"The Things That Matter Most To Me"

"The Things That Matter Most To Me"


Yes there are many precious mem'ries that I'd like to recall
And there are some things that I would surely like to forget
I've been up Lord I've been down and sometimes just in between
But you know something neighbors I haven't reached to my highest mountain yet
Yes I know Gods bless me time and time and time and time again
And these blessings for exceeding my deepest woe
I've had the help of loved ones and many friends who stood by me
And without their favor I would have given up a long long time ago
I remember my boyhood days back in Faraday Louisiana
The long hot summer and that cool Louisiana rain
You know sometimes I wish I could go back and relive yesterday
Oh Lord and for a while be mama's little boy again
You know folks the things that matter most in this old world money just can't buy
Sweet love precious mem'ries that will live on and on and on
And I remember Lord when I stumble sometimes fall I wonder why
Then I'll then I'll never never never walk alone
Yes these are the things that matter most to me
Precious mem'ries from your friend Jerry Lee

"Think"

"Think"


If I give up the friends I know
And in return
You give up yours
Before we think
What would we do later on?
What kind of life would we have
Just in case we both were wrong

I would give up my woman
You would give up your man
But it don't make sense to
Take the chance
Before we think
What would we do later on?
What kind of life would we have
Just in case we both are wrong?

They say love is a gamble
You know it's true
Why gamble on me?
And why should I on you?
Before we think
What would we do later on?
What kind of life would we have
Just in case we both are wrong?

Think about it
Think about it
Think about it
Think about it
Think about it baby
Before you make a move
Think about it baby
You might wanna stay in your room
Before you wanna make a move with me baby
Think about it
Don't make any sudden moves
There's a lot to think about
IF you go with me
You might not even have a pot
Think about it
Think about it

"This Ain't Tennessee And She Ain't You"

"This Ain't Tennessee And She Ain't You"


It's a big estate
With wrought iron gates
And palm trees standin' tall
Fancy mirrors and chandeliers
Comfort wall to wall
And the ocean air is so crisp and clear
And they rave about our view
But there ain't no mountain breeze

And there ain't no hickory trees
And this ain't tennessee
And she ain't you

There's a bedroom suite
Where she comes to me
And as her fingers touch my face
I close my eyes and i fantasize
Of another time and place

What she feels is so warm and real
And i know her love is true
And she tries so hard to please
Still i think sometimes she sees

That this ain't tennessee
And she ain't you
It's not that it's not good enough
And it's not that i'm not man enough

There's just somethin' easy goin' that i love
About you and tennessee
So i made up my mind to learn my lines
And try to play the part

But part of me is in tennessee
And deep down in my heart
I miss my smoky mountain home
And i miss your lovin' too

And it's deep inside of me
And it's always gonna be
Cause this ain't tennessee
And she ain't you

"This And That"

"This And That"


I tried to do a little bit of big time moving
I played the clubs and stayed out late at night
I tried to lose the memory of a lover
When someone said, 'Two wrongs don't make a right'

Well, I had too much of this and that
And this and that is no good
I said I had too much of this and that
And this and that is no good

I tried so hard to really get to understand you
You took advantage of me from the start, oh baby
But now it seems that you have found another
And just like me you're gonna end with a broken heart

Oh no, listen to me
'Cos I had too much of this and that
And this and that is no good
I said I had too much baby, of this and that
And this and that is no good

Call me if you're all alone and blue
Say you love me and I'll come running to you
And I will, you know I will do anything for you, oh

'Cos I had too much of this and that
And this and that is no good
Listen baby, I had too much honey, of this and that
And this and that is no good, no good

One time
I had too much of this and that
And this and that is no good, no good, no good
I said I had too much baby, of this and that

"This House (The House Song)"

"This House (The House Song)"


This house goes on sale ev'ry Wednesday morning
And taken off the market in the afternoon.
You can buy a piece of it if you want to
It's been good to me if it's been good for you.

Take the grand look now the fire is burning
Is that your reflection on the wall?
I can show you this room and some others
If you came to see the house at all.

Careful up the stairs, a few are missing
I haven't had the time to make repairs
First step is the hardest one to master
Last one I'm not really sure is there.

