"I'm Not Playing Games"

"I'm Not Playing Games"



Please don't whisper love words tenderly
Not if you’re just playing games with me
If you only plan to leave some day
Then don't make me learn to care this way

Cause I'm not playing games with you
This time my love is really true
To spend my whole life loving you is all I want to do
This time it's not a game I play
I need you more than words can say
For you I'd give my soul away no I'm not playing games

Please don't let me give my love to you
Not if you don't feel the way I do
Tell me now if it can never be
Don't make me learn to love you hopelessly

Cause I'm not playing games with you...
No I'm not playing games with you...

"If I Ever (Love Again)"

"If I Ever (Love Again)"



If I ever dream again
Well it's because I’ll be dreamin' of you
If I ever smile again
Well it's because I’ll be thinkin' of you
If I ever touch the hand of another woman
It’s because I just need a hand to hold

Some people are made to love again and they do
Oh they're not half as lucky as me
Guess I'll spend my whole life goin' round lovin' you
If I ever reach again
It's because I'm still achin' with want for you
And if I ever try again
It's because I'm pretending that she's you
If I'm sad I don't mind cause I had it all one time
We'll be together if I ever ever love again

"If I Promise"

"If I Promise"



If I got on my knees and come crawlin' to you little girl
Would you love me once again
Cause I'll do anything to prove that I love you still
And that I'm sorry for the fool I've been

Haven't slept in a month of Sundays
And I know one day I'm a gonna lose my sanity
Can't stop dreamin' about you
And life without you just don't mean a thing to me

So if I promise to be a good boy and never hurt you anymore
Could things be like they were before
If I promise to be a good boy and be the way you want me to
Could I still have a chance with you

Cause I don't know what made me fool enough to think
That I could live without your love
I must have cried a million tears since our goodbye
Yes and misery fits me like a glove

So if I promise to be a good boy and never hurt you anymore...

"If It Comes To That"

"If It Comes To That"



Everybody tells me you're a woman with a past
Quick to make a promise but your love will never last
They tell me that I'm foolish to think that your love could be fair
But they don't know that I'm too much in love to even care
I'll be satisfied lovin' and losin' you honey if it comes to that

If it comes right down to hurtin' and you break this heart of mine
At least I've known the happiness of havin' your love for a time
If it happens that I lose you then I'll have the memory of how you loved me
So I'll be yours until it happens and I'm gonna love you all the way
I don't care what comes tomorrow as long as you're all mine today
I'll be satisfied lovin' and losin' you honey if it comes to that

If it comes right down to hurtin' and you break this heart of mine...

"In The Pines"

"In The Pines"



Now the longest train I ever done seen
Was in those Georgia pines
Now the train came by at five o'clock
And the cab came by at nine

In the pines in the pines where the sun never shines
And I shiver when the cold wind blows
In the pines in the pines where the sun never shines
And I shiver when the cold wind blows

Look down look down that lonesome road
Hang down your little head and cry
Little girl little girl what have I done
That you should have passed me by

In the pines in the pines where the sun never shines
And I shiver when the cold wind blows
Now the longest train I ever saw
Was in those Georgia pines

"In The Sack"

"In The Sack"



Historically speaking people are a sucker for sad songs and sad movies
And uh well I would say that this song is probably one of the sadder of your songs
It's merely a song about a man who has a bad back

Laid back in the sack Jack
On my back in the sack Jack
Cause I cracked my sacroiliac Jack

Bad news I really blew a fuse Jack
Got the blues can't even tie my shoes Jack
Cause when you're holding up the traction
Cause your action's just a fraction Jack

Laid back in the sack Jack...

Can't move I guess I lost my groove Jack
Outta luck I really shoulda ducked back Jack
Cause when you're holding up the traction
Cause your action's just a fraction Jack

"It Ain't Home, But It Ain't Bad"

"It Ain't Home, But It Ain't Bad"



Well fast talk and sidewalks
They bring me down and they leave me sad
They leave me sad
Down home's a callin'
New York City don’t be mad
Don't be mad

You know your country cookin' and Saturday night jukin'
Ain't the worst I ever had
Sand is in my shoes I love to sing the blues
It ain't home but it ain't bad
No it ain't bad it ain't bad

(It ain't home) It ain't home...

Well I know for certain that down home lovin' sure is fine
Sure is fine
Well if you’ve got the notion the down home women they got the time
They got time

You know your country cookin' and Saturday night jukin'...

(It ain't home) No it ain't home...

Sing it children

(It ain't home) It ain't home...
(It ain't home) It ain't home...
Do it children do it children

"It Don't Work That Way"

"It Don't Work That Way"



She's nothin' but a woman just another pretty face
You can find another girl to take her place
No use a makin' a fool of yourself you can find somebody else

But honey it don't work that way
I'm just kiddin' myself when I say
I'll forget someday
Cause honey real love it don't work that way

It looks mighty good this smile I wear actin' like I just don't care
If anybody mentions yesterday I just try to laugh it away

But honey it don't work that way...

I can walk around puttin' on airs tellin' everybody that I don't care
But it's hard to hide the pain inside when a lonely heart is missin' you
And the love that we once knew

Cause I've tried to take the memory of all the love you gave to me
And put it all out of my heart so I can make a brand new start

But honey it don't work...

"It's My Time"

"It's My Time"



Gather round men the ones I grew up with
My old friends that I used to raise hell with
I've got a woman on my mind
You all had your turn to cry
And I was always standin' by
Friends friends of mine
Stand by me cause it's my time

It's my time it's my time it's my time
It's my time to cry oh oh oh
It's my time to cry ah ah ah
It's my time to cry oh yeah
It's my time

Gather round girls the ones I played house with
Come close girls I first kissed on the mouth with
I need your tender words so kind
You all had your misty eyes
And I helped you wiped them dry
Friends friends of mine
Stand by me cause it's my time

It's my time it's my time it's my time...
It's my time it's my time it's my time...

"It's Tough All Over"

"It's Tough All Over"



Well mister let me hear your sad and pitiful song
About how this whole world picks on you
How nothin' ever goes right everything goes all wrong
And when you're finished cryin' then I'll tell you some news

It's tough all over (tough all over)
It's tough all over (tough all over)
You ain't the only one that's short on luck
(It's tough all over)
So when you feel like there ain't no one else as low as you can go
Just look down and you'll see somebody lookin' back up

It's tough all over (tough all over)
Oh it's tough all over (tough all over)
But there ain't nobody's life a little bed of clover
So the next time you feel down then take a little look around
And friend you'll see that things are tough all over

Well to hear you talk you'd think that there ain't nobody else
Who's had your kinda bruises and bumps
Well next time instead of whinin' take a look around yourself
And you'll see lots of folks with your kinda scratches and lumps

Cause it's tough all over (tough all over)...
It's tough all over (tough all over)...
It's tough all over (tough all over)...
