Well, you thought I'd be waitin' up
When you came home last night
You'd been out with all the boys
And you ended up half tight.

But liquor and love that just don't mix
Leave a bottle or me behind
And don't come home a drinkin'
With lovin' on your mind.

No, don't come home a drinkin'
With lovin' on your mind
Just stay out there on the town
And see what you can find.

'Cause if you want that kind of love
Well, you don't need none of mine
So don't come home a drinkin'
With lovin' on your mind.

--- Instrumental ---

You never take me anywhere
Because you're always gone
Many a night I've laid awake
And cried dear, all alone.

And you come in a kissin' on me
It happens every time
No, don't come home a drinkin'
With lovin' on your mind

No, don't come home a drinkin'
With lovin' on your mind
Just stay out there on the town
And see what you can find.

'Cause if you want that kind of love
Well, you don't need none of mine
So don't come home a drinkin'
With lovin' on your mind.

No don't come home a drinkin'
With lovin' on your mind...

. . .


How many arms have held you
And hated to let you go
How many, how many, I wonder
No, I really don't want to know.

How many lips have kissed you
And set your heart aglow
How many, how many I wonder
But I really don't want to know.

So always make me wonder
Always make me guess
And even if I ask you
Oh darling, don't confess.

Just let it remain your secret
'Cause darling, I love you so
No wonder, no wonder I wonder
No, I really don't want to know.

No, I really don't want to know...

. . .


Now you tell me that you love me
Yes, you tell me that you care
That tomorrow we'll be married
But tomorrow is never there.

No tomorrow never comes
No tomorrow never comes
Now you tell me that you love me
But tomorrow never comes.

--- Instrumental ---

Many weeks now I have waited
Many long nights I have cried
Just to see that happy morning
When I'd have you by my side.

But tomorrow never comes
No tomorrow never comes
Now you tell me that you love me
But tomorrow never comes...

. . .


I hear footsteps slowly walking
As they gently walk across a lonely floor
And a voice is softly saying darling
This will be goodbye forever more.

There goes my reason for living
There goes the one of my dreams
There goes my only possesion
There goes my everything.

As my memory turns back the pages
I can see the happy years we had before
And the love that kept this old heart beating
Has been shattered by the closing of a door.

There goes my reason for living
There goes the one of my dreams
There goes my only possesion
There goes my everything...

. . .


How long did you think you could go on hurtin' me
And I'd be your fool and wait at home alone
Well, you go out and have your fun like you are free
Tonight I'll have some pleasures of my own.

'Cause a shoe goes on the other foot tonight
We'll find out if two wrongs can make a right
Tonight I'll push my heartaches out of sight
'Cause a shoe goes on the other foot tonight.

--- Instrumental ---

Each time you walk out the door you walk on me
And you leave the door wide open for the blues
You fly away from me like you are free
You must think there's wings upon your shoes.

But a shoe goes on the other foot tonight
We'll find out if two wrongs can make a right
Tonight I'll push my heartaches out of sight
'Cause a shoe goes on the other foot tonight.

Yes, a shoe goes on the other foot tonight...

. . .


You put a halo and wings around me
Now you say that I have gone bad
But while you were busy with business and booze
I lost the wings and the halo I had.

You say I went from a saint to a sinner
But you can't blame me for it all
You were the teacher, I was just a beginner
You don't know how it hurt me to fall.

--- Instrumental ---

You didn't think that your angel could wander
But I'm just like you, flesh and blood
While you had your drinkin' your buddies and business
I guess I had too much time all alone.

You say I went from a saint to a sinner
But you can't blame me for it all
You were the teacher, I was just a beginner
You don't know how it hurt me to fall...

. . .


Well, you think you're the hardest thing a goin'
The way things come to you you think you're in
But one of these days that wind's a gonna start blowin'
You may not lose the big boy you won't win.

'Cause the devil gets his dues and you'll start payin'
When he collects you know you'll pay your debt
The devil gets his dues like I been sayin'
You hurt just like you've hurt me you can bet.

--- Instrumental ---

When it comes to love you wear the devil's menu
And you bribe a lot that you just can't be hurt
You're not the only one who knows the trick or two
Some day I might rub your face in the dirt.

Well, your little play house is sittin' on sticks of dynamite
And I get mad tonight and light the fuze
If you come in and find out that my dog bites
You'll know the devil's here collectin' dues.

'Cause the devil gets his dues and you'll start payin'
When he collects you know you'll pay your debt
The devil gets his dues like I been sayin'
You hurt just like you've hurt me you can bet...

. . .


By your side each minute's where I wanna be
Can't get you off my mind and let it rest in peace
So every step you make I wanna make it too
Oh, I can't keep away from you.

Well, I don't care where you are as long as you're with me
You're every dream I dream you're every breath I breathe
My shadow follows you, loves everything you do
Why I can't keep away from you.

Oh, I can't keep away from you I couldn't if I wanted to
No matter how hard I try or what I do
You've got my heart and soul that's why I need you so
You're holding on to me I know I can't let go.

But all that I go through to prove my love is true
Oh, I can't keep away from you.

--- Instrumental ---

Baby, I can't keep away from you I couldn't if I wanted to
No matter how hard I try or what I do
You've got my heart and soul that's why I need you so
You're holding on to me I know I can't let go.

But all that I go through to prove my love is true
Oh, I can't keep away from you...

. . .

I'm Living in Two Worlds

[No lyrics]

. . .


A pretty boy Charlie's the name
That you've been a given
And you act like
The whole wide world all you were livin'.

You tell me you can get any girl you know
You say you got what it takes
To me you're just a heartache
So get what'cha got and go.

You think you're
The greatest thing in this whole town
Oh, number one but everyone
No one can put you down.

Every night you go downtown
Where the go-go's go
Oh well, you think you're so hot
And you tell me you're not
So get what'cha got and go.

--- Instrumental ---

You better wash that sneaky smile
Right off of your face
For I just might knock it off
And put it in your place.

Just like the wild, wild wind
All you do is blow
Just say I'm holdin' you back
But baby, I'll have to pack
So get what'cha got and go.

You think you're
The greatest thing in this whole town
Oh, number one but everyone
No one can put you down.

Every night you go downtown
Where the go-go's go
Oh well, you think you're so hot
And you tell me you're not
So get what'cha got and go...

. . .


You say tomorrow you're going
It's so hard for me to believe
I'm making plans for the heartaches
'Cause you're making plans to leave.

The tears for me will be falling
Like a tree that shedding its leaves
I'm making plans for the teardrops
'Cause you're making plans to leave.

You're making plans to forget me
I'm making plans to miss you, I'm getting ready to grieve
I'm making plans to be lonesome
'Cause you're making plans to leave.

--- Instrumental ---

Yes, you're making plans to leave...

. . .


You're standin' there a sayin' I'm no good
And I'm so ashamed I'd die if I could
But you're no better than I am
Or have you given this one thought
The only thing that's different, I got caught.

Over night you left me all alone
And the only arms close to me was my own
And now you're blame on me but it's not all my fault
The only thing that's different, I got caught.

Yeah, I got caught, but honey, you're a pro
There's not a thing about cheatin' you don't know
That same old line you sell is the same old line I bought
The thing you've got away with I got caught.

--- Instrumental ---

Yeah, I got caught, but honey, you're a pro
There's not a thing about cheatin' you don't know
That same old line you sell is the same old line I bought
The thing you've got away with, I got caught.

Yeah, the thing you've got away with, I got caught...
