1. _ Vanilla O'lay
You treated me like a schoolgirl lover,
We never did follow any rules.
Into your arms and i'm running for cover,
All of my strings i've tied to you.
Can you hear the gypsy turnpike, oh it's calling.
So take our things out to the car.
And as the shades of night are fallin'
You're my bright and guiding star.
Vanilla o'lay, o'lay, o'lay, lay-la lay-la.
Vanilla o'lay, o'lay, o'lay, lay-la.
Vanilla o'lay, o'lay, o'lay, lay-la lay-la.
Vanilla o'lay, o'lay, o'lay, lay-la.
Oh my, my, my, my, you're looking better,
Seems like you were never ill.
The doctor, he's gonna send you a letter |
2. _ Wait For Me Down By The River
I gave my heart to a gamblin' man,
He only wanted to play.
He told me he'd take me to new orleans town,
By morning we'd be on our way.
He gave me champagne and danced me round,
His fancy words messed up my mind.
He kissed me and called me 'his lady'
And he left his young girl behind.
He told me, "wait for me down by the river
If i'm not back by sunrise, then pray.
I'll be on my way to heaven or hell
And i hear it is such a long way."
I was struck round by the devil,
He took me away to the stars.
I cried out all night for my darling,
But the windows were all locked and barred.
He took this young rose from the garden,
He tore it right out off the ground.
I traded my soul for a rainbow of gold
And the rainbow's come tumbling down.
He told me, "wait for me down by the river,
If i'm not back by sunrise, then pray.
I'll be on my way to heaven or hell
And i hear it is such a long way."
He told me, "wait for me down by the river,
If i'm not back by sunrise, then pray.
I'll be on my way to heaven or hell
And i hear it is such a long way."
He told me, "wait for me down by the river,
If i'm not back by sunrise, then pray.
I'll be on my way to heaven or hell
And i hear it's such a long way."
He told me, "wait for me down by the river
If i'm not back by sunrise, then pray.
I'll be on my way to heaven or hell
And i hear it's such a long way."
He told me, "wait for me down by the river
If i'm not back by sunrise, then pray.
I'll be on my way to heaven or hell
And i hear it is such a long way."
He told me, "wait for me down by the river
If i'm not back by sunrise, then pray.
I'll be on my way ..."

Oh, lady madeleine,
I miss you baby, i can't stand the pain.
And i walk down the avenue

4. _ I'll Be Your Baby Tonight
Close your eyes, close the door,
You don't have to worry anymore.
I'll be your baby tonight.
Shut the light, shut the shade,
You don't have to be afraid.
I'll be your baby tonight.
That mockingbird's going to sing away,
We're gonna forget it.
That big fat moon is gonna shine like a spoon
But we're gonna let it, you won't regret it.
Kick your shoes off, do not fear,
Bring that bottle over here.
I'll be your baby tonight.
That mockingbird's going to sing away,
We're gonna forget it.
That big fat moon is gonna shine like a spoon
But we're gonna let it, you won't regret it.
Kick your shoes off, do not fear,
Bring that bottle over here.
I'll be your baby tonight.

5. _ All I Wanna Do In Life
You've been right and i've been wrong,
I've been weak and you've been strong.
You've been good and i've been bad,
Think i've had enough of that.
'cause all i wanna do in life
Is to love somebody with all my might.
All i wanna do in life
Is to love somebody with all my might.
I loved the days, you loved the night,
I loved to love, you loved to fight.
I drive to you, you're far away,
It gets harder every day.
All i wanna do in life
Is to love somebody with all my might.
All i wanna do in life
Is to love somebody with all my might.
Wish you could be a friend of mine,
Wish you could learn to play with time.
You say i dream my life away |
6. _ Dreamin' My Dreams
I hope that i won't be that lone anymore
Maybe i've learned this time.
I hope that i find what i'm reaching for,
The way that is easin' my mind.
Some day i'll get over you,
I'll live to see it all through,
But i'll always miss
Dreamin' my dreams
With you.
But i won't let it change me, not if i can,
I'd rather believe in love.
I'll give it away as much as i can
To those that i'm fondest of.
Some day i'll get over you,
I'll live to see it all through,
But i'll always miss
Dreamin' my dreams
With you.
La, la la, la la la, la la,
La la, la la, la la.
La la la la, la la la la la,
La la, la la, la la.
Some day i'll get over you,
I'll live to see it all through,
But i'll always miss
Dreamin' my dreams
With you.
But i'll always miss
Dreamin' my dreams
With you.

