"Looking For Love"

"Looking For Love"


Alright, mm, mm
Always been the things you wanted
Even though I try to tell you
You never seem to see my point of view
Now it’s time to say goodbye
See the things that I’ve been missing
I hope I find what I’ve been searching for.
[CHORUS:]
Looking for love, looking for love,
Looking for love, looking for love,
Looking for love, looking for love,
Looking for love, looking for love.
Friday night and I’m off and running
Had enough of this so called loving
Heartache’s all you ever get from me
Heading down this two lane highway
I don’t know if you’ll ever find me
Time to look for love, where can it be? yer
[CHORUS]
Play it boys. woo
Now it’s time to say goodbye
See the things that I’ve been missing
I hope I find what I’ve been searching for.
[CHORUS]
Looking for love, looking for love.
Well I’m looking for love, looking for love.
Looking for love, looking for love. woo
Well I’m a looking for love, looking for love.
Just looking for love, looking for love.
Looking for love, looking for love,
Looking for love, looking for love,
Yes I’m a looking for love, o yer, looking for love,
Looking for love, o yer, looking for love,
Looking for love, looking for love, [fading]

"Lots Of Matchbooks"

"Lots Of Matchbooks"


Lots of matchbooks, lots of napkins
Lots of numbers, lots of names.
But they're worthless scraps of paper
Since I've known you my life has changed.
I have been a rambler
A midnight mover
Love them and leave them
Was the game I played.
But then I met you
Didn't even touch you.
Somehow you touched me
In a special way.
A man needs someone he can depend on
Someone to help him make a happy home
Those faceless ladies are fun to play with
But try to love one, she's up and gone.
Lots of matchbooks, lots of napkins
Lots of numbers, lots of names
But they're worthless scraps of paper
Now I love you and I'm not the same

"Louisiana Red Dirt Highway"

"Louisiana Red Dirt Highway"


Pulled out the driveway past an old tar paper shack
Standing at her mail box an old woman waves as I look back
I'm gonna miss my family and I'll need all the letters that they'll send
It's gonna be a long time before I travel down this red dirt road again
Louisiana red dirt highway I've been down a million times
With the tin barns and the pine trees I'm gonna take'em with me in my mind
I'm gonna take 'em to the city where a man can make good money so they say
I'm already pretty lonesome and my tires ain't even slung off all the clay
The mud drips would make their own design and they'd zig zag for miles
And the one lane bridge that runs across the creek that I swam in as a child
The sawmill was thirty miles away and my daddy brought it wood
Mama done the cookin' and the cleanin' and taught us what was good
Louisiana red dirt highway I've been down a million times
With the tin barns and the pine trees I'm gonna take'em with me in my mind
I'm gonna take 'em to the city where a man can make good money so they say
I'm already pretty lonesome and my tires ain't even slung off all the clay
Louisiana red dirt highway I've been down a million times
With the tin barns and the pine trees I'm gonna take'em with me in my mind
I'm gonna take 'em to the city where a man can make good money so they say
I'm already pretty lonesome and my tires ain't even slung off all the clay
Hey hey
I'm already pretty lonesome and my tires ain't even slung off all the clay

"Love Has A Mind Of Its Own"

"Love Has A Mind Of Its Own"


Why the long face, why the tears
Why the suitcase after all these years
Can't we talk about it, is it something that I said
Maybe if I held you, if you'd just come back to bed
Packing up to leave me, you say you've found
Loving on a fault line is shaky ground
Frightened by the shadow of the loving life we've known
Now you think you might be better off alone
Love has a mind of it's own and it changes every day
Love has a mind of it's own you know they used to say
Things have a way of looking different by day
And then at night when we're all alone
Oh it's crazy and blind but love has a mind of it's own
You've found the heartache, you've lost your smile
That's what happens when you put your love on trial
Let me make it better, I can do it if you stay
Bet you that by morning we can love your hurt away
You think you've found a problem that can't be faced
Love's a pencil promise that time has erased
Call I didn't answer you were hurt when I should have known
Now you think you might be better off alone
Love has a mind of it's own, it'll bring it back to me
Love has a mind of it's own, we've got a future you see
Love on the rise isn't always our size, it'll fit when love is full grown
Oh it's crazy and blind but love has a mind of it's own
Love has a mind of it's own and it changes every day
Love has a mind of it's own, you know they used to say
Love has a mind of it's own. it'll bring you back to me
Love has a mind of it's own, we've got a future you see
Love has a mind of it's own and it changes every day
Love has a mind of it's own, you know they used to say

"Love Is Everywhere"

"Love Is Everywhere"


