A Lesson In
Leavin'
(from the
LP "Special Delivery")
Randy Goodrum
& Brent Maher * 1980 Chappell & Co. - ASCAP
Chorus:
Somebody's gonna give you a lesson in leavin'
Somebody's gonna give you back what you've been givin'
And I hope that I'm around to watch 'em knock you down
It's like you to love 'em and leave 'em
Just like you loved me and left me
It's like you to do that sort of thing over and over again
You're a fool-hearted man
I hear you've been askin' about me from some of my friends
Well, you'd better believe I'm not goin' through that again
Well, you're the kind of man a woman thinks she can change
But the only thing changin' is my way of thinkin'
And I'm thinkin' that baby someday
Chorus 2:
Somebody's gonna give you a lesson in losin'
Somebody's gonna do to you what you've been doin'
And I hope that I'm around to watch 'em knock you down
Somebody's gonna give you a lesson in hurtin'
Somebody's gonna leave you with your fire burnin'
With no way to put it out baby, there ain't no doubt
You're a fool-hearted man
Yeah, you're the kind of man a woman thinks she can change
But the only thing changin' is my way of thinkin'
And I'm thinkin' that baby someday
(Repeat chorus 2X fade)

Ain't Nothin'
Like A Woman
(from the LP "Just Dottie")
Marvin Thomas &
Mark Leggett * 1984 Lionscub Music - BMI/ASCAP
Look at you
sittin' all alone tonight
The barroom's jumpin' but it ain't quite right
You think that drinkin's gonna wash your broken heart away
Well heartache honey ain't the latest news
Let's start talkin' 'bout me and you
A love light's burning and you could use a brand new flame
Chorus:
There ain't nothin' like a woman to take a woman off of your mind
A little bit of lovin' will make you broken heart feel fine, so fine
So you've hit rock bottom, you've taken that drop
We'll I've got something that'll put you on top
There ain't nothin' like a woman to take a woman off of your mind
Baby, you're thinkin' you're the only man
Who's played at love and drawn a losing hand
Nobody told you it's a game without any rules
You'll get over what she did to you, soon as you see what I can do
Let's start walkin, there ain't no way that you can lose
(Repeat chorus)
Every now and then you've got to fight fire with fire
You could use a friend, you have been my heart's desire
(Repeat chorus)

All He Did Was
Tell Me Lies (To Try To Woo Me)
(from the
LP "Special Delivery")
Kim Carnes *
1975 Gold Mine Music - ASCAP
Chorus:
All he did was tell me lies
to try to woo me
After all his talk I guess he won the prize
Never meant to stay, how could he do it to me
Everybody says I was such a fool to believe in a lover's lie
The king of hearts has won the final inning
He made his move and played his hand so well
But now he thinks he's got it made 'cause no one can tie him down
Everybody says that he's the king of fools
For givin' me the run around
(Repeat chorus)
And who woulda thought that a girl like me could sway so easily
Just when I thought I had a good thing, he left my lyin' in misery
(Repeat chorus 2x
and fade)

All I Ever Need
Is You (With
Kenny Rogers)
(from the LP "Classics")
Jimmy Holiday
& Eddie Reeves *
1970 United Artists Music -ASCAP
Sometimes when
I'm down and all alone
I feel just like a child without a home
The love you give me keeps me hangin' on, honey
All I ever need is you
You're my first love, you're my last
You're my future, you're my past
Oh, loving you is all I ask, honey
All I ever need is you
Winters come and then they go
And we watch the melting snow
Sure as summer follows spring
All the things you do give me a reason
To build me world around you
Some men follow rainbows I am told,
Some men search for silver, some for gold
But I've found my treasure in your soul, honey
All I ever need is you
Without love I'd never find a way,
Through ups and downs of every single day,
And I won't sleep at night until you say, honey
All I ever need is you
La, La, La, La, La, La,
La, La,
La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La
The love you give me
keeps me hanging on (honey)
All I ever need is you
La, La, La, La, La,
La, La, La,
La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La
But I found my
treasure in your soul (honey)
All I ever need is you (that's right)
La, La, La, La, La,
La, La, La,
La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La
Whoa (oh, you sing good!) All I ever need is you
(Fade)

All Night Long
(from the
LP "When It's Just You And Me")
1977 EMI - BMI
It's gonna be a
beautiful evening
A table for two at our favorite restaurant
I know just what you'll want
Later maybe take in a movie
Holding hands like kids in the back of the picture show
Where the lights are low
Then we'll go dancing and hold each other tight
And when we both feel like the feelin's just right
Chorus:
We'll go home and love on each other all night long
We'll put on our favorite lovin' song and turn out the light
And we'll hold on to this feelin' we've got burning strong
And until the morning brings the dawn, we'll love on each other
All night long
(Repeat chorus)

