Don't play that song for me
It brings back memories of days that I once knew
The days that I spent with you
oh no, don't let it play
It fills my heart with pain
Please stop it right away
I remember just-a what it said
It said: "Darling, I love you"
You know that you lied
"Darling, I love you"
You know that you lied
"darling, I love you"
You know that you lied, you lied,
You lied, lied, lied, lied

Remember on our first date
You kissed me and you walked away
You were only seventeen
I never thought you'd act so mean
But baby you told me you loved me
You told me you cared
you said, "I'll go with you darling almost anywhere
But darling, you know that you lied, lied, lied, lied, lied

Everyone Knew But Me
That Soon You Would Be Callin' It Off And Gone,
Everyone Pitied Me, Had So Much Sympathy
They Didn't Think I'd Be Strong,

Oh I'm Pullin' On
I'm Movin' On
I'm Pullin' On, Pullin' On In

If I Admit To You
What You Lead Me To Believe It Baby
You Wouldn't Be Gone (No)
Turned Your Back On Me
Just As Cold As You Can Be (But)
I Ain't Been Sittin' Here All On My Own (Baby Cause)

I'm Pullin' On (Yeah)
I'm Movin' On (Oh Yes I Am)
Movin' On
I'm Pullin On
I'm Movin On In


So Glad I'm Free
I Found A Man For Me,
Let Me Tell You While You're Movin' On
Instead Of Beggin' You
I Should Have Helped You Pack Your Bags
And Move Along (Oh Cause)

I'm Pullin' On
I'm Movin' On In (Oh)

Higher â€" Movin', Pullin' â€" Harder
Pullin' â€" Higher, Pullin â€" Harder
Pullin' â€" Higher, Movin' - Harder
Pullin' â€" Higher, Movin' â€" Harder
Movin' â€" Higher, Pullin' â€" Harder
Yeah Pullin' Harder â€" Higher â€" Harder â€" Higher
Pullin' â€" Movin' â€" Pullin' Harder

You And Me

[No lyrics]

. . .


Darling you send me. I know you send me
Honest you do [3x]
You thrill me, I know you thrill me
Darling you thrill me
Honest you do
Honest you do
Honest you do

At first I thought it was infatuation
But it lasted so long
Now I find myself wanting
to marry you and take you home

You Send Me [3x]
Honest you do

Whenever I'm with you
Whenever I'm near you
Honest you do
I know when you hold me,
whenever you kiss me

[fade and repeat]

One more time you hurt me
You thought you you had your victory
One more reason For you to worry
Cause you got the best of me
You should never count your chickens
Before you eggs get hatched
I believe it, mm, To my soul
You finally met your match

Tell me now
When this battle is over
Who will wear the crown
When this battle is over
Who will wear the crown

Who it will be
Who it will be

Will it be you
Will it be me

Tell me now – Who will wear the crown yeah yeah
Ever time I kiss ya
I feel I get the upper hand
I want you ooo to surrender
And tell me ya gon' be my man
A slip of the lip has been known to sink a ship
And I believe I believe I believe to my soul
I finally got a winner's slip

When this battle is over, I wonder
Who will wear the crown

When this battle is over
Who will wear the crown

Who it will be
Who it will be

Will it be you
Will it be me

Yeah, Tell me know – Who will wear the crown
When this battle is over
Who be wearin' this crown
When this battle is over
Oh when its over children
When this battle is over
Yeaaah when its over

When my friends told me you had someone new
I didn't believe a single word was true
I showed them all I had a faith in you
I just kept on saying

Oh, no, not my baby
Oh, no, not my sweet baby
You're not like those other guys
Who lead you on and tell you lies

My mama told me when rumors spread
There's truth somewhere and I should use my head
But I didn't listen to what she said
I kept right on saying

Oh, no, not my baby
Oh, no, not my sweet baby
You're not like those other boys
Who play with hearts like they were toys

Well, you might have had a last minute fling
But I am sure it didn't mean a thing
'Cause yesterday you gave me your ring
And I'm so glad that I kept on saying

Oh, no, not my baby
Oh, no, not my sweet baby
You're not like those other guys
Who lead you on and tell you lies

Oh, no, not my baby
Oh, no, not my sweet baby
Oh, no, not my baby
Oh, no, not my sweet baby

. . .


Without a word of warnin' blues
walked in this mornin'
and circled 'round my lonely room.

i didn't know why i had that sad
'n lonely feelin' until my baby called
and said we were through, hooo.

for yesterday this time
i sang a lovesong but today
... i'm singing the blues.

Hmmmm...

strikes me kinda funny how love can be this way
we were lovin' 'til last night honey, yeah.
i'm alone again today

and it strikes me kinda funny
how fate can be unfair
that i come right on the losin' end
in every, every love affair!

yes it must be, it must be meant for me
that i should be the one,
be the one to always lose, hooo.

for yesterday!
yesterday this time i'd sing a love song whoaoohhh!
yeah, but right now - im singin the blues!
who-o-oh ye-he-heah!-- today i sing the blues