7. _ The Way You Want Me To Be
I wish i could dance like fontaine,
Floating along on a breeze,
But when you come home
And i get you alone
I wish that i could put you at ease.
I wish i could sing you a love song,
Sing about the silvery moon,
But the things that you say
When i think it's ok
Always seem to sing out of tune.
Oh, i'm not the way
That you want me to be,
No, it's not like me,
No, it's not like me.
You say i should dress like a lady,
Read all the best magazines,
But the people in there
And the clothes that they wear,
Take it from the girl of your dreams.
You wish i could be a show-piece
Something to show all your friends
Is it true what they say,
That i get in your way ?
Is this about the place that it ends ?
I'm not the way
That you want me to be,
No, it's not like me,
No, it's not like me.
I wish i could dance like fontaine,
Floating along on the breeze
And when you come home
And i get you alone
I wish that i could put you at ease.

8. _ I'm Not Lisa
I'm not lisa,
My name is julie.
Lisa left you
Years ago.
My eyes are not blue,
But mine won't leave you
Till the sunlight
Has touched your face.
She was your morning light,
Her smile told of no night.
Your love for her grew
With each rising sun.
And then one winter day
His hand laid her away,
She left you here
Drowning in your tears,
Here, where you've stayed for years,
Crying,"lisa, lisa."
I'm not lisa,
My name is julie.
Lisa left you
Years ago.
My eyes are not blue,
But mine won't leave you
Till the sunlight
Shines through your face.
I'm not lisa.

9. _ This Time
This time
If you want me to come back
It's up to you,
But remember
I want a lot other things you used to do
You're gonna have to toe the mark and walk the line.
This time will be the last time.
This time
If i should feel unwanted
I won't stay.
Each tomorrow
Will depend on the love you give today.
It's all up to you to stand by.
This time will be the last time.
If this time should be
Anything like the other time
This time will be the last time.
This time
If you want me to come back
It's up to you,
But remember
I want a lot of things you used to do.
You're gonna have to toe the mark and walk the line.
This time will be the last time.
If this time should be
Anything like the other time
This time will be the last time.

10. _ Wrong Road Again
I can't seem to learn not to love you,
You get to me every time.
You're someone i just can't say 'no' to,
And you're so good at changing my mind.
Here i go down that wrong road again,
Going back where i've already been.
Even though i know where it will end,
Here i go down that wrong road again.
Though i see the web that you're weaving,
You and your soft easy lies,
If i stop to think i'm believing,
And i'm falling for you one more time.
Here i go down that wrong road again,
Going back where i've already been,
Even though i know where it will end
Here i go down that wrong road again.
Here i go down that wrong road again,
Going back where i've already been.
Even though i know where it will end,
Here i go down that wrong road again.
Here i go down that wrong road again,
Going back where i've already been.
Even though i know where it will end,
Here i go down that wrong road again.
Here i go down that wrong road again,
Going back where i've already been.

11. _ Fairy Tale Hero
Did he take you out dancing, holding you tight,
Did he show you steps one, two, and three ?
Did he leave you at your doorway, whispering good-night ?
I wish i'd been there to see how he did it,
I wish i'd been there to see.
When you went on vacation to paris and rome,
Did he show you how sweet life can be ?
Did he make his reservation, exercised his rights ?
I wish i'd been there to see how he did it,
I wish i'd been there to see.
What became of the night on a six cylinder charger
With money to burn and a castle for two ?
Now poor cinderella will always remember
The fairy tale hero that almost came true.
Did he tell you he'd love you as long as he'll live
But however he'd never be free,
'cause he loves his wife and children waiting there at home.
I wish i'd been there to see how he did it,
I wish i'd been there to see.
What became of the night on a six cylinder charger
With money to burn and a castle for two ?
Now poor cinderella will always remember
The fairy tale hero that almost came true.
What became of the night on a six cylinder charger
With money to burn and a castle for two ?
Now poor cinderella will always remember