This room here once had childish laughter
And I come back to hear it now and again
I can't say that I'm certain what you're after
But in this room, a part of you will remain.

Second floor, the lady sleeps in waiting
Past the lantern, tiptoe in its glance
In the room the soft brown arms of shadow
This room the hardest one to pass.

How much will you pay to live in the attic?
The shavings off your mind are the only rent
I left some would there if you thought you couldn't
Or if the shouldn't that you've bought has been spent.

This house goes on sale ev'ry Wednesday morning
And taken off the market in the afternoon.
You can buy a piece of it if you want to
It's been good for me if it's been good for you.

"Til I Can't Take It Anymore"

"Til I Can't Take It Anymore"


Let's not fight it anymore unpack the bags and close the door
I'll never leave you
Though you lied right from the start I can't convince my foolish heart
Not to believe you.

You've got other loves strung out and there's not the slightest doubt
That other loves have loved you before
But you do your things so well I'll dream of heaven and live in hell
Till I can't take it anymore.

If I had one ounce of pride I'd stand up or step aside
But I still love you
So I'll accept the crumbs you drop cause I'm a fool and I can't stop
Or rise above you.

While you're making up your mind I'll be praying all the time
Praying that you won't be letting me go
Yes you do your thing so well I'll dream of heaven and live in hell
Till I can't take it anymore.

While you're making up your mind I'll be praying all the time
Praying that you won't be letting me go
Yes you do your thing so well I'll dream of heaven and live in hell
Till I can't take it anymore...

"Tired Of Being Alone"

"Tired Of Being Alone"


I'm so tired of being alone
I'm so tired of on-my-own
Won't you help me girl
Just as soon as you can

People say that I've found a way
To make you say that you love me
Hey baby, you didn't go for that
It's a natural fact
That I wanna come back
Show me where it's at, baby

I'm so tired of being alone
I'm so tired of on-my-own
Won't you help me girl
Soon as you can

I guess you know that I, uh, I love you so
Even though you don't want me no more
Hey hey hey hey, I'm cryin' tears
All through the years
I'll tell ya like it is
Honey, love me if you will

Yeah baby
Tired of being alone here by myself, now
I tell ya, I'm tired baby
I'm tired of being all wrapped up late at night
In my dreams, nobody but you, baby
Sometimes I wonder
If you love me like you say you do
You see baby, I been thinkin' about it, yeah
I been, I been wantin' to get next to you baby
Ya see, sometimes I hold my arms, I say mmmm hmmm hmmm
Yeah baby
Meeting you has proven to be
To be my greatest dream, yeah

Tired, baby
Yeah, you don't know what I'm talkin' about
Sometimes late at night I get to wonderin' about you baby
Oh baby, baby
I'm so tired of being alone
I'm so tired of being alone
I'm so tired of being alone...

"To Love Somebody"

"To Love Somebody"


There's a light , a certain kind of light that never shone on me
I want my life to lived with you, lived with you
There's a way everybody say to do each and every little thing
But what does it bring if I ain't got you,ain't got? baby

You don't know what it's like, baby
You don't know what it's like
To love somebody, to love somebody
The way I love you

In my parade, I see your face again, I know my frame of mind
You ain't got to be so blind and I'm blind, so , so,so very blind
I'm a man, can't you see what I am? I live and breathe for you
But what good does it do if I ain't got you, ain't got? Baby

You don't know what it's like, baby
You don't know what it's like
To love somebody, to love somebody
The way I love you

You don't know what it's like
You don't know what it's like
You don't know what it's like
To love somebody, to love somebody

"Today I Started Loving You Again"

"Today I Started Loving You Again"


Today I Started Loving You Again
I'm right back where I've really always been;
I got over you just long enough to let my heartache mend,
then Today I Started Loving You Again.

What a fool I was to think I could get by
With only these few million tears I've cried.
I should have known the worst was yet to come.
And that crying time for me had just begun.

'Cause Today I Started Loving You Again,
I'm right back where I've really always been;
I got over you just long enough to let my heartache mend,
then Today I Started Loving You Again.
