"It Doesn't Show"

"It Doesn't Show"


You threw out my clothes
The things I own,
And locked the door.

I guess I crossed the line,
Wasted your time,
I had to go.

If you've made other plans I understand,
The fool I am.
It doesn't show,
No, no.

Old friends just pass me by,
They seem to hide,
I'm not alive.

I tried you on the phone,
He says your gone,
Don't call no more.

I've tried everything,
I even sang,
You gave back the ring,
And laughed at me.
But it doesn't show.
No, no. (ooooo)

It doesn't show

"It's All Gone"

"It's All Gone"


Tell what you're thinkin, baby
What's on your mind?
Could it be that what you feel for me
Is getting hard to find?

You say you're falling out of love
Girl I can't believe
That it's all gone
Oh, yeah
You're movin on now

Listen when I tell you, sugar
I'm so in love with you
But the words falling from your lips
Seem to say we're through

All these thoughts that I can't bear
Tell me it's not true
That it's all wrong
Oh, girl
You're movin on now
I'm holdin on
Oh, lord
Don't leave me alone now

I know you've got your needs
But I beg you please
Yeah
Cause when your love comes down
I want it all, I want it all for me
Yeah
How you gonna do it, baby?
Make a blind man see
That it's all gone
Oh, yeah
You're movin on now

Don't take it all away now baby
With nothing in return
Cause if you're trying to teach me something
When am I gonna learn, now?
That it's all gone
Oh, yeah
You're movin on now

Don't break my heart, girl
You are my world
Yeah
You say our love is tumblin down
But that's a sound
I don't wanna hear
Nah
How you gonna do it, baby?
Make a blind man see
That's it's all gone
Oh, yeah
You're movin on, girl
And it won't be long
Oh, lord
Till you're gone, now
It's much too strong
Oh, yeah
Don't leave me alone, girl
I'm holding on
Oh, yeah
Am I so wrong?

"Jealous Love"

"Jealous Love"


Jealous love
Jealous love of mine
Jealous love
Why can't you trust me sometimes?

To be so sweet
And yet so kind
You're killin' my love
With your jealous mind

Jealous love
I want to say it one more time
Ohh, you ought to trust me some time

I take you, baby
Everywhere I go
But your good intentions
They never, ever seem to show

And every time that a pretty girl walks by
I catch you watching me, baby
Out of the corner of your eye

To be so sweet
And yet so kind
You know you're killin' my love, baby
With your jealous mind

Jealous love
I want to say it one more time
Ohhh
You ought to trust me sometime

I'm home from work
Every day on time
You've got your hand in my pocket
For that number you thought you'd find

Jealous love
I want to say it one more time
Ohhh, ohhhh
You ought to trust me, baby

To be so sweet
Ohh, and yet so kind
You know you're killing my love
With your jealous mind

Jealous love
I want to say it one more time
Ohh, ohhh

Ohhhh, trust me
Jealous love
Jealous love, yeah

"Jealous Minds"

"Jealous Minds"


Some people live to ruin a love so fine
They know they'll never have what's yours and mine
I know things won't get any better while we're apart
So stop talking to your friends, and try listening with your heart
They always try to tell you all that they see
Jealous minds will tell you what they think about me
They'll show themselves in time
To be nothing but jealous minds
I took you out to a party, a high-class affair
You were talking to your friends, like I wasn't there
You told them that living with me has really been one big chore
Oh, then maybe I should leave, and you'd appreciate me more
They always try to tell you all that they see
Jealous minds will tell you what they think about me
They'll show themselves in time
To be nothing but jealous minds

Oh, tell your friends when you see them
When you see them again
Tell them about the hard times, how we survived the pain
Then don't waste any more time
Because they're nothing but jealous minds
Jealous minds
Ohhhh, they're nothing but jealous minds
Hey, hey
Jealous minds
Hey, hey
Jealous minds
Always trying to tell you what they think of me
Hey, hey, hey
Jealous minds

"Just A Loser"

"Just A Loser"


Maybe I'm just a loser
Whose will is none too strong
But I don't want to lose her
Even if my choice is wrong
I've been used to all the heartache
The jealousy and pain
So I'm well aware of what it takes
To win her back again.

