"Famous Last Words Of A Fool"

"Famous Last Words Of A Fool"

I told her I wouldn't miss her at all as she walked to the door.
I couldn't care less if she didn't care anymore.
And with tears in my eyes I lied I was glad we were through,
As she drove away crying at the famous last words of a fool.

[Chorus:]
Famous last words of a fool, famous last words of a fool.
"You won't break my heart," and "I don't love you."
Famous last words of a fool.

The first night without her would be easy I kept telling myself.
All the while dyin' at the thought of her lyin' somewhere else.
And there'll be nothing to it, I'll easily find someone new,
As my breakin' heart echoed the famous last words of a fool.

[Chorus]

"You won't break my heart," and "I don't love you."
Famous last words of a fool.

"Faults And All"

"Faults And All"

Not so very long from now
She'll be known all over town
Cause she waits by her phone from in the car
She says the limit is the sky
And tonight she's flyin' high
But I'll hang around and take her faults and all

O' Yes she once was mine
Now she's changed and she's that kind
With a crowd she has her self a ball
But she's not that kind of girl
She's just hidin' from the world
But I'll hang around and take her faults and all

She's about as low as a girl can go
She ain't got far to fall
But when she hits the ground
I'm gonna be around
'Cause I want her most of all
And when all's been said and done
I'm gonna be the one
Who'll hang around and take her faults and all

Yeah I'll hang around and take her faults and all

"Fifteen Years Going Up (And One Night Coming Down)"

"Fifteen Years Going Up (And One Night Coming Down)"

15 years together
We climbed by work and will
From a simple two room cottage
To a mansion on the hill
Now there's rose in the garden
But it's the coldest place in town
It took 15 years, goin' up
And one night comin' down

15 years of heaven
For one short night of sin
From blue skies forever
To an end
From out on a mountain
To both knees on the ground
15 years, goin' up
And one night comin' down

Her dreams have all been shattered
Her faith in my is gone
My tears tell her I'm sorry
But they can't write my wrong
One night wrote my story
How a man can lose it all
After 15 years goin' up
It's hard to take a fall

15 years of heaven
For one short night of sin
From blue skies forever
To an end
From out on a mountain
To both knees on the ground
15 years, goin' up
And one night comin' down

I've been, 15 years goin' up
And one night comin' down

"Fool Hearted Memory"

"Fool Hearted Memory"

Nickels and dimes, memories and wines - she's on his mind once again.
The same old stool, the same old fool; played by the rules, but didn't win.
There's an old love in his heart that he can't lose.
He tried forgettin', but he knows that it's no use.

[Chorus:]
He's got a fool hearted memory.
It won't let him see that she walked out the door.
He's got a fool hearted memory,
And he sits patiently here every night so it can fool him more.

She was his girl, his only whirl, that string of pearls that slipped away.
A thousand dimes, a thousand times - he doesn't mind what they say.
He fills the jukebox, and plays the same old song.
He fills his glass, and then he turns her memory on.

[Chorus:]
But it's a fool hearted memory.
It won't let him see that she walked out the door.
He's got a fool hearted memory.
And he sits patiently here every night so it can fool him more.

He's got a fool hearted memory.
It won't let him see that she walked out the door.
He's got a fool hearted memory.
And he sits patiently here every night so it can fool him more.

"For Christ's Sake, It's Christmas"

"For Christ's Sake, It's Christmas"

Let there be not one stranger
To away in a manger
Let there be not one soul left untold
Let there be not one face unknown to the face of the one
Who will gather the foe

[Chorus:]
For Christ's sake, it's Christmas
So for Christ sake let everyone know
They all have the choice so lift up your voice
Make sure they know by Christmas Eve
Pray that everyone sees that we've opened the eyes
That were closed
For Christ's sake it's Christmas
And for Christ's sake let everyone know

[Chorus]

"Four Down And Twelve Across"

"Four Down And Twelve Across"

I don't know what to think of it
Sometimes I hate it
Sometimes I love it
Girl, this relationship we're in
To say the least it's puzzlin'

Like a crossword puzzle
Fill in the blanks

[Chorus:]
What's four down and twelve across
Two letter synonym for lost That's me
And a three letter word
That rhymes with through
Oh I get it, that's you

Never believed in horoscopes
But to the left of the ad
For a new dishwashin' soap
Dear Abby's got some good advice
For a troubled couple lost in paradise

