"You Don't Bring Me Flowers"

"You Don't Bring Me Flowers"



You don't bring me flowers
You don't sing me love songs
You hardly talk to me anymore
When you come through the door
At the end of the day

I remember when
You couldn't wait to love me
Used to hate to leave me

Now after lovin' me late at night
When it's good for you
And you're feeling alright
Well, you just roll over
And you turn out the light

You don't bring me flowers anymore

It used to be so natural
To talk about forever
But 'used to be's' don't count anymore
They just lay on the floor
'Til we sweep them away

And baby, I remember
All the things you taught me
I learned how to laugh
And I learned how to cry
Well I learned how to love
Even learned how to lie

You'd think I could learn
How to tell you goodbye
'Cause you don't bring me flowers
Anymore

Well, you'd think I could learn
How to tell you goodbye
'Cause you don't bring me flowers
Anymore

"You Don't Know Me"

"You Don't Know Me"



You don't know me
If you did
You would know if I loved you
Part of it's trust
And part of it's just being
When you loved me
Did you know
How I lived my life for you
Part of me died
And part of me just cried out
Say goodbye now
Don't lie anymore
When it's gone
We'll walk away
We'll move on
But if you loved me
Even now
Would you watch as I leave you
Maybe you would
And maybe I'd still be here
You don't know me
Don't try anymore
When it's gone
We'll walk away
We'll move on
But if you loved me
If you did
Would you watch as I leave you
Maybe you will
And maybe I will still be here
Trying to let go
You don't know me
Maybe I will still be here

"You Got To Me"

"You Got To Me"



Mama she always told me it would happen
But she never said
That it would happen like this
Papa said,
"Some little girl'll catch you nappin'
Some little girl will get to you with her kiss"

You got to me
You brought me to may knees
Never thought I'd say please, girl
You got to my soul
You got control you got to me,
You got to be mine

Used to slip
Though every girl's hand like water
There never was one
Who could ever tie me down
Straight ahead and steady as Gibraltar
'Til you brought me tumblin' to the ground

You got to me
You brought me to may knees
Never thought I'd say please, girl
You got to my soul
You got control, you got to me,
You got to be mine

You got to me
You brought me to may knees
Never thought I'd say please, girl
You got to my soul
You got control, you got to me,
You got to be mine

You got to me girl
All right come on now
Say you got to me

"You Make It Feel Like Christmas"

"You Make It Feel Like Christmas"



Look at us now,
Part of it all
In spite of it all,
We're still around

Lovers in love,
Just like we were
Being apart's a lonely sound

When people ask how we stay together
I say you never let me down
And you make it feel like Christmas
Even when things go wrong
I hear the sound of Christmas in your song
All year long
Yes, you know that I do

Look at the sun
Shining on me
Nowhere could be a better place

Lovers in love,
That's what we are
I reach for that star out there in space

'Cause you make it feel like Christmas
Even when things go wrong
I hear the sound of Christmas in your song
All year long
And you know that's it true

Sleepy we are,
But happy together
Sounds of forever
Greet the day
So wake up the kids,
Put on some tea
Light up the tree,
It's Christmas day

Yeah, you make it feel like Christmas
Even when things go wrong
I hear the sound of Christmas in your song
All year long
Yes you know that I do
All year long
Light up the tree,
It's Christmas time

"You Played The Field I Played The Fool"

"You Played The Field I Played The Fool"



You said farewell
And broke my heart in two
Without your love, what would I ever do?
You said you loved me,
But you were untrue
You played the field, I played the fool

I still recall the things you said to me
You said the love we shared
Was meant to be
But now you left me, and we're through
You played the field, I played the fool

I'm so all alone now
That you've left my side
You went out to roam, you broke my heart
You lied, you lied
Goodbye to all the love I ever knew
It hurts to see my lucky star turn blue
I gave you my heart, what did you do?
You played the field, I played the fool.

"You'll Forget"

"You'll Forget"



Loved her so
Then one day
She said she loved someone else instead
I'm goin' out of my head
'Cause over and over
I just hear the last words she said:

You'll forget
You'll forget that you loved me
And you'll stop thinkin' of me
You'll forget what you feel right now
But how?

There she stood,
The hands that once set me burning,
They were as cold as clay
And as she looked away
She said in the strangest voice the words
I never thought she'd say:

You'll forget,
You'll forget that you loved me
And you'll stop thinkin' of me
You'll forget what you feel right now
But how?

