel to know it
Someone loves you, how does it feel to know that someone
Loves you, someone loves you, how does it feel, how does it feel
How does it feel to know that someone loves you
Somebody loves you, how does it feel, how does it feel
How does it feel to know that someone loves you
Someone loves you, somebody loves you
Somebody loves you, how does it feel to know it
Somebody loves you

You never send me flowers
Or ever buy me candy
You never bring me pretty things
When you come to see me
And you forgot my birthday
Oh i wish you could see
How i miss
The little things
That you don't do for me

You never say that i look nice
Or that you're proud of me
You overlook
The little things
That you should see

These little things are big enough to hurt
But too small to make me want to leave
But i do miss
The little things
That you don't do for me

Now how can i miss flowers
That never reach my door
How can i taste candy
That's still at the candy store

These little things mean a lot to me
To you they may be silly
But i do miss
The little things
That you don't do for me
Yes i miss
The little things
That you don't do for me
