Patty Loveless: Greatest Hits

(hal bynum/bud reneau)

Bought a ticket to seattle but i can't get to the plane
Everytime i leave you i keep running out of chain
I hunger for your love it never gives me any slack
But if i ever break away, i'm never coming back to these

Chains, chains, shackles and chains
No matter what it takes some day i'm gonna break these
Chains, chains, shackles and chains
These love taking, heart breaking, cold, hard, lonely making chains

You never try to hold me 'till you see me walking out
I guess you'd rather be with me than ever be without
You call me back and kiss me and my heart begins to sink
When i know that all you're doing's taking up another link in these

Chains, chains, shackles and chains
No matter what it takes some day i'm gonna break these
Chains, chains, shackles and chains
These love taking, heart breaking, cold, hard, lonely making chains

Love was never meant to be a one-way street
I was never meant to be falling at your feet
You got me where you want me and i don't know what to do
You don't belong to me but i belong to you in these

Chains, chains, shackles and chains
No matter what it takes some day i'm gonna break these
Chains, chains, shackles and chains
These love taking, heart breaking, cold, hard, lonely making chains

(matraca berg/ronnie samoset)

There's a man in a stetson hat, howlin' like an alley cat
Outside my window tonight
Sayin', "baby, put on something hot, meet me in the parking lot
About a quarter to nine"

I get the feelin' that he's never read romeo and juliet
I'm gettin' tired of these one night stands
But if you wanna make a real romance

I'm that kind of girl, i'm that kind of girl
I ain't the woman in red, i ain't the girl next door
But if somewhere in the middle's what you're lookin' for
I'm that kind of girl, yes i'm that kind of girl

Let me tell you that i like my lovin' just as much as any woman
But i'm drawin' the line
A little sensitivity always seems to get to me every time
I'm a sucker for a love-sick fool
The kind that carries all your books in school
I'm getting tired of these one night stands
But if you're lookin' for a real romance

I'm that kind of girl, i'm that kind of girl
I ain't the woman in red, i ain't the girl next door
But if somewhere in the middle's what you're lookin' for
I'm that kind of girl, yes i'm that kind of girl

I'm that kind of girl, i'm that kind of girl
I ain't the woman in red, i ain't the girl next door
But if somewhere in the middle's what you're lookin' for
I'm that kind of girl, yes i'm that kind of girl

I'm that kind of girl, oh whoa
I'm that kind of girl, oh whoa

Well it seems that everyone we've known
Their love's grown cold will
Will ours stand as stone?
One by one they break.
It's such a shame.
And now you say that you want to do the same.

Chorus
Don't toss us a-way so thoughtlessly
It just ain't right
Oh can't you see
I still love you
I want you to stay
Darling please, don't toss us away
(ending darling please, don't toss us away.)
Well just think of all that we've been through
The world we're building me and you
How could all those years be tossed away
In just one moment in just one day.

Chrous

Don't toss us away it just ain't right
To let love just die without a fight
I still love you
I want you to stay
Darling please
Don't toss us away

So now i'm asking once again to understand to be my friend
Oh it hurt so bad to think you'd go still the same i love you so.
Chorus