You know when you needed me
I was right there by your side.
But now you don't need me no more,
it's a fast goodbye, don't you cry

You'll forget,
You'll forget that you loved me
And you'll stop thinkin' of me
You'll forget
What you feel right now, but how?

You'll forget
You'll forget that you loved me
And you'll stop thinkin' of me
You'll forget what you feel right now
But how?

"You'll Never Be Anything But Mine"

"You'll Never Be Anything But Mine"



Do what you want to do
Say what you want to say
I won't ever, ever stop believing that
You'll never be anything but mine

Tell me there's someone else
Who's gonna share your kiss
I don't care and I know
You'll never be anything but mine

You run around all over town
But it won't be for long
But you'll be back after you've found
That our love's just to strong
Go where you want to go
Do what you want you want to do
I'll be waiting 'cause I know
You'll never be anything but mine

"You're So Sweet, Horseflies Keep Hangin' 'Round Your Face"

"You're So Sweet, Horseflies Keep Hangin' 'Round Your Face"



You're so sweet,
Horseflies keep hangin' 'round your face
Kentucky moonshine
Could never take your place
And your eyes
Could give me goose bumps down to my toes
Feel like the only rooster in the hencoop,
And I guess it shows.

Mary Lou Jane (oh Mary Lou Jane)
Oh what a fine name (what a fine name)
And you're nothing like them females
From Dover City
(nothin' at all)
Front teeth missin'
(hee, you got your front teeth missin')
And that's fine for kissin' (oh, feels so good)
You're more loyal than my dog Sam,
And twice as pretty (and that's goin' some)

You're so sweet,
Horseflies keep hangin' 'round your face
Kentucky moonshine
Could never take your place
And your eyes
Could give me goose bumps down to my toes
Feel like the only rooster in the hencoop,
and I guess it shows.

I can't forget (oh, no)
When we first met (first)
Well, it was bull wrestling time
At the county fair rodeo
(or is it ro-de-o)
And I almost cried (wept)
When you took first prize
(first prize, sweetheart)
Well,
You just looked them critters in the face
And down they'd go
(they never had a chance)

You're so sweet,
Horseflies keep hangin' 'round your face
Kentucky moonshine
Could never take your place
And your eyes
Could give me goose bumps down to my toes
Feel like the only rooster in the hencoop,
and I guess it shows.

You're so sweet,
Horseflies keep hangin' 'round your face
Kentucky moonshine
Could never take your place
And your eyes
Could give me goose bumps down to my toes
Feel like the only rooster in the hencoop,
And I guess it shows

"You've Got Your Troubles"

"You've Got Your Troubles"



I see that worried look upon your face
You've got your troubles, I've got mine

She's found somebody else
To take your place
You've got your troubles, I've got mine

I too have lost my love today
And all of my dreams have blown away
And so forgive me if I seem unkind
You've got your troubles, I've got mine

I'd help another time, another place
You've got your troubles, I've got mine

She used to love me, that I know
And it don't seem so long ago
That we were walking
And we were talking
The way lovers do

You need some sympathy
Well, so do I
You've got your troubles, I've got mine
I too have lost my love today
And all of my dreams have blown away
You've got your troubles, I've got mine
You've got your troubles, I've got mine

"You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'"

"You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'"



You never close your eyes anymore
When I kiss your lips
And there's no tenderness
Like before in your fingertips
You're trying hard not to show it, baby
But baby, baby
I know it

You've lost that lovin' feeling
Whoa, that lovin' feeling
You've lost that lovin' feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone, whoa...

Now there's no welcome look
In your eyes when I reach for you
And now you're starting to
Criticize little things I do
It makes me just feel like crying, baby
'Cause baby,
Something beautiful is dying

You lost that lovin' feeling
Whoa, that lovin' feeling
You've lost that lovin' feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone, whoa

Baby, baby,
I get down on my knees
And pray to you
If you would only love me
Like you used to do

We had a love, a love,
A love you don't find everyday
So don't, don't, don't
Don't let it slip away

Bring back that lovin' feeling
Oh, that lovin' feeling
Bring back that lovin' feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone
And I can't go on, whoa...

You've lost the lovin' feeling
Whoa, that lovin' feeling
You've lost the lovin' feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone

Bring back that lovin' feeling,
Whoa, that lovin' feeling
You've lost that lovin' feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone
