"You Never Know Just How Good You've Got It"

"You Never Know Just How Good You've Got It"


Hey, once I was a honky-tonkin talk of the town
Riding high up in my bad Chevrolet
Had seven pretty woman, Lord, hanging on me
A kissing one for every day.

Aw, but look at me now my women's left town
And a buck is getting hard to come by
Yes, I must confess my life's a big mess
I'm so low I could lay down and die.

Well, you never know just how good you've got it
Till you ain't got it no more
You never know just how high you're flyin'
Till you fall straight down on the floor.

All I can do now is just to moan the blues
And dream about what I had before
You never know just how good you've got it
Till you ain't got it no more.

Yeah, uh huh
Lookout now

Oh, the first time in my ramblin' life
True love finally fell in my hands
But it's impossible to love just one
With another on the other end.

Hey, I begged her to stay but she left anyway
I lost her and she's to hard to find
What else can I do, some you win, some you lose
But I think I lost a good one this time.

Well, you just don't know how good you've got it
Till you ain't got it no more
You never no just how high you're flyin'
'Till you fall straight down on the floor

All I do now is just to moan the blues
And dream about what I had before
You never know just how good you got it
Till you ain't got it no more.

Hey, you never know just how good you've got it
Till you ain't got it no more...

"You Never Looked That Good When You Were Mine"

"You Never Looked That Good When You Were Mine"


Well I saw you today and I thought for a while I was dreaming.
You were the loveliest girl I'd seen in a long long time.
You introduced me to him and while we were talking
I just stood there thinking you never looked that good when you were mine.

It was all I could do to hide all the things I was feeling.
Lord just lookin' at you sent chills up and down my spine.
I wanted so much to reach and touch you but I just stood there dyin'.
You never looked that good when you were mine.

You know hunny, I've wondered so many times
if you still stayed out late the way we used to do.
With all of our old friends, the jukebox and all that wine.

Oh maybe you just stay at home lovin' one another
'Cause you never looked that good when you were mine.

Oh if I knew then what I know now we'd still be together.
'Cause you never looked that good when you were mine.

"You Never Thought"

"You Never Thought"


Who's gonna be to blame when dreams are all in vain
And find out then that there's somebody new
Who's gone away someday, they hadn't gone away
I bet you never thought it would be you
I bet you never thought it could be you

You'll walk the floor and weep, you will tremble in your sleep
You'll sit and wonder what you're gonna do
Who's gonna pray each night for the Lord to bring daylight
I bet you never thought it could be you you
I bet you never thought it would be you.

Who's gonna feel ashamed each time they hear my name
And be sorry that they broke a heart in two
I think you ought to know so I'll tell you before I go
I bet you never thought it would be you you
I bet you never thought it could be you

"You Oughta Be Here With Me"

"You Oughta Be Here With Me"


If you think, it's lonesome where you are tonight.
Well you oughta be here with me.
If you think there's heartache where you are tonight.
Then you oughta be here with me.

Because with you I'm whole. Without you I'm cold.
So if you think about me where you are tonight
Then you oughta be here with me.

If teardrops are fallin' where you are tonight.
Then you oughta be here with me.
If loneliness calls you where you are tonight.
Then you oughta be here with me.

Because with you I'm whole. Without you I'm cold.
So if you think about me where you are tonight
Then you oughta be here with me.

You know if nobody loves you darlin'
And it's lonely where you are tonight.
Honey, Don't you know you oughta be here with me?
And Here's thinking of you. Ah, wherever you are tonight

But you oughta be here with me.

Because with you I'm whole. Without you I'm cold.
So if you think about me where you are tonight
Then you oughta be here with me.

Darling, You oughta be here with me...

"You Win Again"

"You Win Again"


The news is out all over town
that you've been seen a runnin' round
I know that I should leave but then
I just can't go, you win again.

This heart of mine could never see
What everybody knew but me
Just trusting you was my great sin
What can I do, you win again.

I'm sorry for your victim now
'Cause soon his head like mine will bow
He'll give his heart but all in vain
And someday say, you win again.

You have no heart you have no shame
You take true love and give the blame
I guess that I should not complain
I love you still, you win again...

"You'll Never Grow Old (To Me)"

"You'll Never Grow Old (To Me)"


I know that everything must age and things grow old with time
Except the thought of loving you and knowing that you're mine
Your lips stay young and tender just the way they used to be
And because it's you with your love so true you'll never grow old to me.

The leaves turn brown in autumn and sometimes the flowers won't bloom
But in the coldest days of winter you're like a rose that grows in June
You're always warm as the sunshine when I hold you tenderly
And because it's you with your love so true you'll never grow old to me.

And as the world grows old around you I'll look back and see
Because it's you with your love so true you'll never grow old to me.

You'll never grow old to me

"You're Back Again"

"You're Back Again"


You're back again but are you here to stay
Or have you come again to lead my heart astray
You know I love you though you treat me like this
You're back again and I know I'll get burnt.

Every time I hold and kiss you
You cause me to love you even more
My crazy heart just can't realize
You're back again just telling me lies.

Every time I hold and kiss you
You cause me to love you even more.
My crazy heart just can't realize
You're back again just telling me lies

"You're Everything"

"You're Everything"


You're everything my heart has cried for
Everything I've heard and tried for
You're the only thing I glide for, you belong to me.

You're the only one I dream for
Only one I cheat and scheme for
No one else, I'd fight and scream for, you belong to me.

You're the one thing I can't do without
And you're the only one I'd never doubt
You're exactly what I knew you'd be
You're the reason I'm completely me.

You're the only one who wants me
Only one some day will haunt me
You're everything I wanted it to be
Yes, you're everything, that means everything to me.

Yes, you're everything, that means everything to me...

"You're Gonna Change (Or I'm Gonna Leave)"

"You're Gonna Change (Or I'm Gonna Leave)"


Well, you wore out a brand new trunk
Packin' and unpackin' your junk
Your daddy's mad he's done got peeved
You're gonna change or I'm a gonna leave.

You're gonna change your way of livin'
Change the things you do
Stop doin' all the things that you oughtn't to
Your daddy's mad he's done got peeved
You're gonna change or I'm a gonna leave.

Well, now this ain't right and that ain't wrong
You just keep a-naggin' all the day long
It's gotta stop I don't mean please
You're gonna change or I'm a gonna leave.

The way they keep a lover happy
Make her do what's right
It's love her every morning love her out at night
Your daddy's mad he's done got peeved
You're gonna change or I'm a gonna leave.

Well, now every time you get mad
You pack your rags and you go back to dad
You tell him lies he don't believe
You're gonna change or I'm a gonna leave.

You're gonna change your way of livin'
Change the things you do
Stop doin' all the things that you oughtn't to
Your daddy's mad he's done got peeved
You're gonna change or I'm a gonna leave...

"You're In My Heart"

"You're In My Heart"


Please believe me when I say I can only feel one way
Every minute of the day you're in my heart
As I go down life's highway every night and every day
Please believe me when I say you're in my heart

Nothing dear could change my mind
You're in my heart to stay all the time
There will never in this world ever be a sweeter girl
Please believe me when I say you're in my heart

Nothing dear could change my mind
You're in my heart to stay all the time
There will never in this world ever be a sweeter girl
Please believe me when I say you're in my heart
