"I Let You Go"

"I Let You Go"


I let you go when I needed you so
Not knowing then I want you back again
Now that you're gone there's one thing I know
I'll always regret I let you go
Such a fool was I to be so blind
That you was within these arms of mine
It's too late now another's love you hold
I'll always regret I let you go
It hurts to know it was you I love so
Old mem'ry of you comes back to make me blue
One thought of you and tears begin to flow
I'll always regret I let you go
Such a fool was I to be so blind...

"I Love You Because"

"I Love You Because"


I love you because you understand, dear
Every single thing I tried to do
You're always there to lend a helping hand, dear
I love you most of all because you're you.

No matter what the world may say, about you
I know your love will always be true
I love you for the way you never doubt me
But most of all I love you 'cause you're you.

I love you because my heart is lighter
Every time I'm walking by your side
I love you because the future's brighter
The door to happiness you've opened wide.

No matter what
I know your heart will always be true
I love you for a hundred thousand reasons
But most of all I love you 'cause you're you.

"I Love You So Much It Hurts"

"I Love You So Much It Hurts"


I love you so much it hurts me
Darlin' that's why I'm so blue
I'm so afraid to go to bed at night
I'm afraid of losing you
I love you so much it hurts me
And there's nothing I can do
I want to hold you my dear, forever and ever
I love you so much it hurts me so

I want to hold you my dear, forever and ever
I love you so much it hurts me so
I love you so much it hurts me so...

"I Made Her That Way'"

"I Made Her That Way'"


See that girl over there by the jukebox
Here the lonely songs that she plays
Well, you ask me if I know that's she's lonesome
I know a little, I made her that way
But I knew her when she was happy
And I love you, was all she could say
But a lot of times I let her get lonely
I know a little, I made her that way
Well, you ask me if I know how she's living
And did I know her head was dizzy from wine
Yes, I know that she's everybody's baby
I know a little, for once she was mine
Yes, I knew her when she was happy
And I love you, was all she could say
So ask me if I know why she's crying
I know a little, I made her that way
I know a little, I made her that way...

"I Must Have Done Something Bad"

"I Must Have Done Something Bad"


I must have done something bad sometime in my life
And I paid for it time and again
But this time you've hurt me so bad I could lay down and die
And the pain grows each day, ten times ten times ten.

If I thought my hand was against you, why I'd cut off my arm
And I'd walk off and leave it behind
If I thought that you needed money, why I'd sell my own soul
And I'd even steal from the poor and the blind.

I can't understand how ice can glitter like fire
Why you had me fooled all alone
I gave you all that I had then I searched around for more
And now I've got nothing at all and you're gone.

I must have done something bad sometime in my life
And I paid for it time and again and again...

"I Really Don't Want To Know"

"I Really Don't Want To Know"


(But I really don't want to know.)

How many arms have held you
And hated to let you go
How many, how many I wonder
But I really don't want to know.

How many lips have kissed you
And set your soul aglow
How many, how many I wonder
But I really don't want to know.

So always make me wonder
Always make me guess
And even if I ask you
Darling, don't confess.

Yes, just let it remain your secret
But darling I love you so
No wonder, no wonder I wonder
No, I really don't want to know...

"I Said All That To Say All This"

"I Said All That To Say All This"


Last night when I said it was gettin' colder
I thought you'd take the hint
Well, I wanted my arm around your shoulder
That's what I really meant.

When I asked if I could drive you home
I didn't want to be alone
We've been friends a long, long time
Oh, why can't you see what's on my mind.

I said all that to say all this
I want your touch and I need your kiss
Honey, if I even had half the nerve
I'd give in' and give you desert.

Every other thing that you do to me
You make my head spin and my knees go weak
I follow your love and I can't resist
I said all that to say all this.

Baby, I'm standing on the edge
All I need is a little push
But it's hard to speak my heart
So I keep beatin' around the bush.

When I said I need someone like you
Couldn't you see where it was leading too
Your the only one who can do it
Where I thought you'd see right through it.

I said all that to say all this
I want your touch and I need your kiss
Honey, if I even had half the nerve
I could even follow this urge

Every other thing that you do to me
You make my head spin and my knees go weak
I follow your love and I can't resist
I said all that to say all this.

I follow your love and I can't resist
I said all that to say all this...

"I Saw Me"

"I Saw Me"


For the first time tonight I saw me
And I said to myself what a fool
He placed a crown on your head
Believed the lies, each one you said
For the first time tonight I saw me.

Yes, I looked into my eyes
And saw the reason why she cried
Saw a picture of a fool
Who should still be by her side.

For the first time tonight I saw me
And I'm ashamed for now I can see
Love she gave all in vain
I was one, her everything
For the first time tonight I saw me.

Yes, I looked into my eyes
And saw the reason why she cried
Saw a picture of a fool
Who should still be by her side.

For the first time tonight I saw me
And I'm ashamed for now I can see
Love she gave all in vain
I was one, her everything
For the first time tonight I saw me.

Yes, for the first time tonight I saw me...

"I Should've Called"

"I Should've Called"


Spent a week in Houston and watched it
Spent a day in Dallas missing
Lord, it sure was cold up in Montreal
I thought of you and I should've

Acapulco, lying in the sun
Spending all my gold drinking
Mexicali women, tan and tall
Wish you were here, I should've called

In spite of all my good intentions
I am the one who built the wall
All by myself, who ever thought
I sure miss you, I should've called

California is nice this time of year
Colorado and they got good
Back in Tennessee it's and early fall
I still love you, I should've called

I still love you, I should've called
I still love you, I should've called

"I Sleep Just Like A Baby"

"I Sleep Just Like A Baby"


By now I bet she's wonderin' how I'm doin'
If it broke my heart when she told me goodbye
Well, every night I sleep just like a baby
I wake up every hour and cry

I'll bet she even thinks I'm gonna miss her
She probably thinks she's always on my mind
But every night I sleep just like a baby
I wake up every hour and cry

She believes that I can't live without her
And it hurts so bad some times I almost die
Well, every night I sleep just like a baby
I wake up every hour and cry

You know I bet way down deep
That she thinks I'll always love her
And I'll bet she thinks I'll never love another
No matter how hard I try

But every night I sleep just like a baby
I wake up every hour and cry
Lord, every night I sleep just like a little bitty baby
I wake up every hour and cry
I wake up every hour and cry
