Loretta Lynn Album

(Loretta Lynn)

Well, if you've been a married woman
And things didn't seem to work out
Divorce is the key to bein' loose and free
So you're gonna be talked about.

Everybody knows that you've loved once
So they think you'll love again
You can't have a male friend
When you're a has been
Of a woman you're rated X.

And if you're rated X you're some kind of goal
Every man might try to make
But I think it's wrong to judge every picture
If a cheap camera makes a mistake.

And when your best friend's husband says to you
You've sure started lookin' good
You should've known he would
And he would if he could and he will if you're rated X.

--- Instrumental ---

Well, nobody knows where you're goin'
But they sure know where you've been
All their thinkin' of is your experience of love
Their minds eat up with sin.

The women all look at you like you're bad
And the men all hope you are
But if you go too far you're gonna wear the scar
Of a woman rated X.

And if you're rated X you're some kind of goal
Every man might try to make
But I think it's wrong to judge every picture
If a cheap camera makes a mistake.

And when your best friend's husband says to you
You've sure started lookin' good
You should've known he would
And he would if he could and he will if you're rated X...

(Wiley J. Smith)

It's not a knowledge everybody knows I love you
We're cheatin' though we wear another's name
Every night I swear tomorrow I'll forget you Lord I can't
So I'll keep hurtin' till the pain outwears the shame.

So I'll be back in your arms again tomorrow
We've led us part a stolen love become a burning flame
Well I'm begging you to go but when I do I know
I'll be hurtin' till the pain outwears the shame.

--- Instrumental ---

Tonight I love you for the last time then I'll say goodbye
But down inside I know it's all in vain
Before I'll leave the hurt's already starting I can't go
I think it's over till the pain outwears the shame.

So I'll be back in your arms again tomorrow
We've led us part a stolen love become a burning flame
Well I'm begging you to go but when I do I know
I'll be hurtin' till the pain outwears the shame...

(Dallas Frazier - Arthur Leo Owens)

Sometimes true love has to choose to do what it don't want to do
And sometimes patience has to give up a hanging on
Darling, I'll be far away and you'll be wishing I had stayed
After Ruby, Madge And Mable send you home.

After Ruby settled down and Madge moved back to her hometown
After Mable says you're a fool, leave me alone
You'll find out how much it hurts and just how much a dream is worth
After Ruby, Madge And Mable send you home.

--- Instrumental ---

You'll find out what lonely mean but you won't find the broken chain
That once bound our love together proud and strong
You start talking to the walls and count every tear that falls
After Ruby, Madge And Mable send you home.

After Ruby settled down and Madge moved back to her hometown
After Mable says you're fool leave me alone
You'll find out how much it hurts and just how much a dream is worth
After Ruby, Madge And Mable send you home...

(Paul Richey - Teresa Beaty)

You're a mem'ry of love
I've been unable to leave behind
All for the hurt that don't ease up
The way I hope it would givin' time.
It slowly been so long
I'm not suprised to find
That you're a legend in my mind

You're a picture of yesterday
And the shadow that hides the sun
Lonely words that still echo
When the echo should be gone.
You're the livin' part of me
The only part it leaves behind
And you're a legend in my mind

If I had the way to close every doors
That you ever open wide
And I walk through with you
I could fuss the world on the back
And carry away
And never come back to you.

I wish that I could close my eyes and see you gone
I'm not blind
I'm not blind
And you're a legend in my mind.

I wish that I could close my eyes and see you gone
I'm not blind
I'm not blind
And you're a legend in my mind...

(Tracey Lee)

The sun comes up and brings the dawn turn to day
The kids run out to play the game like kids all play
To child the world is milk and honey a dime is a lot a can be money
Oh, ain't it funny, now ain't it funny.

Running barefoot through the fields in the rain
Chasin' pretty butterflies in the lane
The world's a mess and they wonder why
Oh, what a pretty blue blue sky
Gee, ain't it funny, now ain't it funny.

The kids all say grown ups are strange and aren't they
They teach their kids not to do as I do but as I say
They cry for peace and then make wars
And wonder what they're fighting for.

Oh, ain't it funny, now ain't it funny?
Oh, gee ain't it funny, now ain't it funny?

(Glenn Ray - Jeremiah Stone)

I make my way through every day just because it's there
I've learned to live without your love but I can't learn not to care
And all the hurt I left for you won't make my wrong turn right
Oh, yesterday will come again tonight.

Little bits and pieces that once made up our home
Come back to visit with my mind each night when I'm alone
Oh, round and round my mem'ries go, they're never out of sight
Oh, yesterday will come again tonight.

Yesterday will come again tonight
Just as soon as I turn out the lights
(Ah think about it baby)
My mama said the seed you sow is surely what you'll reap
Every night I find it's harvest time when I lay me down to sleep.

--- Instrumental ---

Oh, yesterday will come again tonight
Just as soon as I turn out the lights
(Ah think about it baby)
My mama said the seed you sow is surely what you'll reap
Every night I find it's harvest time when I lay me down to sleep...

(Jim Owen - Louis Johnson)

You've been treatin' me like dirt, now
You don't care how I hurt, now
But there's no thing you better try and understand
You gonna come home one of these nights
Find your mama ain't doin' you right.
You got a hanky panky woman on your hand.

Well, I'm tryin' to be good, now
A doin' everything I should, now
But you come home just when you want to mend
Better listen to what I say, now
'Cause a gonna come a day, now
You'll have a hanky panky woman on your hand.

What will you say, now
What will you do, now
You gonna lose your lovin' woman, you better listen man.
You better stop and realize, now
Ain't tellin' no lies, now
You'll have a hanky panky woman on your hand.

--- Instrumental ---

Well, you know you been doin' me wrong, now
Yt ain't a gonna be too long, now
And I try to tell you exactly where you stand
You know what you've been doin'
You headed straight toward ruin
You got a hanky panky woman on your hand.

What will you say, now
What will you do, now
You gonna lose your lovin' woman, you better listen man.
You better stop and realize, now
Ain't tellin' no lies, now
You'll have a hanky panky woman on your hand.

You'll have a hanky panky woman on your hand.
You'll have a hanky panky woman on your hand...

(Wiley J. Smith)

No, he's not a man who brags about
His good look, wealth or fame
Though his reputations talk about
But he don't hide a thing.

He lives the way he wants to live
And that's how he should be
I'm all he's got
But he's got all of me.

Yes, I'm all he's got but he's got all of me
I'll be contented in his loving arms eternaly
For could he give me more than love how richer could I be
I'm all he's got but he's got all of me.

--- Instrumental ---

Yes, we have a lot in common and that's more than others have
Take you preachin' out for something but there's nothing there to brag
His love is all he has to give but he gives it all to me
I'm all he's got but he's got all of me.

Yes I'm all he's got but he's got all of me
I'll be contented in his loving arms eternaly
For could he give me more than love how richer could I be
I'm all he's got but he's got all of me...

(Raymond A. Smith)

He packed his few belongings, left a note and now he's gone
It's hard for me to know he's left me here so all alone
As soon as he's gone far enough and I know he's out of sight
Oh, I'll go all to pieces and I'll cry.

Yes, I need someone to hold me when I cry
Someone who really understand the way I feel inside
When my heart breaks the tears won't stop no matter how I try
And I need someone to hold me when I cry.

I don't know why he left me or what his leavin's for
I guess he didn't need me or love me anymore
He drove me into a world as dark and cold as ice
With no one here to hold me when I cry.

Yes I need someone to hold me when I cry
Someone who really understand the way I feel inside
When my heart breaks the tears won't stop no matter how I try
And I need someone to hold me when I cry...
