Developing My Pictures

Developing My Pictures

I'm developing my pictures my mind's a dark room
The proofs I'm searching for will be made clear soon
I'm developing my pictures of the girl I admire
Soon I will see you know you as you really are
I'm told you wear two faces to hide things from me

I've heard you've spoken very unkind words of me
I don't believe hear say and take what I see
But I've got to believe you love me
I'm developing my pictures...
Yes I want to see you an' know you as you really are

Did I Ever Tell You

Did I Ever Tell You

Well honey did I ever tell you just how wonderful you are
Every time you hold me I'll be floatin' with the stars in the sky
I wonder why I guess it's love love love love
Well baby did I ever tell you that you're the greatest guy
Honey are you with me when I look into your eyes
I wonder why I wonder why I guess it's love love love love

Well now don't you know you send me where I never been before
I just want to let you know I love you so

Well I like to hear you talkin' but you're wastin' your time
You're not playin' nothin' that I don't already know
Well baby did I ever tell you that you got what it takes
And every time you tuck me in your arms I shake
I wonder why I wonder why I guess it's love love love love
[ steel ]
Well now don't you know you send me...
I guess it's love love love love I guess it's love love love love

Divorce Or Destroy

Divorce Or Destroy

We've lived together for a long time
But now the love is gone we once knew
We're old enough to know we can't live life this way
And young enough to start with somebody new.

So it's divorce or destroying each other
Which one of the two should we chose
You say in your heart there's no love left for me
And in my heart there's no love left for you.

We stay together for the children

Soon the children will be grown and be gone
Yet we keep on destroying each other
And to live life this way just must be wrong,

So it's divorce or destroying each other
Which one of the two should we chose
You say in your heart there's no love left for me
And in my heart there's no love left for you.

In my heart, no love left for you...

Dixieland For Me

Dixieland For Me

I'm dreaming tonight of the mountains that's where I long to roam
The roosters crow at the break of day in my Dixie home sweet home
Old people here they just don't care I never saw the beat
That road ahead is mighty long but it's Dixieland for me
I'm going back to my old home in the mountains far away
Where the wild red roses smell so sweet and the rippling waters play
Old people here they just don't care...
This city life is not for me I'm going where the neighbors speak
That road ahead is mighty long but it's Dixieland for me
Old people here they just don't care...
That road ahead is mighty long but it's Dixieland for me

Do What You Think's Best

Do What You Think's Best

Well, today you're goinna leave me, that you and I are through
That's alright if that's what you want to do
But you turned out to be unfaithful just like the rest
So go ahead and leave, do what you think's best.

But I'll get by without your love I've done it before
Old cupid wouldn't give us a shove you don't love me no more
I know you tried it's plain you couldn't stand the test
So go ahead and leave, do what you think's best.

--- Instrumental ---

If your poor old heart gets lonely and you wanna return

Just make sure before you come back your lesson you've learned
I'll be here with arms wide open I need you I confess
It's up to you now do what you think's best.

But I'll get by without your love I've done it before
Old cupid wouldn't give us a shove you don't love me no more
I knowed you tried it's plain you couldn't stand the test
Go ahead and leave, do what you think's best.

Go ahead and leave, do what you think's best...

Don't Be Angry

Don't Be Angry

Don't be angry with me darling if I fail to understand
All your little whims and wishes all the time
Just remember that I'm dumb I guess like any foolish man
And my head stays sorta foggy cause you're mine

Well I recall the first time that I flirted with you dear
When I jokingly said come and be my bride
Now that time has turned the pages it's the sweetest joke on earth
That I have you dear forever by my side
[ steel ]
Maybe someday you're gonna hurt me I've been hurt in love before
Only God can know and time alone will tell
But in the mean time I'll keep loving you with all my heart and soul
And pray God to let it last if it's his will

So don't be angry with me darling if I fail to understand
All your little whims and wishes all the time
Just remember that I'm dumb I guess like any foolish man
And my head stays sorta foggy cause you're mine

Don't Do It Darlin'

Don't Do It Darlin'

There are so many flirty guys with flirty, flirty ways
And I'm so afraid that they will try to steal you some day (oh, oh, oh
But don't you let 'em darling, 'cause you belong to me (ooo, ooo, ooo
Oh, please don't ever let them think your heart is fancy free (ooo ooo ooo
Don't do it darlin', that heart belong to me.

They'll tell you that I'll travel and you should do the same
They'll tell you that they need your love so why not make the change
Oh, don't do it darlin', that love belongs to me

Oh, please don't ever let them blind you, I love you don't you see
Oh don't do it darlin', that heart belongs to me.

--- Instrumental ---

They'll offer you a mansion askin' you to be their queen
So they can give you riches, make you life a happy thing
But don't let them darlin', that dream belongs to me
Oh, sure they'll try to buy your love with riches such as these
Oh, but don't let 'em do it darlin', that heart belongs to me

Don't Get Around Much Anymore

Don't Get Around Much Anymore

Missed the Saturday dance
Yet they crowded the floor
Couldn't bear it much without you.
Don't get around much anymore.

Been invited on dates
Might of gone but what for
Awfully distant without you
Don't get around much anymore.

Well, it's all gone I guess
But my minds more at ease
And never the less
We'll stir up some more memories.

Been invited on dates (well, well)
I might of gone but what for (I've heard that before, myself)
It's so lonesome without you (I miss you George)
Don't get around much anymore.

(Spoken)
You know George it's really true
You don't get around much anymore
You haven't been to see me on a Leer Jet
I'm out here right now bro.
I know but I was thinkin' about the old days
When you used to take the lawn mower

Oh, I tried to get to Amirillo
But man, it was to far with a ten horse power
Well, you had, you had a red Buick though didn't you
For two week I had a red Buick
And found out later it was gold
Well, hmm as long as you don't start doing that duck
Well, he's not to bad anymore haha
Nancy run him off... haha quack...

(Sang)
It's all gone I guess
But my minds all at ease
And never the less
We'll stir up some old memories.

Been invited on dates
I might of gone but what for
It's so lonesome without you
Don't get around much anymore.

(Spoken)
Hey, you know we need to get back on the radio
George, that's what we need to do
Hey

(Sang)
Don't get around much anymore...

Don't Go

Don't Go

As I sat at home with my troubles today
I was tempted to walk the wrong way
I remember the voice that once led me from sin
And I heard the same voice again
Don't go don't go don't go don't go don't go back to the tavern and sin
Don't go don't go don't go don't go don't go back and start drinking again
I could hear lots of laughter just over the way
My friends sounded happy and gay
I started to walk but my knees gave away
As I fell I heard the voice say

Don't go don't go don't go don't go just kneel by your bedside and pray
Don't go don't go don't go don't go God will answer your prayers today
God freed me from sin like he did once before
Now I'm happy as a man can be
God's voice sounded pleased as he spoke the next words
God must have seen a great change in me
Go on go on go on go on ask your friends there to kneel down and pray
Go on go on go on go on ask God will answer their prayers today

Don't Keep Me Lonely Too Long

Don't Keep Me Lonely Too Long

It sure gets lonely alone no one to talk to alone
Nights sure get longer since you've gone don't leave me lonely too long
I need your arms to hold me and hear you say you need me
Don't let me live on dreams alone don't keep me lonely too long
Mem'ries are bad for one so lonely

My tortured heart cries out because it loves and wants you only
Yes I'm too lonely alone afraid of being alone
Without your love I can't go on don't leave me lonely too long
Don't leave me lonely too long
