Dottie West Album

Slowly I'm falling more in love with you
And slowly you're winning a heart that can be true
Now I can't hide my feelings no matter what I do
Slowly I'm falling more in love with you
More and more I need you and want you by my side
More and more I love you as each day passes by
No I can't hide my feelings no matter what I do
Slowly I'm falling more in love with you slowly I'm falling more in love with you

We got married in a fever hotter than a pepper sprout
We've been talking bout Jackson ever since the fire went out
I'm goin' to Jackson (you just think you're one) I'm gonna mess around
Headed to Jackson look out Jackson town
Well you go on down to Jackson go ahead and wreck your health
Play your hand like a lovin' man make a big fool of yourself
Honey you just go on to Jackson well you go comb your hair
I'm gonna snowball Jackson oh see if I care
Hmm I breeze into that city all them people gonna stoop and bow
And them Jackson women gonna make me teach 'em what they don't know now
I'm goin' to Jackson get your brother hands off of my coat
I'm headed to Jackson goodbye that's all she wrote
When they laugh at you in Jackson I'll be dancin' on the pony keg
When I'll lead you round town like a scalded hound
With your tail tucked between your legs
Go on to Jackson you big tall Texas man
I'll be waitin' right there in Jackson behind my Japan fan
We got married in a fever hotter than a pepper sprout
We've been talking bout Jackson ever since the fire went out
We're goin' to Jackson and that's a fact
Yeah goin' to Jackson ain't never comin' back

Don't look so sad we know it's over
Life goes on and this old world will keep on turning
Let's just be glad we had some time to spend together
There's no need to watch the bridges that were burning
Lay your head upon my pillow hold your warm and tender body close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops falling softly against the window
And make believe you love me one more time for the good times
I'll get along you'll find another and I'll be here if you should find you ever need me
Don't say a word about tomorrow or forever
There'll be time enough for sadness when you leave me
Lay your head upon my pillow hold your warm and tender body close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops blowing softly against the window
And make believe you love me just one more time for the good times
And there were some good time for the good times

I bless the day I found you I want to stay around you and so I beg you let it be me
Don't take this heaven from one if you must cling to someone
Now and forever let it be me
Each time we meet love I find complete love
Without your sweet sweet love what would life be
So never leave me lonely tell me you love me only and that you'll always let it be me
Now and forever let it be me

May the fruit of my toil be yours love may the food from my soil be yours love
And from this moment on may a love that is strong and lives on and on be yours love
May the sons that I raise be yours love may the comforts I praise be yours love
If I ever get weak may the love words I speak and the arms that I seek be yours love
May the Lord's shining grace be yours love may the happiest face be yours love
May the last fingertips that touch these two lips as life from me slips be yours love
And from this moment on may this love that is strong
And lives on and on be yours love

I slipped out of the house about sundown while mama was a washin' her hair
And you can bet your bottom dollar she'll come lookin' for me
When she'll find that I'm not there
And if she catches her sweet thang slipping around
I know there'll be the debit to pay
Cause she'll come blowin' like a cyclone right through that door
And I hear exactly what she'll say
Well has anybody here see sweet thang I got a notion he'd be headed this way
Cause when my sweet thang's out tomocattin' around
Finds a sandbox like this to play
I wanna warn all you barroom roses if my sweet thang should have a bite
You'd better take my advice if you'll blink more than twice
You'd better have somethin' in your eyes
I gave my baby all my money on payday except a little she don't know that I got
Cause there's a little cute waitress down at the corner cafe
And she seems to like me quite a lot
We were sittin' in the back booth just a havin' a chair
And she believed in every word that I said
When that door blew open and mama walked in yellin' loud enough to wake the dead
And she said
Well has anybody here see sweet thang...

Put it off until tomorrow oh oh you've hurt me enough today
You say our love is over that you have found another
And you say you're going away
Leave me tomorrow oh oh you've hurt me enough today
I've hurt me enough today you can't believe a word that I say
But you must accept the fact I won't be coming back
Oh but stay stay just one more day loneliness isn't far away
Put it off until tomorrow oh oh you've hurt me enough today
Put it off until tomorrow oh oh you've hurt me enough today

Don't get no attention from the people on the street
They don't even notice us they just step right on our feet
Just two unnoticed people in this great big world are we
And when I think about it yes that's all we'll ever be
But I got you and you got me and if they look they can see that we don't care
I got you and you got me baby that's all we will ever need

Looking through the window of a fancy diamond store
Going window shopping for the things we can't afford
People all around us with their noses in the air
They walk right on by us just like we were't even there
But I got you and you got me...
Yeah I got you and you got me...

[No lyrics]

Monday morning and I best be on my way got a feeling it will be a busy day
Doing something I'm not looking forward to wish I didn't have to miss you
Broke the clock because I wound it up too tight
Lucky me I didn't sleep a wink last night
So I was up on time to do what I must do wish I didn't have to miss you miss you
Wonder whose glasses that I'm seeing through
Cause I'm seeing everything but you everything but you
Now it's Saturday and I may go for a hike
Cause when it's Sunday it'll be Sunday day and night
Red is red black is black and blue is blue wish I didn't have to miss you miss you
[ guitar ]
Wonder whose glasses...
Wish I didn't have to miss you miss you
