Some men treat you just like a lady
Others treat you just like a child
& they can drive you so far away
Or they can drive you wild
Some you wanna show to your mama
& some you wouldn't show to your dad
Some wanna take you straight to the altar
& some just wanna take you to bed
CHORUS:
Wo men, I'm here to tell you about 'em
Men, we couldn't make it without 'em
I've loved a few & I've found that a few need a friend
There's nothin' better than men to hold
There's nothin' better than men
Some men are as cold as December
Some are 'bout as hot as July
Sometimes they fill your life with happiness
Sometimes they make you cry
(repeat chorus & fade)
Sleepin' With The Radio On
(Steve Davis)
My heart beats with the lonely rain
Wishin' I could see your face again
Change the dial on the radio
Find somethin' playin' kinda bluesy & slow
If things were only like they used to be
With you lyin' in love tonight
I wish you'd call me on the telephone
I don't wanna spend another night alone
Sleepin' with the radio on
It's the only way I can make it till dawn
Sleepin' with the radio on
You're on my mind & I can't forget you
It's gettin' late, almost quarter to 4
I hear a knock at my door
Stumble in the dark & hear your voice again
Open up the door & let the sunshine in
Take me in your arms & make love nice & slow
It's so good to be this close to you
No more nights of sleepin' alone
No more days with these lovesick blues
'Cause we'll be sleepin' with the radio on
Let's take the rest of the day together, back together
& I'll unplug the telephone
Now that you're here, I'm gonna love you forever
(repeat & fade):
Sleepin' with the radio on
I don't want more of those nights all alone
Sleepin' with the radio on
You're on my mind & I can't forget you
Surround Me With Love
(Norris Wilson/Wayland Hollyfield)
Sometimes when life's poison arrows shoot me to the ground
Dreams come fallin' down, friends just can't be found
I don't worry, I don't wonder, I know what to do
I don't go crazy, I just go for you
CHORUS:
Surround me with love, I need you beside me
I want you to hold & hide me
When this world is closin' in on me
Surround me with love, oh & I can make it
Whatever comes, you know I can take it
Just as long as you surround me with love
Who can say what comes tomorrow, what the future holds
What lies down the road, heaven only knows
But one thing I know for certain, one thing that's true
One thing I'm sure of is I need you
(chorus)
The Very Best Is You
(Frank Stephens/Larry Shell)
Why would I want another when the very best is you?
There's so many out there cheatin', but you know I like bein' true
They're all searchin' for somethin' that I've already found in you
With all the love you've given, it's so easy to be true
Why would I want another when the very best is you?
Every time I look at you, love is all I see
Baby you're the greatest thing that's happened to me
You're all that I could ever want, it's easy to be true
Why would I want another when the very best is you?
(instrumental)
You're all that I could ever want, it's easy to be true
Why would I want another when the very best is you?
When the very best is you
Radio Heart
(Stephen Davis/Dennis Morgan)
Married at 16, 2 kids by 21
But he couldn't take it, now she's raisin' them on her own
Between the bills & the laundry, sometimes she's so lonely she cries
But she's found an escape from some of the achin' inside
CHORUS:
She's got a radio heart
She loves the songs they play, they take him off her mind
She's got a radio heart
It helps fill an empty space he left behind
She gets lost in a steel guitar
Oh it's her way out when the heartache starts
She's found a little salvation in a local station
She's got a radio heart
She'll finish clearin' the table & put the kids off to bed
She tries to watch an old movie, but she thinks of him instead
She lies alone in the dark & stares at the lighted dial
She gets into the music & out of this world for a while
(chorus)
(repeat & fade):
She's got a radio heart
When It's Down To Me And You (with Wayne Massey)
(Stephen Davis/Dennis Morgan)
C: If it was up to the boss, I think he'd work you to death
W: We got bills to pay & we're up to our necks in debt
C: I went to pick up the truck, the radiator still leaks
W: Sometimes it feels like we're stuck with no paddle up a creek
CHORUS (BOTH):
Baby when it's down to me & you
We leave our worries at the door
We got more important things to do
Baby when it's down to me & you
We just make up for life's little problems
By makin' love the whole night through
C: Well the price of groceries goes up every day
W: Seems like our hard-earned money just up & flies away
C: Sometimes it feels like we're backed in a corner up against the
wall
W: But puttin' up with the hassles isn't really a hassle at all,
'cause...
