Kenny Rogers Album

You want things your way
And I want them mine
And now we don't know
Just where to draw the line
How can love survive
If we keep changing sides
And who picks up the pieces
Every time two fools collide

You lay the blame on me
And I the blame on you
But why do we keep finding faults
In everything you do
And how long can we keep right in wrong
So cut and dry
And who picks up the pieces
Every time two fools collide

We can save our love
We still have the time
Oh, I know there must be a way
That we still haven't tried
To keep our hearts from breaking
Every time two fools collide

I cried a tear, you wiped it dry
I was confused, you cleared my mind
I sold my soul, you bought it back for me
And held me up, and gave me dignity
Somehow you needed me.

You gave me strength to stand alone again
To face the world out of my own again
You put me high upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost see eternity
You needed me, you needed me.

And I can't believe it's you
I can't believe it's true
I needed you, you were there
I'll never leave, why should I leave?
I'd be a fool, 'cause I've finally found someone
Who really cares.

You held my hand when it was cold
When I was lost you took me home
You gave me hope when I was at the end
And turned my lies back into truth again
You even called me friend.

You gave me strength to stand alone again
To face the world out of my own again
You put me high upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost see eternity
You needed me, you needed me...

(Betty Jean Robinson)

Sometimes when I'm down and alone
I feel just like a child with out a home
The love you give me keeps me hangin' on, honey
All I ever need is you

Your my first love, your my last
Your my future, your my past
Ohhh 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 summer follows spring, all the things you do
Give me a reason to build my world around you

( World around you )

Some men follow rainbows I am told
Some men search for silver, some for gold
But I found my treasures in my soul
And all I ever need is you

Without love I'd never find the 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
The love you give me keeps me hangin' on
Honey, all I'll ever need is you

La, La, La, La, La, La
But I found my treasures in my soul
Honey, and all I ever need is you

w/ Dottie West

(Dottie)
We're like summer and winter
We're not one bit alike
We're like satin and cinders
I'm definitely not your type

(Together)
Well, then what are we doin' in love
What are we doin' in a mess like this
What are we doin' love

(Dottie)
Why were you someone I couldn't resist

(Together)
What are we doin' in love

(Kenny)
Were like paper and matches

(Dottie)
We'll probly have our share of fights

(Kenny)
We're like roses and switches

(Dottie)
It's gonna be hard bit we've got to try

(Toghether)
So what are we doin' love
What are we doin' in a mess like this
What are we doin' love

(Kenny)
And what are we gonna tell all our friends

(Dottie)
You don't have to like someone
To love someone
That rule was made to be broken

(Together)
But if we have to say goodbye
To a life we've gotten used to
What are we doin' love then

(Dottie)
We're like sunup and sundown

(Kenny)
People say we're never going to last

(Dottie)
Like Uptown and downtown

(Kenny)
You like it slow but I like it fast

(Together)
What are we doin' love
What are we doin' in a mess like this
What are we doin' love

(Kenny)
What are we gonna tell all our friends

(Together)
What are we doin' love
What are we doin' in a mess like this
What are we doin' love

(Dottie)
You were just someone I couldn't resist

(Together)

[No lyrics]

I bless the day I found you
I want to stay around you
And so I beg you
Let it be me.

Don't take this heaven from one
If you must cling to someone
Now and forever
Let it be me.

Each time we meet love
I find complete love
Without your sweet love
What would life be?

So never leave me lonely
Tell me you'll love me only
And that you'll always
Let it be me...

When you made love to me tonight
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

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 that isn't me tonight

You got the kind of body
That was made to give a man a lot of pleasure
But what you're giving 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

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

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

Kenny Rogers & Dottie West

I'll need time to get you off my mind
I may sometimes bother you, try to be in touch with you
Even ask too much of you, from time to time
Now and then, Lord, you know I'll need a friend
And 'till I get used to losing you, let me keep on using you,
'Til I can make it on my own.

I'll get by, but no matter how I try
There'll be times that you'll know I'll call
Chances are my tears will fall
And I'll have no pride at all, from time to time
But they say, oh, there'll be a brighter day
But 'til then I lean on you, that's all I mean to do,
'Til I can make it on my own.

Surely someday I'll look up and see the morning sun
Without another lonely night behind me
Then I'll know I'm over you and all my cryin's done
No more hurtin' memories can find me.

But 'til then, Lord, you know I'm gonna need a friend
'Til I get used to losing you, let me keep on using you
'Til I can make it on my own...

[No lyrics]

You never close your eyes anymore
When I kiss your lips
And there's no tenderness like before
In your finger tips
You're tryin' hard not to show it, baby
But baby, baby I know it.

You've lost that lovin' feeling
Oh, oh that lovin' feeling
You've lost that lovin' feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone, oh, oh, oh.

Now there's no welcome look
In your eyes when I reach for you
And now you're startin' to criticize
Little things I do
It makes me just feel like cryin', baby
'Cause baby, something beautiful's dyin'.

You've lost that lovin' feeling
Oh, oh that lovin' feeling
You've lost that lovin' feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone, oh, oh, oh.
And I can't go on, oh, oh, oh.

Baby, baby I'd get down on my knees for you
If you would only love me like you used to do
We had a love, a love
A love you don't find everyday
So don't, don't, don't let it slip away.

Bring back that lovin' feeling
Oh, that lovin' feeling
Bring back that lovin' feeling
'Cause it's gone and I can't go on...