12. _ That Was The Day (nashville)
Going home in a trailer filled with canada dry,
Looking forward to being with you.
Got in to the broadway and what do i find ?
Some lady's been sleeping there, too.
I was dreamin' of our meetin' all down the m1
'cause i hadn't seen you for so long.
Then out of the blue, something came down and warned me
And i sat there and wrote down this song.
That was the day that the coke came to nashville,
That was the day i laughed till i cried.
That was the day all my dreams turned to ashes
And i lost my blues and i smiled.
Well, i walked in the door and i heard you two laughing,
Just like i'd hoped that we'd do.
So i went up the stairs, left your keys on the table,
And i wrote on the mirror, 'we're through!'.
That was the day that the coke came to nashville,
That was the day that i had, honey.
That was the day that the coke came to nashville,
And i've got the blues out just bad.
Going home on a train, going back to my mother,
Feeling better already, keep telling myself:
'don't you cry, you'll forget him and find a new lover,
So let's sit back and drink to his health.'
That was the day that the coke came to nashville,
That was the day i laughed till i cried.
That was the day that i felt my heart breaking,
Ain't it funny, after all i've survived.
Ain't it funny, after all i've survived.

13. _ I'm Looking For Blue Eyes
What's happened to blue eyes,
Has anyone seen him ?
Don't anyone tell me
That he gave up on me.
I'm looking for blue eyes
I gotta find him,
I gotta know if,
If he's been looking for me.
There was a time blue eyes said he'd love no other,
His one and only love, he swore at me.
There was a time when his blue eyes were clearer than mine did
It isn't right, he isn't to blame, he didn't mean it this way.
What's happened to blue eyes,
Has anyone seen him ?
Don't anyone tell me
That he gave up on me ?
I'm looking for blue eyes
I've got to find him
I don't know if,
If he's been looking for me.
What's happened to blue eyes ?

14. _ Sweet Little Sixteen
They're really rockin' in boston, pittsburgh, pa,
Deep in the heart of texas and 'round the frisco bay.
All over st. louis, 'way down in new orleans,
All the cats gonna dance with sweet little sixteen.
Sweet little sixteen, she's just got to have
About a half a million signed autographs.
Her wallet's filled with pictures, she gets 'em one by one,
She gets so excited, watch her, look at her run.
Oh mommy, mommy, please may i go ?
It's such a sight to see somebody steal the show.
Oh daddy, daddy, i beg of you,
It's all right with mommy, it's all right with you.
'cause they'll be rockin' on bandstand, in pittsburgh, pa
Deep in the heart of texas, 'way down in frisco bay.
All over st. louis, 'way down in new orleans,
All the cats gonna dance with sweet little sixteen.

15. _ It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels
As i sit here tonight, the jukebox playing
That old song about the wild, wild side of life.
As i listen to the words you are saying,
It brings memories when i was a trusting wife.
It wasn't god who made honky tonk angels
As you say in the words of your song.
Too many times married men think they're still single
And that's caused many a good girl to go wrong.
It's a shame that all the blame is on us women,
It's not true that only you, men, feel the same.
From the start most every heart that's been broken
Was because there always was a man to blame.
It wasn't god who made honky tonk angels
As you said in the words of your song.
Too many times married men think they're still single
And that's caused many a good girl to go wrong.
It wasn't god who made honky tonk angels
As you said in the words of your song.
Too many times married men think they're still single
And that's caused many a good girl to go wrong.
It wasn't god who made honky tonk angels
As you said in the words of your song.
Too many times married men think they're still single
And that's caused many a good girl to go wrong.
It wasn't god who made honky tonk angels
As you said in the words of your song.
Too many times married men think they're still single
And that's caused many a good girl to go wrong.