(chorus)
C: We'll lock the world outside
W: Oh we've made up our minds
BOTH: Love is all that matters tonight
(instrumental)
(repeat chorus & fade)
Don't Touch Me There
(Michael Patrick Heeney)
These hands, you can hold 'em all night if you want to
& these lips won't mind your kisses, no they don't care
You can lay your head on my shoulder
Maybe even get a little bolder
But when it comes to my heart, don't touch me there
These arms, you can wrap 'em 'round you gently
Your fingers, you can run 'em through my hair
But there's one place that's off balance
From the last time love came 'round
When it comes to my heart, don't touch me there
Last time I gave my heart so sweetly it broke
He broke it so completely that even now it's more than I can bear
Now someday I know I'll try again, someday but until then
When it comes to my heart, don't touch me there
(repeat verse 1)
When it comes to my heart, don't touch me there
With Just One Look In Your Eyes (with Wayne)
(Stephen Davis/Dennis Morgan)
C: I read the headlines, I see the hard times
I wonder if we'll survive
But I know there's no worries
With just one look in your eyes
W: I work 40 hours to bring home a dollar
At times it barely keeps us alive
But I know there's no worries
With just one look in your eyes
CHORUS (BOTH):
With just one look in your eyes I see
Someone who believes in me till the end
Through thick & thin
With just one look in your eyes I know
No matter how far down I go
You lift me up, up, again
With just one look in your eyes
One look in your eyes
BOTH: So I make you a promise, when it rains down on us
We'll always have blue skies
I know there's no worries
With just one look in your eyes
(instrumental)
(chorus)
With just one look in your eyes
(repeat & fade):
I know there's no worries
With just one look in your eyes
The Right Stuff (with Mickey Gilley)
(Richard Giles/Bill Haynes/Bobby Fisher)
M: Honey, you're amazing, the way you always look so good
C: Darlin', you always know what to say to put me in the right mood
M: Whenever a little touch turns into a kiss
Baby, how can it get any better than this?
CHORUS:
BOTH: When it comes to love, ooo baby we've got the right stuff
Every beat of our hearts poundin' with the rhythm of the right stuff
M: Honey your love is heaven; C: Darlin', hold me tight
(M 1st time, C other times): We're goin' out of this world tonight
BOTH: When it comes to love, ooo baby we've got the right stuff
M: Honey, I bought you some flowers for our anniversary
C: Darlin', I remember the night when you first walked up to me
& baby we knew with just one look
That the title page would write the whole book
(chorus)
C: We've got the right stuff, baby
M: I'm your man; C: & I'm your lady
(repeat chorus & fade)
Fly Into Love
(Lewis Anderson/Mark Wright)
Way down in Sad Town in the valley of broken dreams
We're both prisoners of past loves & things that'll never be
Somethin' tells me if you held me, the clouds would disappear
We could leave our troubles all behind & nothin' could keep us
here
CHORUS:
We could soar like an eagle, touch the sky like a dove
We could fly to the top of the world, fly into love
Fly into love
Sunshine all the time is just beyond the hill
True love is waiting there & we can find it still
Your blue eyes are my blue skies, forever is in sight
Let's put our dreams together now & fly away tonight
(repeat chorus & fade)
Take Me Back
(Charly McClain/Larry Rogers/Red Williams)
Lord, I'm feelin' down; I've got no one to turn to
Boy I need you 'round, these lonely nights are hard to get through
I'll get down on my knees, honey if I have to
I'll do what it takes to please, I'll do what it takes to hold you
CHORUS:
Take me, take me back
I promise I won't hurt you anymore
Take me, take me back
Baby we'll make it like it was before
Do you ever think of me when all the world is sleepin'?
