Don't do it darlin'
Don't you dare look in there
You said you didn't want to see me
But you've been lookin' for me everywhere
And you know that you're gonna find me
If you keep on drinkin' fast
'cause honey i'm right there waitin' on you
At the bottom of your glass

And here i am
Here i am
In the bourbon and the water
That burn you just like a brand
Here i am

It ain't workin' darlin'
Hard as you may try
You keep hearin' the words you told me
In everyone's goodbye
And you know that you're just one step
From another one being gone
I know i've seen 'em all unravel
I've been watchin' it all along

And here i am
Here i am
In every lie you're hearin'
That burn you just like a brand
Here i am

And honey, i got over you passin' me over
A long time ago
And my pride was stronger when i was younger
Now i'd rather have you to know

That here i am
Here i am
I still carry a flame for you
Burnin' me like a brand
Here i am

(mike lawler/bill rice/sharon rice)

Well, good mornin'
Tell me how'd you sleep last night
You're still smiling
So we must've done something right
Don't feel guilty
Because you turned to me last night

We ain't done nothin' wrong
We've just been lonely too long
No, we ain't done nothin' wrong
We've just been lonely too long

It's only natural
When you've been too long in the dark
To look for comfort
And to warm yourself by the fire
We're just afraid
That we might get our fingers burned

But we ain't done nothin' wrong
We've just been lonely too long
No, we ain't done nothin' wrong
We've just been lonely too long

Nothing's wrong that can't be cured
With a new love
All you need is someone like me to
Be sure of, to be your love

I'll be waiting
Standing right outside your heart
And i'll be watching
For the slightest sign of a spark
And i'll be here
If you should want to turn to me

'cause we ain't done nothin' wrong
We've just been lonely too long
No, we ain't done nothin' wrong
We've just been lonely too long

We ain't done nothin' wrong
We've both been lonely too long
Oh, just been lonely too long
Both been lonely too long
Just been lonely too long

Way on past the boulevards
Out here underneath the stars
I've been flying past the houses, farms and fields
Leaving all i know back there
Rushing through the cold night air
And i'm holding on to nothin' but the wheel

Staying clear of the interstate
I'm seeking out those old two lanes
Trying to explain the way i feel
Till all at once it's half past three
And it's down...to just the trucks and me
And i'm holding on to nothin' but the wheel

I've been trying to drive you off my mind
Maybe that way baby i can leave it all behind
And forty-one goes on and on
And the lights go winding in the dawn
The sky's the color now of polished steel
And the only thing i know for sure
Is if you don't want me anymore
Then i'm holding on to nothin' but the wheel

And the only thing i know for sure
Is if you don't want me anymore
Then i'm holding on to nothin' but the wheel

I'm holding on to nothin' but the wheel

(matraca berg/tim krekel)

The car is runnin' and your bags are packed
I guess that says it all
Your head is hangin' and you look real sad
Maybe you should've called
You say you think you need a brand-new start
You're really sorry that you broke my heart
Well, i'm not really fallin' apart, but baby

You can feel bad if it makes you feel better
Picture me cryin' reading all your love letters
Walkin' around in your old sweaters, baby
You can feel bad if it makes you feel better

Maybe i'll go out tonight, yeah, i'll paint the town
And maybe i'll run into you, while i'm runnin' 'round
There's a good chance i'll be alone
An even better one that you won't
And when it's time for me to go home, baby

You can feel bad if it makes you feel better
Picture me cryin' reading all your love letters
Walkin' around in your old sweaters, baby
You can feel bad if it makes you feel better
If it makes you feel something

Yeah, take another look at these tears i'm crying
They're not fallin' on your shoulders, they're fallin' on mine
Yeah, ive seen this comin' for a long, long time
Now, i'll be just fine

You can feel bad if it makes you feel better
And picture me cryin' reading all your love letters
Walkin' around in your old sweaters, baby
You can feel bad if it makes you feel better

You can feel bad if it makes you feel better
And picture me cryin' reading all your love letters
Walkin' around in your old sweaters, baby
You can feel bad if it makes you feel better

If it makes you feel something
If it makes you feel better

(harlan howard/kostas)

You've got a thing or two to learn about me baby
'cause i ain't taking it no more and i don't mean maybe
You'll don't know right from wrong
Well the love we had is gone
So blame it on your lying, cheating, cold deadbeating,
Two-timing, double dealing
Mean mistreating, loving heart

Well all i wanted was to be your one and only
And all i ever got from you was being lonely
Now that dream is laid to rest
'cause you have failed the test
Hey blame it on your lying, cheating, cold deadbeating,
Two-timing, double dealing
Mean mistreating, loving heart

Are you headed for a heartache, oh yeah
Gonna get a bad break, oh yeah
You made a bad mistake, oh yeah
Well, you're never gonna find another love like mine
Someone's gonna do you like you done me honey
And when she does you like she'll do you, it ain't funny
You'll need some sympathy
But don't be calling me
Hey blame it on your lying, cheating, cold deadbeating
Two-timing, double dealing
Mean mistreating, loving heart

Are you headed for a heartache, oh yeah
Gonna get a bad break, oh yeah
You made a bad mistake, oh yeah
Well, you're never gonna find another love like mine
Someone's gonna do you like you done me honey
And when she does you like she'll do you, it ain't funny
You need some sympathy
But don't be calling me
Hey blame it on your lying, cheating, cold deadbeating
Two-timing, double dealing
Mean mistreating, loving heart

Hey blame it on your lying, cheating, cold deadbeating, two-timing, double dealing
Mean mistreating, loving heart

I try to think about elvis
Memphis
Oprah in the afternoon
I try to think about palm trees
Fig leaves
The creature from the black lagoon
I try to think about high heels
And good deals
Anything to get me through
I just can't concentrate
You're all i think about these days

I try to contemplate the cosmos
What goes
Round and round the sky at night
I try to think about champagne
Freight trains
Slowly rolling out of sight
I try to focus on the headlines
Street crimes
Everytime i think i might
I just can't concentrate
You're all i think about these days

My mind wanders where it will
When it settles right on you
I forget what i should say
I forget what i should do

My mind wanders where it will
When it settles right on you
I forget what i should say
I forget what i should do

I try to think about shakespeare
Leap year
The beatles or the rolling stones
I try to think about hair-do's
Tattoos
Sushi bars and saxophones
I try to think about the talk shows
New clothes
But i guess i should have known
I just can't concentrate
You're all i think about these days
You're all i think about these days
