Dottie West Album

When you look at me as if to say you need me
You don't know how close I come to giving in
But I'm trying to be strong and to keep from doing wrong
I wish you'd never come to me again
Cause baby I'm only a woman only a woman
Can't you see my heart's not made of stone
Yes baby I'm only a woman only a woman so please till you're free leave me alone

Don't you know it hurts to know her arms will hold you
Don't you know how much I wish those arms were mine
But darling till you're free please don't reach out from me
Cause I don't want our love to be that kind
Cause baby I'm only a woman only a woman o please till you're free leave me alone

Your love your love your sweet love your love your love your sweet love
If I were a queen and could have everything
My greatest treasure would be your sweet love (your sweet love)
Stars shine bright but stars can't fall this love shines brigheter than them all
Oh how can I bear greatest treasure somewhere
The treasure of your love your sweet love (your sweet love)
Your love your love your sweet love your love your love your sweet love

I tried to love you holding you everything I know to do
Baby I tried I can't love you like I used to
I tried kissing you missing you anything but hurting you
Oh baby I tried just can't love you the way I used to
You know I've been your woman I've given you all of me
I explain how my feelings have changed all I can say is I'm sorry
Yes I believe in you believe in you can find somebody to
To love you and really love you baby I tried

Are you lonesome tonight do you miss me tonight are you sorry we drifted apart
Does your memory stray to a bright summer day
When you kissed me and called me sweetheart
Does the room where we once loved seem empty and bare
Do you gaze at your pillow and picture me there
Is your heart filled with pain could I come back again
Tell me dear are you lonesome tonight
I wonder if you're lonesome tonight
You know someone said the world's a stage and everyone must play a part
Fate had me playing In Love with you as my sweetheart
Act one was where we met you read your lines so well and never missed a cue
Then act two you seemed to change you acted strange and why I never knew
Honey you lied when you said you loved me and I had no cause to doubt you
And I'd rather go on hearing your lies than to go on living without you
So the stage is bare and I'm standing there with emptiness all around
And if you won't come back to me then they can ring the curtains down
Is your heart filled with pain shall I come back again
Tell me dear are you lonesome tonight

Lonely is a rainy day when home is something far away
And someone special's on your mind you'd sure love to see
Lonely is a call to home when no one's there to catch the phone
And nighttime seems to have no dawn and you don't have a friend
Lonely is a feeling that strips your conscience bare
A state of mind you can't explain but still you know it's there
Lonely is a city street that's lost the sound of shuffling feet
And empty thing that touches you and makes you wanna cry
Lonely is a house for two when no one's living there but you
Happiness turned inside out that's what lonely is
Happiness turned inside out that's what lonely is

There's a big wheel there's a big wheel he's a whole lot bigger than you
There's a big wheel there's a big wheel he's a whole lot bigger than me

When you think you've got the world by the tail
And you don't have to worry bout fame
When you think the world can never hold you down do you ever think of his name
There's a big wheel...
[ banjo ]
Tell me friend do you ever stop to think just how you got that worldly fame
Don't you know he's a watching over you anytime he can blood out your name
There's a big wheel...

If you think that you're a big big shot and everything you do is a whiz
Just remember brother that everything you've got is not your remember it's his
There's a big wheel...
There's a big wheel...

[No lyrics]

Together again my tears have stopped falling
The long lonely nights are now at an end
The key to my heart you hold in your hand
And nothing else matters now we're together again
Together again the grey skies're gone
And you're back in my arms right where you belong
All the love that I knew is living again
And nothing else matters now we're together again
No nothing else matters now we're together again

[No lyrics]

I feel the hunger you feel in your touch burning my body and soul
And it's frightening just wanting somebody so much so close to losing control
But darling don't make me surrender too soon I'm so afraid of the fall
Please give it time to be tender and pretend it won't hurt at all

Slowly be gentle each step of the way I've never been loved before
Let me believe that you won't turn away after you've opened the door
But darling don't make me...
Please give it time to be tender and pretend it won't hurt at all