I played a fool for her smile
I found a groove in her style
I hung on every word that she said but
She was living up inside my head
And I better think this whole thing through
For awhile

I'm not one to gamble
But in love my rules slide
When my heart starts to ramble

I just hang on for the ride
I've sought advice from all of my friends
I've even read a million books
But all those good intentions and
When she gives me that come-on look

I played a fool for her smile
I found a groove in her style
I hung on every word that she said but
She was living up inside my head
And I better think this whole thing through
For awhile

I could go on in misery
But this feeling just won't die
She's healing on delivery
I have to give her one more try
It's really time to figure out
If this love we have is real and
Let's find out what it's all about and
Give the old cards one more deal

I played a fool for her smile
I found a groove in her style
I hung on every word that she said
But she was living up inside my head
And I better think this whole thing through
For awhile

"Just How Low"

"Just How Low"


Why you wanna pull us down and separate
We come with all kinds of customs and colors and features
That's what makes our country great
United, do you know what that means?
Why you wanna go around from town to town
Dousing us with gasoline

One never knows
Just how low
Someone might go

You called out the president, cause you didn't like
His name (Huh!)
You had a fit, said he wasn't legit, made him
Show his birth certificate
You could be a hero, then maybe not
So if you go to war you better make sure
That you never get caught

One never knows
Just how low
Someone might go

How you gonna fix this mess, that you created?
Why you wanna raise up the dead?
If you are not a "10" or you're disabled
You'll just never forget all that he's said

Oh, if you wanna build a wall, build it around
Yourself
Then you can sit up in your tower
And we'll all have a toast to your health

One never knows
Just how low
Someone might go, ooh

One never knows
Just how low
Someone might go

One never knows
Just how low
Someone might go

Ooh

"Labor Of Love"

"Labor Of Love"


I'm spending too much time with her problems,
Worrying about what she might think.
Her hold on my heart, you know it drives me crazy,
And buddy, I'm on the brink.

Thought I'd worked my way through all the heartaches,
Jealously, anger, and pain.
But this feeling I've got, it's so doggonne desperate, man,
I'll have to do it all over again.

I'm awake late at night, an emotional fool,
Making vows to myself that I can't keep.
Another know-it-all, lonesome man of the world,
Who can't stop crying himself to sleep.

If push comes to shove, seems like this labor of love
Is just too much work for me.

I'm awake late at night, an emotional fool,
Making vows to myself that I can't keep.
Another know-it-all, lonesome man of the world,
Who can't stop crying himself to sleep.

If push comes to shove, seems like this labor of love
Is just too much work for me.

I can't stop thinking about her,
It's a sad but natural fact,
She's a devil and a saint and a whole lot more that I ain't.
I want this monkey off of my back.

Now, people bad love's an addiction,
Same as cocaine and cheap whiskey, too.
When you're a prisoner of love, that's all that you think of.
You act confused and you ain't got a clue.

"Laugh Out Loud"

"Laugh Out Loud"


I can look back now at all the years
I paid my dues
Every broken heart, every dead end
All those blues

It don't matter now
The tears I've waded through [?]
I can laugh out loud
I ended up with you

I can laugh out loud
I ended up with you

I can laugh out loud
At all the times I failed the test
Lost someone
And came out second best

I can see now
I had to learn a thing or two
I was practicing then
To get it right for you

Ohh, I can laugh out loud

Life and love
Ain't it a mystery

This road I've struggled down
Has thrown some curves at me

Who would have guessed
The grand-prize would be mine?

This late in the game
This far down the line?

I can look back now at all the years
I paid my dues
Every broken heart, every dead-end
All those blues

It don't matter now
The tears I've waded through

Ohh, I can laugh out loud
I ended up with you

I can laugh out loud
I ended up with you

Ohh, I can laugh out loud
I ended up with you

I can laugh out loud
I ended up with you

"Leave Well Enough Alone"

"Leave Well Enough Alone"


If you lose
It's because you showed your hand

Somebody called your bluff
I guess you didn't understand

I thought you learned your lesson
It's time for you to go home

Cause you don't know how
You don't know how to leave well enough alone

Crowded rooms
That's where you make your stand

Talking loud and jivin'
Trying to take the upper hand

I feel sorry for you, buddy
No one's pickin' up the phone

Cause you don't know how
You don't know how to leave well enough alone

Don't know how to do it, man

On your own
That's where you've always been

Cause you're way too short on patience
Trying to hard to get ahead

You'd think you know by now, man
The game you're playin' has gone cold

Cause you don't know how
You don't know how to leave well enough alone

Hey
Don't know how to do it, man

"Let Me Know"

"Let Me Know"


Hello
Hello my friend
How are you doing, baby today?
It's been a long time
But there's no peace of mind
Since you've been away

I've been learning and searching
All things through
But my heart won't let me
Get used to the blues

Crying, I keep on trying
To get over losing you

If you knew what
I've been through
You would have never left me this way
I try real hard to
Do what I need to do
And I'll let no one or nothing
Get in my way

Please
Tell me it's not so
Tell me that I'm dreamin
That you really didn't go
Oh
Let me know
Let me know
Oh, love
Was it that bad?

If you knew
What I've gone through
You would have never left me this way
I'm trying really hard to do
What I need to do
And I'll let no one or nothing
Get in my way

Please, my darling, my darling
If you're gonna go
Show some consideration and please just let me know
Let me know
Let me know
Oh love, was it that bad?
Oh love, was it that bad?
Oh love
