"Charlie And Betty"

"Charlie And Betty"


Betty walked in with a red dress on
Charlie's first glance, he was fallin' in love
He didn't have to say what he felt that day

So Charlie promised Betty she had his heart
And Betty promised Charlie they'd never
Part till their dyin' day

Well, it didn't take long for the winds to change
Charlie's busy workin', Betty's home each day
And Charlie never knew 'bout Betty feelin' blue

So Charlie promised Betty she had his heart
And Betty promised Charlie they'd never
Part till their dyin' day

For so long things have been so wrong
Charlie always thought that he'd always be true
But he didn't know what a broken heart could do

Till Betty walked in with her blue dress on
At Charlie's first glance, he knew she was gone
She didn't have to say why she left that day

But Betty promised Charlie he had her heart
And Charlie promised Betty they'd never
Part till his dyin' day

Betty walked up with her black dress on
We all wondered if she would come and
What she'd have to say
Charlie's restin' place
But Betty had it written on Charlie's grave
"You had my heart till your dyin' day"
That's what I came to say

"Crazy From The Heat"

"Crazy From The Heat"


Summertime came to Sicamore Street
They were seventeen and crazy from the heat
Full moon filled the Mississippi sky
That was their first time

Silhouettes danced on the living room wall
She took him by the hand and led him down the hall
Under the spell of a casablanca fan
She became a woman and he became a man

[Chorus:]
Oh the fire and lust draws you in and burns you up
Ooh the feelings so sweet
Makes you go crazy
Crazy from the heat

All summer along they were slipping around
Making the most of that feeling they'd found
Word got out, the town began to talk
Her mama and daddy found out about it all

[Chorus]

Cardboard boxes on a cold drive way
He watched from his window as they drove away
She looked up, she got in
He never saw her again

[Chorus]

Summertime came to Sicamore Street
They were seventeen and crazy from the heat

"Cry"

"Cry"


If your sweetheart sends a letter of goodbye
It's no secret you'll feel better if you cry
When waking from a bad dream don't you sometimes think it's real?
But it's only false emotions that you feel

If your heartaches seem to hang around too long
And your blues keep getting bluer with each song
Remember sunshine can be found behind the cloudy skies
So let your hair down and go on and cry

If your heartaches seem to hang around too long
And your blues keep getting bluer with each song
Well, just remember, sunshine can be found behind the cloudy skies
So let your hair down and go on and cry
Let your hair down, baby, go on and cry

"Crying Time"

"Crying Time"


Oh, it's crying time again
Your going to leave me
I can see that far away look in your eye
I can tell by the way you hold me, darling
That it won't be long before it's crying time

Now they say that absence makes a heart grow fonder
(Fonder)
And the tears are only rain to make love grow
Well, my love for you could never grow no stronger
(Stronger)
If I live to be a hundred years old

Oh, it's crying time again
You're going to leave me
I can see that far away look in your eye
I can tell by the way you hold me, darling

That it won't be long before it's crying time

Now they say that you found someone who loved you better
That's the way it's happened every time before
And as sure as the sun comes up tomorrow
Crying time will start when you walk out the door

Oh, it's crying time again
Your going to leave me
I can see that far away look in your eye
I can tell by the way you hold me, darling
That it won't be long before it's crying time

Yeah, it won't be long before it's crying time

"Dear Me"

"Dear Me"


Dear me
I'm writin' this letter to try and tell myself
It's time for me to feel better

Dear me
How could I turn away when he needed me
Now all that's left to say is "dear me"
Oh, what have I done
Oh, and dear me
He's my only one
If he could see me now
Sittin' here all alone
If he could read these words
Would he run back home
Dear me

Dear me
Do you really mind
You're the only friend
Who will take the time to hear me
Oh, and all the plans we've made
If he'll take me back
I'll do anything to make him stay
Oh, dear me
We'll start all over again
Oh, and dear me
I hope he'll stay 'til the end
If he could see me now
Sittin' here all alone
If he could read these words
Would he run back home
Dear me

Dear me
We'll start all over again
Oh, and dear me
I hope he'll stay 'til the end
If he could see me now
Sittin' here all alone
If he could read these words
Would he run back home
Dear me