In the Living section
Page two

What's four down and twelve across
Two letter synonym for lost
That's me
And a three letter word
That rhymes with through
Oh, I get it

That's you, that's me, that's us
Sometimes love ain't enough
We try and try
For the life of me, why did we give up

[Chorus]

That's me
Oh, that's us
What's four down and twelve across That's us

"Friday Night Fever"

"Friday Night Fever"

I love the sound of a jukebox playing,
So I sit here while she's staying home watching Dallas on TV
I love the taste of whiskey straight,
But the strongest thing she ever takes is a sip from a small glass of Chablis.
Though birds of a different feather, our love keeps us together,
And she knows what's wrong with me tonight,

[Chorus:]
I've got that Friday night fever;
Sometimes a man just needs a breather.
She knows I love her and I need her.
And I'm no cheater,
I've just got that Friday night fever.

She wouldn't change me if she could, so I wouldn't change her, she's too good.
Sometimes a man just needs a change of pace.
I've heard all those come-on lines, but I go home at closing time.
I know no one could ever take her place
Now she's taking down her hair, she knows I'll soon be there
To give her the love she needs tonight.

[Chorus]

I got that Friday night fever.

"Frosty The Snowman"

"Frosty The Snowman"

Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul.
With a corn cob pipe and a buttoned nose
And two eyes made out of coal.

Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale they say.
He was made of snow, but the children know
How he came to life one day.

There must have been some magic
In that old silk hat they found,
For when they placed it on his head
He began to dance around.

Frosty the snowman was alive as he could be.
And the children say he could laugh and play
Just the same as you and me.

Frosty the snowman knew the sun was hot that day,
So he said, "Let's run and have some fun now, before I melt away."

Down to the village, with a broomstick in his hand,
Runnin' here and there all around the square
Sayin', "Catch me if you can."

He led them down the streets of town right to the traffic car.
And he only paused a moment when he heard them holler, "Stop."
For Frosty the snowman had to hurry on his way,
But he waived goodbye, saying, "Please don't cry, I'll be back again some day."

"Give It All We Got Tonight"

"Give It All We Got Tonight"

July moonlight shines
Your pretty little head on my shoulder
Pull over on the side of the road
Oh my God, you're something
Like nothing I've ever seen
If I'm asleep girl, let me dream

Baby fall into my kiss
It should just happen like this
Trust it so much that there's no one else but us and
This moment that says it's so right
'Cause that's all we have in this life
Drink up this love, baby, give it all we got tonight

Summer honeysuckle
Leaking through a rolled down window
We both know when that seat lays back
Anything can happen
So imagine it'll never end
Just close your eyes and you can see that we are where we're meant to be

Baby fall into my kiss
It should just happen like this
Trust it so much that there's no one else but us and
This moment that says it's so right
'Cause that's all we have in this life
Baby, drink up this love, give it all we got tonight
Give it all we got tonight

Baby fall into my kiss
It should just happen like this
Trust it so much that there's no one else but us and
This moment that says it's so right
That's all we have in this life
Drink up this love, c'mon, give it all we got tonight
Give it all we got tonight

"Give It Away"

"Give It Away"

She was stormin' through the house that day
And I could tell she was leavin
And I thought, aw, she'll be back
'Til she turned around and pointed at the wall an said

That picture from our honeymoon
That night in Frisco Bay
Just give it away
She said, give it away
And that big four-poster king-size bed
Where so much love was made
Just give it away
She said, just give it away

Just give it away
There ain't nothin' in this house worth fightin' over
Oh, and we're both tired of fightin' anyway
So just give it away

So I tried to move on
But I found that each woman I held
Just reminded me of that day
Hmmm

When that front door swung wide open
She flung her diamond ring
Said, give it away
Just give it away
And I said, now, honey, don't you even want
Your half of everything
She said, give it away
Just give it away

Just give it away
There ain't nothin' in this house worth fightin' over
Oh, and we're both tired of fightin' anyway
So just give it away

[Instrumental interlude]

So I'm still right here where she left me
Along with all the other things
She don't care about anymore
Mmmm, like that picture from our honeymoon
That night in Frisco Bay
She said, give it away
Well, I can't give it away
And that big four-poster king-size bed
Where all our love was made
She said, give it away
Well, I can't give it away

I've got a furnished house, a diamond ring
And a lonely broken heart
Full of love and I can't even give it away