I used to be so lonely - I used to be so blue
There was a time I thought I'd never see love shinin' through
I could not find a spark of hope - there was darkness in the air
Then I found someone now the clouds are gone and I see love everywhere.
And I said,"Oh me - oh my - mercy mercy - love is everywhere"
Yeah, I said, "ooh wee" then I sighed, -- "Land o'goshen
Love is everywhere"
There was a woman that I heard of - they say every night she cried
About a love that long ago had withered up and died
And then one night she was observed by the full light of the moon
With a swing in her hips and a song on her lips and a man
Up in her room
And she said, "Oh me, oh my - mercy mercy - love is everywhere"
Yeah she said, "Ooh, wee" then she sighed, -- "land o'goshen
Love is everywhere"
There was a man that lived next to me and I swear that his heart was hard
There wasn't no sunshine on his back porch and no flowers in his yard
He claimed that he'd looked high and low but love could not be found
But it didn't take much - just a woman's touch to turn his world around.
And he said, "oh me - oh my - mercy mercy - love is everywhere"
Yeah he said, "Ooh wee" then he signed, -- "land o'goshen
Love is everywhere"

"Love Song"

"Love Song"


Tell you why I called on you
This is what we're gonna do.
Take this lovely gift of love
Sent to us from Heaven above.

I said baby, I think that we can help each other to see, oh yeah
We've made this life that we're living
seem more like it's supposed to be.

Well every man should have a good woman,
Every woman should have a good man
Won't you stand along beside me
Let me do the best I can,
Take each other's heart in hand.

I want to sing just a little love song
I want to sing to you for a little while
Back up and toe the line for you
I want to be your all in all.

I want to sing just a little love song
I want to sing to you for a little while
Back up and toe the line for you
I want to be your all in all.

Bless you baby, I love you so
Love from whom all blessings flow
Me to you and you to me
This is how it's gonna be.

I said baby we're gonna know the joy
The years can bring oh yes we will
And every time I think about it
I just want to lift my heart and sing, one more time.

Oh every man should have a good woman,
Every woman should have a good man
Won't you stand along beside me
Let me do the best I can,
Take each other's heart in hand.

I want to sing just a little love song
I want to sing to you for a little while
Back up and toe the line for you
I want to be your all in all.

I want to sing just a little love song
I want to sing to you for a little while
Back up and toe the line for you
I want to be your all in all.

I want to sing just a little love song
I want to sing to you for a little while
Back up and toe the line for you
I want to be your all in all.

I want to sing just a little love song
I want to sing to you for a little while
Back up and toe the line for you
I want to be your all in all.
In all, in all, in all.

"Love Takes Two"

"Love Takes Two"


Love takes too much time
Love is too hard to find
And I've heard that it's blind anyway.
Love is too involved - too easily dissolved
And 'I do' is just too hard to say.

You want diamond rings and forever things
Seems like all that means so much to you.
Take my advice you had better think twice
Baby your just one and love takes two.

Love takes too much trust
It is all the way or bust
You can't let it rust or run away
Two people caring, two people sharing
All their hopes and dreams that they have ever made.

Let's make one thing clear you won't ever hear
That old 'I love you dear' but if you do
You'll know that I am for real - that's exactly how I feel
'Cause I'm one of those that love takes two, yes it do
I'm one of those that love takes two.

"Love This Cat"

"Love This Cat"


A oump yer, a oump yer yer, a oump yer, aaaah
A oump yer, a oump yer yer, a oump yer, aaaah

[CHORUS:]
Yer, you got me itching babe
I’m scratching like a hound
Wagging your tail honey, all over town.
You tell me, roll over Rover
But I can’t go for that
Don’t you treat me like a dog, baby
Love this cat.

A oump yer, a oump yer yer, a oump yer, aaaah
Well each time I try to catch you babe
You turn on me.
You’ve got me howling at the moon
And barking up the wrong tree.
Why don’t you be my little kitten?
Curl up on my lap.
Don’t you treat me like a dog, baby
Love this cat.

Don’t you treat me like a dog
Waiting for his bone.
Don’t you put me on a lead
Then lead me on
You got me sitting all day,
I can’t get enough.
Well I’m a fool tomcat
This ain’t no puppy love.

Everybody knows that you’re a pedigree
They a come running when you whistle, baby
But not me.
No I won’t be your little munter
I wont run with that cat
Don’t you treat me like a dog, baby
Love this cat.

[CHORUS:]

Don’t you treat me like a dog, baby
Love this cat.

"Love Without Mercy"

"Love Without Mercy"


Woke up this morning and I knew I’d be late
Somehow it came as no surprise.
I saw the way she was looking at me
I saw no mercy in her eyes.
She gives me love without mercy
Her arms don’t wanna let go
Love without mercy
Am I complaining? Mercy no.
I have no trouble sleeping at night
When I’ve got a problem on my mind
She gives me something precious and sweet
It solves that problem every time.
She gives me love without mercy
Her arms don’t wanna let go
Love without mercy
Am I complaining? Mercy no.
When I feel like this world wants no part of me
She knows I need love and not sympathy
Love without mercy
Her heart don’t wanna let go
Love without mercy
Am I complaining? Mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy,
Love without mercy
Her arms don’t wanna let go
Love without mercy.
Am I complaining? Mercy no.
I say, am I complaining? Mercy no.

"Loves Me Like A Rock"


When I was a little boy

(When I was just a boy)
Say now who do

(Grown to be a man)
Such an impurity
Oh my mama loves me, she loves me