Dear me
You know I need him near me
You know I love him, dear me

"Diamonds From A Willow Tree"

"Diamonds From A Willow Tree"


Diamonds from a willow tree
Music from the birds and bees
Perfume from a flower bed
And clouds of pillows for my head

Velvet grass and flutterbys
A sea of love that wont run dry
This is what you offered me
A fantasy, a dream you dreamed

But willows cant grow diamond rings
Its left over rain early morning sun signs of spring
The music the birds make
Is just a sight of life that awaits

The velvet grass is windblown weeds
And flutterbys I've never seen
A sea of love I've never sailed
Its just a tale, another dream you dreamed

Where's the clouds for pillows send
Perfume dont grow in flower beds
A sea of love is just a sea
A willow tree is just a tree

"Do You Still Wanna Buy Me That Drink (Frank)"

"Do You Still Wanna Buy Me That Drink (Frank)"


Sir, I do appreciate the offer.
I don't believe I caught your name.
I don't get to get out very often.
It's hard to find the time to get away.
I think it's only fair you hear my story,
Before you spend three-fifty on that beer.

I got two little kids that call me Momma.
My fifteen-year-old thinks that I'm a witch.
Between soccer practice and ballet,
Eminem an' Dr Dre,
Romance is the last thing on my list.
So, Frank, was it? Tell me what you think:
Do you still want to buy me that drink?

Frank, tell me, how d'you feel,
About teenage girls bein' on the pill?
An' do you mind Friday nights at home?
'Cause, Frankie, I've been here before,
Married twice an' twice divorced.
An' alimony sure don't pay the bills.
Now that's an awful lot of information,
But I don't have the time to mess around.

'Cause I got two little kids that call me Momma.
An' my fifteen-year-old wants to pierce his lip.
Between algebra an' spellin' bees,
An' anythin' to keep the peace,
Romance is the last thing on my list.
So, Frank, honey, tell me what you think:
Do you still want to buy me that drink?

I got two little kids that call me Momma.
An' my fifteen-year-old's really a good kid.
I really wouldn't blame you none,
If you got the urge to up an' run.
Is bein' 'Daddy' even on your list?
So, Frank, darlin', tell me what you think:
Do you still want to buy me;
I'll have a Miller Lite, please,
If you still want to buy me that drink.

Frank, c'mon back Frank.
You look a little pale, Frank.
It was just a joke.

"Don't Stop In My World (If You Don't Mean To Stay)"

"Don't Stop In My World (If You Don't Mean To Stay)"


What are you doing here, you never wanted me before
Have you run out of fools or just looking for one more
Well my love is stronger than words of any song
So don't love me today, if tomorrow you'll be gone
Don't stop in my world if you don't mean to stay
Don't give me something, then take it away
To have you and to lose you, would be more than I could take
Don't stop in my world if you don't mean to stay

I've watched you spread your wings, and fly too high so many times
Always just quite out of reach, but never quite out of my mind
If you just need me now, to get over a fall
Don't give me any love if you can't give it all
Don't stop in my world if you If you don't mean to stay
Don't give me something, then take it away
To have you and to lose you, would be more than I could take
Don't stop in my world if you don't mean to stay
Don't stop in my world if you don't mean to stay

"Don't Touch Me"

"Don't Touch Me"


Your hand is like a torch each time you touch me
That look in your eyes pulls me apart
Don't open the door to heaven if I can't come in
Don't touch me, if you don't love me sweetheart

Your kiss is like a drink when I'm thirsty
And I'm thirsty for you with all my heart
Don't love me, then act as though we've never kissed
Don't touch me, if you don't love me sweetheart

Don't give me something
That you might take away
To have then you then lose you
Wouldn't be smart on my part

Don't open the door to heaven if I can't come in
Don't touch me, if you don't love me sweetheart

Don't give me something
That you might take away
To have then you then lose you
Wouldn't be smart on my part

Don't open the door to heaven if I can't come in
Don't touch me, if you don't love me sweetheart

Don't touch me, if you don't love me sweetheart