All The World Is
Lonely Now
(from the LP
"Here Comes My Baby")
Mel Foree
* 1957 Acuff-Rose Publishing - BMI
Yesterday you
said you loved me
Today you say it's over now
Why did you go away and leave me
All the world is lonely now
I tried so hard to make you happy
With love your heart would not allow
It's hard to know you'll never love me
All the world is lonely now
Goodbye good luck and may God bless you
I'll try to get along somehow
I know I'll never love another
All the world is lonely now
All the world is lonely now

Almost Persuaded
(from the LP
"With All My Heart And Soul")
Billy
Sherrill & Glenn Sutton * 1966 Algee Music - BMI
Last night all
alone in a barroom met a man who set my heart awhirl
He had a smile on his lips and coal black hair and eyes that would tempt any
girl
Then he came and sat down at my table and as he placed his warm hand in mine
I found myself wanting to hold him for temptation was flowin' like wine
And I was almost persuaded to strip myself of my pride
Almost persuaded to push my conscience aside
Then we danced and he whispered I need you come with me let me be your man
Then I looked into his eyes and I saw it, the reflection of my wedding band
And I was almost persuaded to let strange lips lead me on
Almost persuaded but your sweet love made me stop and go home

American Trilogy
(from the
Cd "Country Ladies")
Mickey
Newberry * 1971 Acuff Rose Music - BMI
Oh I wish I was
in the land of cotton
Old times there, they are not forgotten
Look away, look away, look away, my Dixieland
Oh I wish I was in Dixie, away, away
In Dixieland I'll take my stand to live and die in Dixie
You see Dixieland, that’s where I was born
Early Lord one frosty morning
Look away, look away, look away, sweet Dixieland
And glory, glory hallelujah
Glory, glory hallelujah
Glory, glory hallelujah
His truth is marching on
So hush little babies don’t you cry
You know your daddy’s bound to die
But all these trials, Lord, will soon be over
Glory, glory hallelujah
His truth is marching on
His truth is marching on

And I'm Still
Missing You
(from
the LP "Forever Yours")
Chuck Glaser
& James O. Payne * 1970 Glaser Brothers Publications - BMI
People laugh and
love and cry and I'm still missing you
The paper boy still comes around just like he used to do
But he's a little taller now and I'm still missing you
The leaves are piled against the fence the sky is hazy blue
There's talk about an early snow and I'm still missing you, I'm still
missing you
The swirling winds of time bring many changes
But for me they only blow across the surface of my heart
And they can't cool this memory of you that burns so deep inside me
Dick and Jane came by today their baby's almost due
People laugh and love and cry and I'm still missing you
I'm still missing you

An Angel On
Paper
(from the
LP "Country Girl Singing Sensation")
Paul Borst &
Delmar Williams * 1960 Fort Knox Music - BMI
An angel on
paper, that's all that's left for me
I sit here and look at your picture tonight
Oh how my empty arms long to hold you tight
Your footsteps fade, you walk away out into the night
A star just fell, the moon just hit, my angel's out of site
Chorus:
An angel on paper, that's all that's left for me
No more to see your lovin' face, you're just a memory
Why did I have to fall so hard, I knew it couldn't be
An angel's face on paper, that's all that's left for me
Why does it seem the
nicest things in life don't come to stay?
You took to the thrill of living when you walked away
My friends say not to worry now, a new love there will be
An angel's face on paper, that's all that's left for me
(Repeat chorus)
|
Another Heart
For You To Break
(from the
LP "Suffer Time")
Carl Belew,
Jeannie Seely & Clyde Pitts * 1966 Four Star Music - BMI/ASCAP
I wish I had
another heart for you to break
For my heart's out of style and hurt so much that I can't smile
I may be a fool that's not my first or last mistake
And I wish I had another heart for you to break
When your love for me died you left that an empty shell inside
And endless memory where my heart used to be
You may hurt me again but that's a chance I'll gladly take
I wish I had another heart for you to break
I wish I had another heart for you to break

Another Somebody
Done Somebody Wrong Song
(with Kenny Rogers)
(from the LP
"Classics")
Larry Butler
& Chips Moman * Screen Gems-EMI Publishing - BMI
It's so lonely out tonight
And the feelin' just got right for a brand new love song
Somebody done somebody wrong song
Chorus:
Hey, won'tcha play another somebody done somebody wrong song
And make me feel at home while I miss my baby, while I miss my baby
So play, play for me a sad melody
So sad that it makes everybody cry
A real hurtin' song about a love that's gone wrong
'Cause I don't want to cry all alone
(Repeat chorus)
(Repeat
2nd verse)
(Repeat chorus 3x)
I miss my
baby

