"Living Together Alone"

"Living Together Alone"



I can't believe the life we live
Or the love that we can't give to each other
I only know my dreams are gone
And that you've been carrying on with another.

That won't let us stop it
We're too blind to drop it
So we still go on
Living together alone.

Oh, I don't know how long we'll survive
Living here where love has died. it's a wonder
Loneliness surrounds this house now
We'll get by I don't how we're together.

A house that's dividing will tumble to the ground
And yet we still go on living together alone.
And yet we still go on living together alone...

"Lonesome 7-7203"

"Lonesome 7-7203"


Had our number changed today although I hated to
But each time the phone would ring they'd want to speak to you
And it hurts to tell them you're not here with me
Maybe now oh telephone will let me be
It's not in the book now so you'd better write it down
Just in case your love for me should ever come around
You might want to call and break the news to me just dial Lonesome 7-7203
[ steel ]
I keep the telephone beside me all the time
Hoping you might want to call and say you've changed your mind
If you do then darling you know where I'll be I'm at Lonesome 7-7203
You're the only one I'm givin' out new number to
So now if the telephone should ring I'll know it's you
If you ever long for love that used to be just call Lonesome 7-7203

"Loose Talk"

"Loose Talk"


So long we've been married last burden we've carried
Though fate kept us humble and made our love true
But plans that we'd make up someone seems to break up
Oh darling what else can we do
We may have to leave here to find piece of mind dear
Some place where we can live a life all our own
I know you love me and happy we could be if some folks would leave us alone
[ ac.guitar ]
They say you are leavin' that you are deceivin'
But you tell me they say the same about me
But we'll show them there on that loose talk and do harm
And hope that's the truth they will see
We may have to leave here...
[ steel ]
When I go out walkin' there's lots of loose talkin'
They say we're unhappy and we'll break apart
But darling that's not true because I still love you and I do with all of my heart
We may have to leave here...

"Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man"

"Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man"



Hey, Louisiana woman, Mississippi man
We get together every time we can.
The Mississippi River can keep us apart
There's too much love in the Mississippi heart.
Too much love in this Louisiana heart.

See the alligators all a waitin' nearby
Sooner or later they know I'm gonna try.
When she waves from the bank don't you know I know
It's goodbye fishin' line, see you while ago.
With a Louisiana woman waitin' on the other side
The Mississippi River don't look so wide.

Louisiana woman, Mississippi man
We get together every time we can.
The Mississippi River can keep us apart
There's too much love in the Mississippi heart.
Too much love in this Louisiana heart.

Well, I thought I'd been loved but I never had
Till I was wrapped In the arms of a Mississippi man.
When he holds me close it feels almost
Like another hurricane just ripped the coast.
If he can't come to me I'm gonna go to him
That Mississippi River Lord I'm gonna swim.

Hey, Louisiana woman, Mississippi man
We get together every time we can.
The Mississippi River can keep us apart
There's too much love in the Mississippi heart.
Too much love in this Louisiana heart.

Well, Mississippi River, Lord, it's one mile wide
And I'm gotta get me to the other side.
Mississippi man, I'm losin' my mind
Gotta have your loving one more time.
I'm gonna jump in the river and here I go
Too bad alligatior you swim too slow.

Hey, Louisiana woman, Mississippi man
We get together every time we can.
The Mississippi River can keep us apart
There's too much love in the Mississippi heart.
Too much love in this Louisiana heart.

There's too much love in the Mississippi heart.
Too much love in this Louisiana heart.

Heae...

There's too much love in the Mississippi heart.
Too much love in this Louisiana heart.

There's too much love in the Mississippi heart
Too much love in this Louisiana heart...

"Love Is No Excuse"

"Love Is No Excuse"



Love is no excuse for what we're doing
For we both know that two hearts could break
We tell ourselves we've got to have each other
But love is no excuse for us to make.

Sure we love each other and it could be so right
But not if someone else has got to pay
Our love for each other looks good in the night
But our love can never see the light of day.

It's been going on for much too long now
And our wrongs have mounted one by one
We tell ourselves that's cause we love each other
But love is no excuse for what we've done.

Sure we love each other and it could be so right
But not if someone else has got to pay
Our love for each other looks good in the night
But our love can never see the light of day...

"Love Is The Foundation"

"Love Is The Foundation"



I've seen him as he awakens in the morning
He reaches out his hand and without a word
As his fingers softly fall upon my face
He lights the flame of desire and makes me want him
And love is the foundation we lean on all you need is love to ease your mind
And does it have to be right to be called love
When he gives me more loving then a lifetime of looking could ever find
And love is the foundation we lean on...

"Love Takes A Long Time Dyin'"

"Love Takes A Long Time Dyin'"



Up again can't see all the hape I'm in this old broken heart just ain't gonna mend
I can't get over you so I stop cryin' cause love takes a long time dyin'
For me there's no road to recovery I'll live each day a hangin' on to a mem'ry
But when I think of you I can't stop cryin' cause love takes a long time dyin'

For me there's no road to recovery I'll live each day a hangin' on to a mem'ry
But when I think of you I can't help cryin' cause love takes a long time dyin'

"Love Was Right Here All The Time"

"Love Was Right Here All The Time"



I overlooked a love I couldn't see
Until that day you walked away from me
That's what it took for this poor fool to find
That your sweet love was right here all the time

When we broke up I started searchin' to
For our love hid from me as well as you
How could I be so foolish and so blind
When your true love was right here all the time

Right here was love when neither one expected it to be
Right here was love before our eyes that neither one could see
We'll let the world go by dear we won't mind
For our true love was right here all the time

Right here was love...

"Love Whatcha Got At Home"

"Love Whatcha Got At Home"


Well you say you're a red hot papa and the lover over town
Don't you think it's just about time oh mama cooled you down
Get them courtin' clothes back off don't let it take you along
Cause tonight big boy you're gonna stay right here and love whatcha got at home
Love whatcha got at home I quit that messin' around
Well everybody calls you lover boy and you like the way it sounds
Your home chores're never done because you're always gone
Well tonight big boy you're gonna stay right here and love whatcha got at home
[ steel ]
Well I watch TV till leauge goes on and then I count the sheep
I never know when you come home I cry myself to sleep
When you go out that door tonight consider yourself grown
Cause tonight big boy you're gonna stay right here and love whatcha got at home
Love whatcha got at home...
Well tonight big boy you're gonna stay right here and love whatcha got at home

"Love's Been Here And Gone"

"Love's Been Here And Gone"


Love's been here and gone but the mem'ry keeps holding on
Now I know how I'd be if I can leave through this love's been here and gone
When there's love your heart is strong but it weakens when love goes wrong
Now I've known that power dealt the parting hour love's been here and gone
I've loved once but never again a closed heart just won't let love in
Hopin' only to you oh what can I do love's been here and gone
[ piano ]
I've loved once but never again...
