"Part-Time Love"

"Part-Time Love"


Try it one more, please.

You know I got to find me
People, I got to find me
A part time love
Oh I need
I need me a part time love
Every time
Every time my baby leaves me
You know I need a part time love

The people in the cemetery
They're not all alone
Some turn to dust
And some have bone
You know I'd rather be dead
Six feet in my grave
Than to live lonely
Each and everyday

I need me
I need me a part time love
Every time my woman leaves me
You know I need a part time love

She came home this morning
I asked her where she'd been
She said, "Don't ask me
No questions, baby
'Cause I'll be leaving again"

I've got to find me
Don't you see, I've got to find me
A part time love
My baby leaves me
I need a part time love
Yes, I do

Oh every time my woman leaves me
Have to suffer
The whole time she's gone
I got to say it again
When she leaves me
I suffer every time she's gone
When she leaves me
I just got to have me a part time love
Is there somebody out there

Oh I need
Mm, I need me a part time love
Can't say it too much
I need, oh, I need...

"Partin' Time"

"Partin' Time"


Baby, if you can't do no better
I think I'd better get me a woman that can
Well, if you can't do no better, woman
I think I'd better get me a babe that can
Yes, you're goin' around cheatin' and lyin'
You ain't doin' nothin' but losin' a good man

Well, life is too short to be worryin', woman
Babe and you're old enough to understand
Yes, life is too short to be worryin', woman
And you're old enough to understand
Baby, if you can't do no better, baby
I think I'd better get me a woman that can

Oh, if I never said hello to you, woman
Than I wouldn't be sayin' goodbye
Oh, I've got my bags already packed, woman
I'm so hurt I wanna cry
Yes, what makes, what makes you treat me like you do, baby?
Yes I wanna know, tell me why.

Well, this past day, darlin'

Well, I look around me

Don't have to go down to the bowlin' ground
Oh, I'm sayin' goodbye

"Paying The Cost To Be The Boss"

"Paying The Cost To Be The Boss"


You act like you don't want to listen
When I'm talking to you
You think you outta do baby
Anything you wanna do
You must be crazy baby
You just gotta be outta your mind
As long as I'm payin' the bills woman
I'm payin' the cost to be the boss

I'll drink if I want to
And play a little poker too
Don't you say nothing to me
As long as I'm taking care of you
As long as I'm workin baby
And payin' all the bills
I don't want no mouth from you
About the way I'm supposed to live
You must be crazy woman
Just gotta be outta your mind
As long as I foot the bills
I'm payin' the cost to be the boss

Now that you got me
You act like you ashamed
You don't act like my woman
You just usin' my name
I tell you I'm gonna have all the money
And I don't want no back-talk
Cause if you don't like the way I'm doin'
Just pick up your things and walk
You gotta be crazy baby
You must be outta your mind
As long as I'm payin' the bills woman
I'm payin' the cost to be the boss

"Peace Of Mind"

"Peace Of Mind"


I've had everything that money can buy,
Oh, but still I'm so unhappy darling, that I could cry
Because I've never had peace of mind, darling, in my life time

When you're in trouble and all down and out,
Then you'll find out, darling, what it's all about
Then you'll realize that peace of mind, darling, is hard to find

I've been everywhere, seen everything but I only have myself to blame,
For not realizing while I was riding high that happiness is something money can't buy
Oh, the things I haven't done, darling, are very few
Yes, I've had trouble baby, and good luck too
Oh, but I've never had peace of mind, darling, in my life time

"Playin' With My Friends"

"Playin' With My Friends"


I'm gonna call up some of my buddies,
And a few of the ladies I know
I'm gonna rent a hall and get them all and,
Put on a heck of a show

Make sure we got a kitchen,
With a oven and a stove
We'll all get in there cookin',
Then we'll throw open all the doors

Playin' with my friends,
Playin' with my friends,
Playin' with my friends
We'll have a good time,
Playin' with my friends

I'm gonna buy a 100 pounds of catfish,
Cook it all up on the grill
Fix some beans and corn bread,
Everybody's gonna get their fill

Then we'll grab all the guitars,
Greasy hands and all
Someone'll count off a shuffle,
And man we'll have a ball

Playin' with my friends,
Playin' with my friends,
Playin' with my friends
We'll have a good time,
Playin' with my friends

Yes, we gonna buy some of that red, red wine,
The best that money can buy
You gotta drink it all from a paper cup,
That this here Saturday life is right

Everybody's gonna stand up,
Play their favorite tune
You can pick any tune you want to,
As long as it's the blues

Playin' with my friends,
Playin' with my friends,
Playin' with my friends
We'll have a good time,
Playin' with my friends

"Please Accept My Love"

"Please Accept My Love"


I don't even know your name
But I love you just the same
If you let me hold your hand
Then I think maybe I can make you understand
If you only, only knew
Just how much I love you
Loving you the way I do
Then you'd take the night to love me too
I'd like the picture on the wall
So please don't let me fall
It's my heart I'm thinkin of
So please, please accept my love
If you let me be your slave
Your love I'll cherish to my grave
And if you should die before I do
I'll, I said I'll, I'll end my life to be with you
Yes I will!

"Please Come Home For Christmas"

"Please Come Home For Christmas"


Bells will be ringing the glad, glad news
Oh, what a Christmas to have the blues
My baby's gone, I have no friends
To wish me greetings, once again

Choirs will be singing 'Silent night'
Christmas carols by candlelight
Please come home for Christmas
If not for Christmas, by New Year's night

Friends and relations send salutations
Oh, sure, sure as the stars shine above
This is Christmas, Christmas my dear
The time of year to be with the one you love

Then won't you tell me you'll never more roam?
Christmas and New Year will find you home
There'll be no more sorrow, no grief and pain
'Cause I'll be happy, happy once again

Friends and relations send salutations
Sure as the stars shine above
This is Christmas, yes Christmas my dear
The time of year to be with the one you love

Then won't you tell me you'll never more roam?
Christmas and New Year will find you home
There'll be no more sorrow, no grief and pain
'Cause I'll be happy, happy once again