& you're lyin' there alone & your body needs some lovin'
But I'm tryin' to say I'm sorry, so try to understand
I'll give my love forever, & you'll always be my man
(repeat chorus & fade)
You're A Part Of Me
(Kim Carnes)
I'd like to live out all my dreams
& if I could, yes if I could
The nicest one would be with you
& you'd be here with me
Don't you ever get lonely?
Lord, I'm no good when you're away
What do expect from a girl who loves you like I love you?
Won't you ever just get tired & come on home to me?
Don't you ever get lonely?
CHORUS:
You're a part of me that I can't do without
You're a part of me, what dreams are all about
But you can't hold onto somethin' that you never had before
Love waits for the wind to bring you back again
& take me away, take me away
Friends say it's great now, you're a star
But what did they expect from a girl who loved you just the way you
were?
& late at night, how I wish things had never changed
When you were here with me
Don't you ever get lonely?
(chorus)
(repeat & fade):
Take me away
I Hate The Way I Love It (with Johnny Rodriguez)
(Averal Aldridge)
J: You knew I'd come around again, baby
I knew you'd let me in again, baby
Neither one of us is strong enough to tell the other one goodbye
C: Help yourself to me, I help myself to you
What in the world are we gonna do?
Who gives us the right to be wrong one more night?
J: 'Cause my best friend is your husband
C: & my best friend is your wife
CHORUS:
BOTH: Don't you know, I hate the way I love it
Don't you know, we got to pull away from it
Don't you know, I hate the way I love it
J: When I'm wantin' you & needin' you the way I do
BOTH: I can't stay away from your love
C: Lyin' here with you tonight, baby
Away from all the city lights, baby
Never feelin' any shame for the game we are playin'
J: There's a vacancy across the way
Where other lovers just like us will play
For the foolproof alibi that we made up together
J: But my best friend is your husband
C: & my best friend is your wife
(chorus)
(backing vocals: I can't stay away from you
No no no I can't stay away from you)
(chorus, fading)
Let's Put Our Love In Motion
(Johnny MacRae/Bob Morrison/Larry Rogers)
Here we are alone together
I see the warning in your eyes
We've come this far, but will we ever
Know what it is until we try?
CHORUS:
So baby, let's put our love in motion
It's time to make our move
Honey, will you second the notion
To put our love in motion?
To put our love in motion
Heart to heart, feelin' to feelin'
We really know that it's all right
Let love start, ooo it's the real thing
Don't make me wait another night
(repeat chorus & fade)
Make The World Go Away
(Hank Cochran)
CHORUS:
Make the world go away
& get it off my shoulders
Say the things you used to say
& make the world go away
Do you remember when you loved me
Before the world took me astray?
If you do, then forgive me
& make the world go away
(chorus)
(instrumental)
I'm sorry if I hurt you
I'll make it up day by day
Just say you love me like you used to
& make the world go away
(chorus, then repeat its last 2 lines)
Lay Down
(Ronny Scaife/Danny Hogan)
Lord, you know you make it easy
& I see how hard you try
Pretending everything is all right
& I can see it in your eyes
Boy I never meant to go wrong
& this is hard for me to say
He wants me to go with him
But if you want me to, I'll stay
CHORUS:
Don't let me go 'cause it's breakin' my heart
See down, see down
Now once again I'll be playin' my part
Lay down, lay down
I want you forever, lay down
Well I know you saw it comin'
You could see me goin' blind
From the light that shines from your eyes
From the mirror behind mine
(chorus)
I'll love you forever, lay down
Oh I want you forever lay down
Hon, I'll love you forever, lay down
...& fade
