"Love Has A Mind Of Its Own"

"Love Has A Mind Of Its Own"



Forgetting you, darling, is not my decision
For love has a mind of its own
I'd love to forget every time that you kissed me I'd love to forget that you're gone
And I'd gladly hold back each tear that I'm crying
But love has a mind of its own
Love is a ruler the greatest of kings
Love sets a pie on a throne
Forgetting you, darling, is not my decision
For love has a mind of it's own

I don't want to carry this worrysome heartache
I don't want to cry all night long
I wish I could run from the day that I met you
But love has a mind of its own
Love is a ruler the greatest of kings
Love sets a pie on a throne
Forgetting you, darling, is not my decision
For love has a mind of it's own

"Love's The One And Only Thing"

"Love's The One And Only Thing"



She tries to give up on love every morning
And there's that ceiling and there she is by herself
Wondering if she'll ever find that feeling
Till there's that someone, there'll be no one else

See the woman won't give her heart away to just anyone
Even though the strongest will don't like to wait
A heart'll do just about anything to feel love
And love's the one and only thing her heart really want's to make

A cup of coffee on the dresser, putting on her make up
She looks in the mirror and the mirror has something to say
That loneliness, that needing and that wanting
They're all part of longing, they're your saving grace

Hey woman don't give your heart away to just anyone
Even though the strongest will don't like to wait
A heart'll do just about anything to feel love
And love's the one and only thing her heart really want's to make

She believes, though she hasn't found him yet
The stronger her faith, the closer she get's

So the woman won't give her heart away to just anyone
Even though the strongest will don't like to wait
A heart'll do just about anything to feel love
And love's the one and only thing her heart
And love's the one and only thing her heart really want's to make

"Lovin' Lies"

"Lovin' Lies"


I'll never understand, dear
As long as I live
I guess I will always wonder why
You told me that you loved me
With all of your heart
And then without a warning
Said goodbye
The lovin' lies that I believed
And now how I grieved
You didn't mean it from the start
And you told me lovin' lies
And broke my heart

[steel]

You say I'll soon forget you
And find someone new
But, darlin' now how wrong you are
I only had one love, dear
And that was for you
And from that love my heart
Will bear to start
The lovin' lies that I believed...
So you told me your lovin' lies
And broke my heart

"Loving Her Was Easier (Than Anything I'll Ever Do)"

"Loving Her Was Easier (Than Anything I'll Ever Do)"


I have seen the morning burning golden on the mountain in the skies
Aching with the feeling of the freedom of an eagle when she flies
Turning on the world the way she smiled upon my soul as I lay dyin'
Healing as the colors in the sunshine and the shadows of her eyes
Waking in the morning to the feeling of her fingers on my skin
Wiping out the traces of the people and the places that I've been
Teaching me that yesterday was something that I'd never thought of tryin'
Talking of tomorrow and the money love and time we have to spend
Loving her was easier than anything I'll ever do again

Coming close together with a feeling that I've never known before in my time
She ain't ashamed to be a woman or afraid to be a friend
I don't know the answers to the easy way she opened every door in my mind
But dreaming was as easy as believing it was never gonna end
And loving her was easier than anything I'll ever do again
[piano - harmonica]
Coming close together...
Loving her was easier than anything I'll ever do again

"Make Way For A Better Man"

"Make Way For A Better Man"


Give me talkin' now
You tried to make her happy
You couldn't make her happy
Make way for a better man than you
You tried your brand of lovin'
She couldn't stand your lovin'
Make way for a better man than you
I held back cause you and I were friends
But old buddy this is where our friendship ends
I'm takin' over now those signals she keeps sendin' means your romance is endin'
Make way for a better man than you

[guitar - steel]

Those fancy words you told her
Were not enough to hold her
Make way for a better man than you
I guess you're in your lockout
You came to back and struck out
Make way for a better man than you
I held back cause you and I...
Make way for a better man than you

"Making Believe"

"Making Believe"


I'm making believe that you still love me and it's leaving me alone and so blue
I'll always dream but I'll never own you I'll keep loving you and making believe
I can't hold you close darling when you're not with me
You're somebody's love now and you'll never be mine
I'll always dream but I'll never own you I'll keep loving you and making believe
[steel]
I'm making believe...

"Making Believe"
(with Brandi Carlile)



Making believe that you still love me
It's leaving me alone and so blue
I'll always dream, still I'll never own you
And making believe, its all I can do

I can't hold you close darling when you're not with me
You're somebody's love now and you'll never be mine
Making believe I'll spend my lifetime
Loving you and making believe

Making believe that I never lost you
My happy hours are fun and so few
My plans for the future will never come true
Making believe what else can I do

I can't hold you close darling when you're not with me
You're somebody's love now, you'll never be mine
Making believe that I'll spend my lifetime
Loving you and making believe
Loving you and making believe

"Man With The Blues"

"Man With The Blues"



If you need some advice in being lonely
If you need a little help in feelin' blue
If you need some advice on how to cry all night
Come to me I'm the man with the blues

I'm the man with a hundred thousand heart aches (a good selection all in blue)
And I've got most any color of the blues
So if you need a little shove in foulin' up in love
Come to me I'm the man with the blues

You have a trusting man you can depend on
He tells you youA're the one he dearly loves
Your not content to be his wife you long for the restless life
Come to me I'm the man with the blues

"Mansion On The Hill"

"Mansion On The Hill"



Tonight down here in the valley
I'm lonesome and oh how I feel
As I sit here alone in my cabin
I can see your mansion on the hill
Do you recall when we parted
The story to me you revealed
You said you could live without love, dear
In your loveless mansion on the hill

I've waited all through the years, love
To give you a heart true and real
Cause I know that you're living in sorrow
In your loveless mansion on the hill
The light shines bright from your window
And the trees stand so silent and still
I know you're alone with your pride, dear
In your loveless mansion on the hill
In your loveless mansion on the hill

"Maria (Shut Up And Kiss Me)"

"Maria (Shut Up And Kiss Me)"



That's my favorite part
Rewind my life on
When my world got dark
You turned my light on
I watched it for hours again and again in my head
I did
I see I was down on you more than I needed to be
I'd say I'm sorry but then you'd think I'm lyin'

Maria, shut up and kiss me
Stop shakin', stand up and hold me
I bet you're gonna miss me
You need me, believe me

Maria shut up and kiss me
You're crazy and it turns me on and on
The way you're carryin' on

That's my favorite shirt
You always had on
And it sure looked good
Every time you walked on
You're takin' the wind from me every chance that you could
You're good
Somethin' I can't explain
You tell me lately I've changed
If you feel better, tell me why are you cryin'?

Maria, shut up and kiss me
Stop shakin', stand up and hold me
I bet you're gonna miss me
You need me, believe me

Maria shut up and kiss me
You're crazy and it turns me on and on
The way you're carryin' on

Maria, Maria can we talk it over instead?
Let's call it even and leave it alone
Come to bed

Maria, stop leavin' your teasin' is beaten me down
Maria, just calm down
In these situations I've found
It's best not to be proud
And say that you're sorry

Maria, shut up and kiss me
Stop shakin', stand up and hold me
I bet you're gonna miss me
You need me, believe me

Maria shut up and kiss me
You're crazy and it turns me on and on
The way you're carryin' on

And it turns me on and on
on and on
on and on
And it turns me on and on
on and on
on and on
on and on and on and on
