If you got a Cadillac boy
And a 40 room shack boy
A bucket full of money
And a tree full of honey
But if your gettin' no huggin'
No smoochin' or a muggin'
If you ain't lovin'
Than you ain't livin'
If you're ridin' on a gravy train
Instead of walkin' down lover's lane
You can't make hay boy
Cause your goin' the wrong way boy
You gotta get a little honey
It's better than money
If you ain't lovin'
Than you ain't livin'
If they call you a big man
Cause you got a lot of bottom land
If you're kin to the President
And ya get help from the Government
But if your gettin' no attention
You're better off on a pension
If you ain't lovin'
Then you ain't livin'
If you got a string of long cards
And your smokin' them four-bit cigars
You ain't so well to do
Unless you get a little coochy-coo
It takes a little bit of smackin'
Or your lifes lackin'
If you ain't lovin'

. . .



Oh how I wish
You could read my mind
Cause words can't always tell it
Like it is some times
When we're this close
The lights and music glow
Why don't we let our feelings
Take us where we want to go

Under these conditions
There ain't no wrong or right
We're dealing with emotions
That's running wild to night
A man needs a women
A women needs a man
And under these conditions
Hearts get out of hand

You've got those eyes
That won't let go of me
They pull me in and out of touch
With reality
And you got those lips,
That I just got to taste
I'd love to hear them whisper
Darlin take me from this place

Under these conditions
There ain't no wrong or right
We're dealing with emotions
That's running wild to night
A man needs a women
A women needs a man
And under these conditions

She looked so much like a lady
But she was so much like a child
A devil when she held me close
An angel when she smiled
She always held it deep inside
But somehow I always knew
She'd go away when the grass turned green
And the sky turned baby blue

Chorus:
Baby blue
Was the color of her eyes
Baby blue
Like the Colorado skies
Like a breath of spring she came and left
And I still don't know why
So, here's to you and whoever
Holds my baby blue tonight

She brought color to my life
That my eyes have never touched
When she taught me how to care
I've never cared so much
I try not to think of her
But I fall asleep and do
And go away where the grass turns green
And the sky is baby blue

Chorus


. . .



Weather man says it's rainin' again
Perfect night for stayin' in
Lookin' at you I don't doubt that it's true
And did I hear you say
Baby put on a smile
Kick your shoes off
And stay a while
Well since you asked me to
I don't mind if I do

That ol' clock can just tick off the wall
I ain't worried 'bout the time at all
Long as I'm makin' time with you
And holdin' you tight
Dim light
Opry radio
I'll whisper baby I love you so
And since you want me to
I don't mind if I do

That ol' clock can just tick off the wall
I ain't worried 'bout the time at all
Long as I'm makin' time with you
And holdin' you tight
Dim light
Opry radio
I'll whisper baby I love you so
And since you want me to
I don't mind if I do

Just as long as it's you baby

. . .



I never thought too much about her leavin'
I'd find someone there was no doubt
But this time the feelin' is strange and different
Since she's been gone there's one thing I found out

Chorus:
It takes a mighty man to live with lonesome
Some big men might live with misery
But there's one thing I know, for sure it's certain
It's for sure it's gonna take a lot bigger man than me

I've never suffered much in the hurtin' line
I've always been as good as any man
But show me who can lose in love and like it
And I'll be the first to proudly shake his hand

Chorus


. . .



I told her I wouldn't miss her at all
as she walked to the door
I couldn't care less
if she didn't care anymore
and with tears in my eyes, I lied
I was glad we were through
as she drove away cryin' at the famous last words of a fool

famous last words of a fool
famous last words of a fool
"you won't break my heart" and "I don't love you"
the famous last words of a fool.

The first night without her would be easy
I kept telling myself
all the while dying
at the thought of her lying somewhere else
there'll be nothing to it
I'll easily find someone new
as my breaking heart echoed the famous last words of a fool

Repeat Chorus

"You won't break my heart" and "I don't love you"

. . .



Remember how lonely I told you it would be
Without you here with me
But you just turned and walked away
And now that I've found somebody new
You've changed your tune
You want me back but all I can say

Chorus:
It's too late now
Just tell me how long did you think
I'd be your fool
And I would sit right here an' wait
For you to make up
Your mind to show up
Well, just turn around
I'm sorry it's too late now

Well didn't I tell you that one of these days
It would be too late
To say you'd made a big mistake
And now you've come back like you've never been gone
Well baby you're wrong
Somebody else has taken your place


. . .



Is it that time again
closing time closing in
are they turning out the lights
must I go home?
cause her memory is haunting me
waiting there to see I'm not alone

I know I just can't stand
another lonely night
this man is going out of his mind
since you left me behind
since you left me behind

Am I the last one here?
Please just one more beer
and I'll be on my way
back to the blues. Back down lonely street
to a house that's steep
with nothing but a line of bad news

I know I just can't stand
another lonely night
this man is going out of his mind
since you left me behind

. . .



Don't need your love
On a silver platter
Let's get down to the nitty grit
Let's cut out all the chatter
Get to the heart of the matter
Honey let's get down to it

Let's get down to some huggin' and some squeezin'
Arm and arm
We'd be a perfect fit
So put a freeze on the teasin'
Let's get on with the pleasin'
Honey let's get down to it

I know that you want to
I can see it when I look into those big green eye's
Baby let's come to grits
Don't play so hard to get
Honey let's get down to it

I get a chill every time your near me
You've got my heart doin' flips
I only aim to please
If you'd let go you'd see
Honey let's get down to it

I know that you want to
I can see it when I look into those big green eye's
Baby let's come to grits
Don't play so hard to get
Honey let's get down to it


. . .



I'm back to bein' me
I'm back to bein' nobody
The who I was before I was your used to be
I'm back to bein' me
I'm back to who I was
Before I was the one who fell in love
With the one who never, ever was in love
I'm back to bein' me

These eyes that used to cry myself to sleep
Now they're dry they don't lay me down to weep
For the first time in a long time I like seeing what I see
No thanks to you
I'm back to bein' me

These eyes that used to cry myself to sleep
Now they're dry they don't lay me down to weep
For the first time in a long time I like seeing what I see
No thanks to you
I'm back to bein' me

I'm back to bein' me
I'm back to bein' nobody
The who I was before I was your used to be
I'm back to bein' me
I'm back to who I was
Before I was the one who fell in love
With the one who never, ever was in love
I'm back to bein' me

I'm back to bein' me
