"I'm Gonna Teach My Heart To Bend"

"I'm Gonna Teach My Heart To Bend"


You conjure up your courage and you finally make the telephone call
You get a busy signal else it rings and no-one answers at all
And then your mind begins imagining things that could or couldn't be so
I know the feelin' that you're feelin' it's a feelin' that I'm feelin'
And I want you to know

I'm gonna teach my heart to bend instead of breakin'
Teach myself to lean and not to fall
Teach my heart to bend instead of breakin'
I've taken all I can take and that's all

I'm gonna teach my heart to bend instead of breakin'
Teach myself to lean and not to fall
Teach my heart to bend instead of breakin'
I've taken all I can take and that's all

"I've Been A Long Time Leavin'"

"I've Been A Long Time Leavin'"


I've been a fool, I've been a foo-ooo-ooool
Forgivin' you each time you done me wrong
I've been a long time leavin' ya, but I'll be a long time gone

Loved you so much, loved you so mu-u-huuuch
I stayed around when I should've moved along
I've been a long time leavin' ya, but I'll be a long time gone

I say hi there high line, hello highway
Here come a big old semi my way
I stick up my thumb, hear the truck come
But the truck goes by and he looks like he's flyin'
And he whoops the big legs on my Levi's
They go woop woop woop woop woop

I've been a fool, I've been a foo-oo-ooool
Forgivin' you each time that you've done me wrong
I've been a long time leavin' ya, but I'll be a long time gone

I say hi there high line, hello highway
Here come a big old semi my way
I stick up my thumb, hear the truck come
But the truck goes by and he looks like he's flyin'
And he's whoopin' the big legs on my Levi's
Woop woop woop woop woop woop woop woop

I've been a fool, I've been a foo-oo-ooool
Forgivin' you each time that you've done me wrong
I've been a long time leavin' ya, but I'll be a long time gone

gone gone gone
gone gone gone

"I've Gotten Used To The Crying"

"I've Gotten Used To The Crying"


I've gotten used to the cryin'
And at least we're alone when I have to crawl
But darling when you say I'll find love again
I think I hate that most of all
I've gotten used to the teardrops
And at least we're alone when they start to fall
But darling when you say I'll find love again
I think l hate that most of all
I've gotten used to the cryin'
And at least we're alone when I have to crawl
But darling when you say I'll find love again
I think I hate that most of all

"If I Ever Fall In Love"

"If I Ever Fall In Love"


You do little things to me
That nobody else can do
If I ever fall in love
I'm gonna fall in love with you

You take and turn my head around
You take my don'ts and make them do
If I ever fall in love
I'm gonna fall in love with you

Woman woman woman woman
Man oh man oh man oh man
Swore I'd never fall in love again
And I'm doing the best I can
You do little things to me
My ups and downs are up to you
If I ever fall in love
I'm gonna fall in love with you

Woman woman woman woman
Man oh man oh man oh man
Swore I'd never fall in love again
And I'm doing the best I can
You do little things to me
My ups and downs are up to you
If I ever fall in love
I'm gonna fall in love with you
If I ever fall in love
I'm gonna fall in love with you

"If You Want Me To"

"If You Want Me To"


Thunder roll and lighting flashing right through the middle of it I'll go dashing
Goes to show how far I'll go for you if you want me to

Well hurricane winds blow grief and sorrow but I'd run through one tomorrow
Goes to show how far I'll go for you if you want me to
Well there's no limit to would I go through for you
Anything you ask of me I'm a makin' my destiny
Well thunder roll and lighting flashing...

Thunder roll and lighting flashing right through the middle of it I'll go dashing
Goes to show how far I'll go for you if you want me to

Well hurricane winds blow grief and sorrow but I'd run through one tomorrow
Goes to show how far I'll go for you if you want me to
Well there's no limit to would I go through for you
Anything you ask of me I'm a makin' my destiny
Well thunder roll and lighting flashing...

Well thunder roll and lighting flashing right through the middle of it I'll go dashing
Goes to show how far I'll go for you if you want me to

Goes to show how far I'll go for you if you want me to

"In The Summertime"

"In The Summertime"


In the summertime
When all the trees and leaves are green
And the redbird sings, I'll be blue
'Cause you don't want my love

Some other time
That's what you say when I want you
Then you laugh at me and make me cry
'Cause you don't want my love.

You don't seem to care a thing about me
You'd rather live without me
Than to have my arms around you
When the nights are cold and you're so all alone

In the summertime
When all the trees and leaves are green
And the redbird sings, I'll be blue
'Cause you don't want my love.

Once upon a time
You used to smile and wave to me
And walk with me but now you don't
'Cause you don't want my love

Some other guy
Is takin' up all your time
Now you don't have time for me
'Cause you don't want my love.

You don't seem to care a thing about me
You'd rather live without me
Than to have my arms around you
When the nights are cold and you're so all alone

In the summertime
When all the trees and leaves are green
And the redbird sings, I'll be danged
'Cause you don't want my love.

"Indian Giver"

"Indian Giver"


I'm giving up on you and I've been feelin' that way for a day or two
And somehow I think you know good well why I sit here so all alone crying
Indian giver you give your heart to me but then
You wanna take it back again Indian giver I give in

I'll go away somewhere and whether or not you miss me I won't care
Somehow I think you know good well why I won't be crying when I say goodbye
Indian giver you give...

I'll be satisfied when I know you know all the tears I've cried
Somehow I think you know good well we could have been together for eternity
Indian giver you give...

"Invitation To The Blues"

"Invitation To The Blues"


I couldn't sleep last night I just walked the floor
Don't know how I stand this anymore
Lonely are the times since I lost you received your invitation to the blues
I don't know why you caused me such pain
I just hope I'll never go through this much again
Lonely me I don't know what to do received your invitation to the blues

You took the laughter from this world of mine thanks to you the sun will never shine
Walk the floor so much wore out my shoes received your invitation to the blues
I don't know why you caused me such pain...