Anyone Who
Isn't Me Tonight
(with Kenny Rogers)
(from the LP "Every Time Two Fools Collide")
Julie Didier
& Casey Kelly * 1977 Warner Chappell Music - ASCAP
When you made
love to me to night
I felt as if I'd died and gone to heaven
And if that's how it feels to die then
Lay me in your arms I'm through with livin'
I'll get down on my knees and thank the Good Lord up above
That I'm the lucky girl you chose to love
Chorus:
And I feel sorry for anyone who isn't me tonight
So if you think I'm braggin', well you're right
Your love has sent me flyin' and I'm higher than a kite
And I feel sorry for anyone who isn't me tonight
You've got the kind of body that was made
To give a man a lot of pleasure
But what you've givin' me tonight is more than
Anything on earth can measure
Every inch of you that's woman
Makes me that much more a man
I've just about enjoyed all I can stand
(Repeat chorus 2x)
|
Anytime
(from
the LP "Dottie Sings Eddy")
Herbert
Lawson * 1921 Unichappel Music - ASCAP
Anytime you're
feeling lonely anytime you're feeling blue
And anytime you feel down hearted that will prove your love for me is
true
Anytime you're thinking 'bout me well, that's the time I'll be thinking of
you
So anytime you say that you want me back again
That's the time I'll come back home to you
Anytime you're thinking 'bout me, that's the time thinking 'bout you
And anytime you say you want me back again
That's the time I'll come on back to you
That's the time that I'll come running back to you

Are You Happy
Baby
(from the
LP "Wild West")
Bob Stone *
1980 Rock Garden Music - BMI
Are you happy
baby?
After what you've put me through
I hope you're happy baby 'cause I
I don't believe you're gonna find anyone
Who loves you better than I do
Sometimes I wonder if you ever knew
How much you were hurtin' me
You fell in love with someone else and just like that
You deserted me
I haven't seen you for so long, thought I'd call,
I wonder
Are you happy baby?
Do you miss me at all?
Oooh, before you go now
I've just gotta know now
Are you happy baby?
Is she there to stand by you?
(Does she mean that much to you?)
Was it worth it baby?
'Cause I, I don't believe you're gonna find
Anyone who loves you better than I do
Some friends of yours and mine say lately
Things with you ain't been so good
I told you I would never take you back again
But babe, you know I would
Doesn't matter anymore, who was wrong
I wonder, are you happy baby?
Don't you wanna come home?
(Are you happy baby)
Are you happy baby
(Are you happy baby, are you happy baby)
Are you happy baby
(Are you happy baby, are you happy baby)
Don't you wanna, wanna come home
(Are you happy baby)
(and fade out)

Are You Lonesome
Tonight
(from
the LP "I'm Only A Woman")
Roy Turk &
Lou Handman * 1926 Cromwell Music - ASCAP
Are you lonesome
tonight? Do you miss me tonight? Are you sorry we drifted apart?
Does your memory stray to a bright summer day, when you kissed me and called
me sweetheart?
Does the room where we once loved seem empty and bare?
Do you gaze at your pillow and picture me there?
Is your heart filled with pain? Could I come back again?
Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?
(spoken)
I wonder if you're lonesome tonight
You know someone once said the world's a stage and everyone must play a part
Fate had me playing in love with you as my sweetheart
Act one was where we met, you read your lines so well and never missed a cue
Then act two you seemed to change you acted strange and just why I never knew
Honey, you lied when you said you loved me and I had no cause to doubt you
And I'd rather go on hearing your lies than to go on living without you
So, the stage is bare and I'm standing there with emptiness all around
And if you won't come back to me then they can bring the curtains down
Could I come back again?
Tell me dear are you lonesome tonight?

As For Me
(with Arne Benoni)
(from the
Arne Benoni CD "As For Me")
Dennis Coats *
1991 Kingcoats Music - SESAC
Lying here beside
you, I light up a cigarette
Wondering what's going through your mind
Isn't it amazing how two perfect strangers get this close
In such a small amount of time
Is this the warm occasion only the beginning of how life is gonna be
Was it as good for you as for me
Funny how it happened, at the perfect time and place
We were drawn together by a glance
I just had to meet you, hoping I'd come face to face with love
It surely was worth a chance
One thing led to another and the sweet remainder of the night is history
Was it as good for you as for me
As for me, I'll never be the same as before
And as for you, please say you will be mine ever more
And that this warm occasion is only the beginning of how life is gonna be
Was it as good for you as for me
As for me

As Long As I
Love
(from
the LP "Country & West")
Dolly Parton *
1970 Owepar Publishing - BMI
Hurt is no
stranger to me and oh how well I know misery
You always hurt me and I always forgive and I'll hurt for as long as I love
you
And I'll love you for as long as I live
Oh it's my fault for loving you so deeply I give you my love completely
I give you love but hurt is all you give and I'll hurt for as long as I love
you
And I'll love you for as long as I live
For as long as I love you there'll be pain
Though tears come and go my love remains the same
I'll always forgive you yes you know that I will and I'll hurt for as long
as I love you
And I'll love you for as long as I live
Yes I'll hurt for as long as I love you and I'll love you for as long as I
live
