"Hey There Little Miss Tease"



Hey there little miss tease
You got me weak in the knees
Wonderin' if you really care for me
Well ya don't say no, ya don't say yes
Ya always make me guess
Please put my heart at ease, little miss tease

Well please be true, say you long to hold me too

And I'm a happy guy

"History Of Love"

"History Of Love"



One day I read in a history book of love so long ago
About Adam and Eve had nothin' on us, but we need each other so
And we're goin' down in the history, history of love
Goin' down in the history, history of love

And then I read of Marie Antoinette, she lost her head over Louie
But I lost mine over you each day, because I love you truly
And we're goin' down in the history, history of love
Goin' down in the history, history of love

Delilah cut poor Samson's hair, what an evil thing to do
Well you can call me Samson from now on, 'cause you're my weakness too
And we're goin' down in the history, history of love
Goin' down in the history, history of love

"Honeycomb"

"Honeycomb"



Well it's a darn good life and it's kinda funny
How the bee was made, the bee made honey
And the honey bee lookin' for a home
Made a honeycomb

Then they combed the world and they gathered all
Of the honeycomb into one sweet ball
And the honeycomb from a million trips
Made my baby's lips

Oh honeycomb, won't you be my baby
Well honeycomb be my own
Just a hank o' hair and a piece o' bone
made a walkin', talkin' honeycomb
Well honeycomb won't you be my baby
Well honeycomb be my own
What a darn good life when you got a wife
Like honeycomb

Now have you heard tell how they made a bee
Then they tried a hand at a green, green tree
So the tree was made, I guess you heard
Up in, well they made a little bird

Now they waited around 'til the end o' spring
Savin' every note the bird did sing
And they rolled it up into one sweet tone
For my honeycomb

Honeycomb, won't you be my baby
Well honeycomb be my own
Just a hank o' hair and a piece o' bone
made a walkin', talkin' honeycomb
Well honeycomb won't you be my baby
Well honeycomb be my own
What a darn good life when you got a wife
Like honeycomb

In a little while when they made that bird
They looked around for a little word
Sounded sweet as turtle dove
So they called it love

Then they went around lookin' everywhere
Takin' love from here, love from there
And they stored it up in a little cart
For my honey's heart

Oh honeycomb, won't you be my baby
Well honeycomb be my own
Just a hank o' hair and a piece o' bone
made a walkin', talkin' honeycomb
Well honeycomb won't you be my baby
Well honeycomb be my own
What a darn good life when you got a wife
Like honeycomb

"Honky Tonk Woman"

"Honky Tonk Woman"



I met a gypsy bar-room queen in Memphis
She tried to take me upstairs for a ride
She had to put me right across her shoulder
Now I can't seem to drink you off my mind

She's a honky tonk woman
Give me, give me, give me the honky tonk blues

Sittin' in a bar, tippin' a jar in Jackson
And on the street, the summer sun did shine
There's many a bar-room queen I've had in Jackson
Now I can't seem to drink you off my mind

She's a honky tonk woman
Give me, give me, give me the honky tonk blues

I played a divorce in New York City
I had to put up some kind of a fight
The lady then all dressed me up in roses
She blew my nose, and then, she blew my mind

She's a honky tonk woman
Give me, give me, give me the honky tonk blues

She's a honky tonk woman
Give me, give me, give me the honky tonk blues
Give me, give me, give me the honky tonk blues
Said give me, give me, give me the honky tonk blues

"How Does It Go"

"How Does It Go"



I heard about a song that fills your heart with happiness
A special kind of song that only lovers know
I'm told that melody will take away the loneliness
Oh how does it go, oh how does it go

Before I hear that song, I guess better find someone
Someone whose warm caress can make me all a-glow
I hope I find her soon, I long to hear that magic tune
Oh how does it go, oh how does it go

Where are you little girl
Oh won't you hurry to my arms
Where are you little girl
I need to find you so

'Cause I can't bare to live inside this world of loneliness
Without someone to care I just can't get along
Your loves the only song my heart will ever want to know
Oh how does it go, oh how does it go

Well your loves the only song my heart will ever want to know
Oh how does it go, oh how does it go

"How Long"

"How Long"



How long before the train goes by
It never seems to get here
How long before the train goes by
Will I just sit here forever
How long

Time and time I've tried to speak
But no one seems to listen
And life's too short to carry on
So I guess I'll just sit here and listen
How long

Time goes so slowly when you want to go
And you can't find a reason to leave
I think you know what it's doing to me
And that's fine, if that's what you wanna see

How long before the train goes by
It never seems to get here
How long before the train goes by
Will I just sit here forever
How long
How long

"How Many Times"

"How Many Times"




Who am I to pass judgment on you
We knew it couldn't last, those things seldom do
You can't live your life just pleasing me
But I can't sacrifice what I want to be

I'm leaving cause I just can't take anymore
Find the person who I was before
How many times you fooled me
How many times you lied to me woman
I've been such a fool playin' your games
Now I know the rules, I'm losing just the same
We just can't go on living like we do
I know I been wrong chasing after you

Now it's good-bye, maybe someday we can be friends
Even find time to love again
How many times you fooled me
How many times you lied to me woman
There's not much left to say that hasn't been said
I'll be on my way, a long road lies ahead
It's all in the past, so much we've learned
All good things must pass, a lesson well learned

I'm leaving cause I just can't take anymore
Find the person who I was before
How many times you fooled me
How many times you lied to me woman

"I Bowed My Head In Shame"

"I Bowed My Head In Shame"



When I sat down to count my many blessings
And I saw what the Lord had done for me
Then I bowed my head in shame
Because I know so well
That I haven't been as good as I could be

I saw a beggar standin' on the corner
And he looked like a cold and hungry man
With some money in my pocket
I kept walkin' on
And I passed him by when he held out his hand

When I think of all the things that I've done wrong
I have to sit and bow my head in shame
For the Lord has been so good
As he promised us he would
So I wanna praise and glorify his name

I'm gonna try to do my best to thank him
And I'll try to be as good as I can be
Though I bow my head in shame
I wanna praise his name
For the many things the Lord has done for me

When I think of all the things that I've done wrong
I have to sit and bow my head in shame
For the Lord has been so good
As he promised us he would
So I wanna praise and glorify his name

Yes, I'm gonna try and do my best, best to thank him
And I'll try to be as good as I can be
Yeah, though I bow my head in shame
I wanna praise, praise his name
For the many things the Lord has done for me
Aw, for the many things the Lord has done for me
Yes, for the many things the Lord has done for me

"I Can't Help It"

"I Can't Help It"



Today I passed you on the street
And my heart fell at your feet
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
Somebody else stood by your side
And he looked so satisfied
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you

A picture from the past came slowly stealing
As I brushed your arm and walked so close to you
Then suddenly I got that old time feeling
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you

It's hard to know another's lips will kiss you
And hold you just the way I used to do
Oh heaven only knows how much I miss you
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
