"I Thank You"

"I Thank You"


You didn't have to love me, like you did
But you didn't, but you did
And I thank you
You didn't have to squeeze me, like you did
But you didn't, but you did, and I thank you

If you took your love to someone else
I know what I meant to be the loving dare
You made me feel like I've never felt
Your kiss is so good, I got the holler for help

You didn't have to squeeze me, like you did
But you didn't, but you did, and I thank you
You didn't have to hold me, like you did
But you didn't, but you did, and I thank you

Now every day there's something new
You put your make-up and your mild perfume
You got me trying to do things, too
Just so that I can keep up with you

You didn't have to shake me, like you did
But you didn't, but you did, and I thank you
You didn't have to make me, like you did
But you didn't, but you did, and I thank you

All my life I've been short changed
Without your love it would be a crying shame
Now I know what love I'm looking for
When they say they're being turned on

I wanna thank you, thank you, thank you
Thank you, baby, thank you, thank you I got to say

You didn't have to love me, like you did
But you didn't, but you did, and I thank you
You didn't have to hold me, like you did
But you didn't, but you did, and I thank you
I wanna thank you, baby I wanna thank you, let me count the ways
Let me thank you, baby, baby I've got something to say

Thank you baby
Let me count the ways, for the whole wide world to hear, oh yeah
Now thank you for paying for my cold beer
I wanna thank you for being here with me baby
Thank you for understanding why I was out so late last night
Thank you for giving me your best friend's phone number
Thank you for understanding, that me and your sister are just good friends.

"I Was Made To Love Her"

"I Was Made To Love Her"


I was born in Lil' Rock,
Had a childhood sweetheart,
We were always hand in hand.

I was hightop shoes and shirt tails,
Suzy was in pig tails,
I know I loved her even then.

You know my papa disapproved it,
My mama boohooed it,
But I told them time and time again,
"Don't you know I was made to love her,
Built a world all around her"
Yah! Hey, hey, hey.

She's been my inspiration,
Showed appreciation
For the love I gave her through the years.

Like a sweet magnolia tree
My love blossmed tenderly,
My life grew sweeter through the years.

I know that my baby loves me,
My baby needs me,
That's why we made it through the years.

I was made to love her,
Worship and adore her,
Hey, hey, hey.

All through thick and thin
Our love just won't end,
'Cause I love my baby, love my baby. Ah!

My baby loves me,
My baby needs me,
And I know I ain't going nowhere.

I was knee high to a chicken
When that love bug bit me,
I had the fever with each passing year.

Oh, even if the mountain tumbles,
If this whole world crumbles,
By her side I'll still be standing there.

'Cause I was made to love her,
I was made to live for her, yeah!

Ah, I was made to love her,
Built my world all around her,
Hey, hey, hey.

Oo baby, I was made to please her,
You know Stevie ain't gonna leave her, no,
Hey, hey, hey.

Oo wee baby, my baby loves me,
My baby needs me,
Hey, hey, hey.

OO my baby loves me....

"I Wish You Would"

"I Wish You Would"


Early in the morning 'bout the break of day
That's when my baby went away
Crying and pleading won't do no good
Come back baby, I wish you would

I love you baby, I can't help myself
I wouldn't mistreat you for no one else
Tell me now baby what you trying to do
Love me and another man too
Huggi'n and kissin' late at night
Really make my baby, feel alright

Staying out drinking all night long
Cold now, baby, I wanna come home
Please pretty baby give me one more chance
You know I love you, wanna be your man

Crying and pleading won't do no good
Come back baby I wish you would
Huggin' and kissin' late at night
Really make my baby, feel alright

Early in the morning before the break of day
That's when my baby went away
Crying and pleading won't do no good
Come back baby, I wish you would

I love you baby, I can't help myself
I wouldn't mistreat you for no one else
Tell me now baby what you trying to do
Loving me and another man too
Huggin' and kissin' late at night
Really make my baby, feel alright

"I Won't Be Sorry To See Suzanne Again"

"I Won't Be Sorry To See Suzanne Again"


The place, Appomattox, Virginia
the year 1865
Unable to maintain supplies of food and ammunition
The Southern rebels finally raise the White flag of surrender
General Robert E. Lee steps forward with General Grant of the Northern Yankees
To sign a truce that ends the American Civil War.

The clouds of battle slowly drift away
I must get down on my knees and pray
I thank the Lord it’s over, I live to see once more
The roses climbing ‘round the old back door

And I won’t be sorry to see Suzanne again
In heaven, since Lord I can’t remember when
Can’t remember when
I only hope the she still wants me
And I won’t be sorry to see the lights of our home
I’m dying to see the sweetest girl I know
Man I’ve been so low
Lord I won’t be sorry to see you Suzanne

For Five long years this old sad heart of mine
Has yearned to cross that Mason Dixie Line
But there’ll be no returnin’ for my brothers Who have died
And I feel the burning emptiness inside
But I won’t be sorry to see Suzanne again
In heaven, since Lord I can’t remember when
Can’t remember when

I only hope that she still wants me
No I won’t be sorry to see the lights of home
I’m dying to see the sweetest girl I know
Man I’ve been so low
Lord I won’t be sorry to see you Suzanne....

"I'll Never Let You Go"

"I'll Never Let You Go"


I'll buy you diamond rings
I'll give you pretty things
To prove that I love you so
But all I ever want to do
When I'm close to you
Is something you've got to know
Oh baby baby
One things certain
I'll never let you go

I'll buy you diamond rings
I'll give you pretty things
To prove that my love is real
But all I ever want to do
When I'm close to you
Is show you the way I feel
Oh baby baby
One things certain
I'll never let you go

Understand me now
When I tell you that a gift cannot compare
With the love of a man
Or the touch of his hand
As he runs it through your hair

I'll buy you diamond rings
I'll buy you pretty thing
To prove that my love is real
But all I ever want to do
When I'm close to you
Is show you the way I fell
Oh baby baby
One things certain
I'll never let you go.

"I'm A Fool To Want You"

"I'm A Fool To Want You"


I'm a fool to want you
I'm a fool to want you
To want a love that can't be true
A love that's there for others too
I'm a fool to hold you
Such a fool to hold you
To seek a kiss not mine alone
To share a kiss the Devil has known

Time and time again I said I'd leave you
Time and time again I went away
But then would come the time when I would need you
And once again these words I'd have to say
I'm a fool to want you
Pity me, I need you
I know it's wrong, it must be wrong
But right or wrong I can't get along
Without you

Time and time again I said I'd leave you
Time and time again I went away
But then would come the time when I would need you
And once again these words I'd have to say
Take me back, I love you
Pity me, I need you
I know it's wrong, it must be wrong
But right or wrong I can't get along
Without you

"I'm Alive"

"I'm Alive"


I'm alive! And I see things mighty clear today, I'm alive!
I'm alive! And I'm sitting here and doing my thing, I'm alive!
And I'm real! I can breath and touch and see and feel, I'm alive
I'm a man! I don't care if I'm right or wrong, I'm a man
Na na, na na, na na, na na.

I'm a man! And I'm red and yellow and black and tan, I'm a man!
I'm alive! And I'm doin' my thing and singin' my song, I'm alive!
And I'm real! I can breath and touch and see and feel and I'm alive!
I'm a man! Who don't cares if the hair's too long, I'm a man!
Na na, na na, na na, na na.
Baby, baby, baby, baby yeah yeah

"I'm Counting On You"

"I'm Counting On You"


The night is so wild
And downstairs the child is sleeping, her spirit is free
For more than an hour I have walked in the rain
I've been wondering what she will be

But where are the heroes, where are the dreams that I had
When I was young?
Am I hoping in vain, just to think she could change anything?
Well, I'm counting on you

I'm counting on you
To bring that sweet gentleness to your world and all that you do
My generation is losing its way, we don't know what we're leaving for you
So may there be millions who feel like you do, oh my love

There is so much to know, there is so far to go
But you are not alone
When this is your world and I'm counting on you
I'm counting on you

Come to me, turn to me, give me your eyes
When you see the mysteries of time
Here there are those who just live in the past
They will never let history lie

And this sad little island is breaking my heart with its dark
Shades of green
And as hard as I try I just cannot see why this should be

There is so much to know, there is so far to go
But you are not alone
When this is your world and I'm counting on you

So may there be millions who feel like you do, oh my love

There is so much to know, there is so far to go
But you are not alone
When this is your world

There is so much to know, there is so far to go
But you are not alone
When this is your world and I'm counting on you
Yes, I'm counting on you
And I'm counting on you

I'm counting on you
Yes, I'm counting on you

"I'm Not Feeling It Anymore"

"I'm Not Feeling It Anymore"


Have to get back, have to get back the base
I need to talk to somebody, I can trust
Too many cooks, are tryin' to spoil the broth
I can't feel it in my throat, that's all she wrote
I'm not feeling it no more, I'm not feeling it anymore
Not feelin' it no more, not feelin' it anymore
When I was high at the party, everything looked good
I was seein' through rose coloured glasses
Not seein' the wood for the trees
I started out in normal operation
But I just ended up in doubt
All my drinking buddies, they locked me out
I'm not feelin' it no more, I'm not feelin' it anymore
No feelin' it no more, I'm tryin' to give you the score
You see me up there baby, I'm on the screen
But I know better now, it's so unreal
If this is success, then something's awful wrong
'Cause I bought the dream and I had to play along
I'm not feelin' it no more, I'm not feelin' it anymore
I'm tryin' to give you the score, I'm not feelin' it no more
We all know that money, don't buy you love
You just get a job and somewhere to live
You have to look for happiness, within yourself
And don't go chasin' thinkin' that it is somewhere else
I'm not feelin' it no more, I'm not feelin' it anymore
Baby I'm tryin' to give you the score,
I'm not feelin' it no more
I was pretending all the time
I was givin' everybody what they wanted
And I lost my peace of mind
And all I ever wanted was simply just to be me
All you ever need is the truth
And the truth will set you free
I'm not feelin' it no more, I'm not feelin' it anymore
I'm tryin' to give
