Loretta Lynn Album

(Sharon Higgins)

You came from the city streets to my little country town
Your spell is on my baby and you've got me sorrow bound
You don't really love him you're playin' around for fun
Woman of the world leave my world alone.

You're the devil's woman that's what my man don't know
Why I wear more in swimmin' than you wear to parties where you go
There's a place I know where you should go for that's where you belong
Woman of the world leave my world alone.

I don't know about the things the bright lights talk to you
My country boy don't know them any better than I do
I'll have to watch him hurtin' after you are gone
Woman of the world leave my world alone.

You're the devil's woman that's what my man don't know
Why I wear more in swimmin' than you wear to parties where you go
There's a place I know where you should go for that's where you belong
Woman of the world leave my world alone...

So he told you you're the dream that he's been searching for
And he told you that he'd never met anyone like you before
And I can hear him telling you your lips taste just like sherry wine
But did he tell you that he's known as Johnny one time.

So he told you that he'd never lead your heart astray
And he told you that he'd love you forever and a day
And I can hear him telling you that he's the shy and bashful kind
But did he tell you that he's known as Johnny one time.

Did he tell you that your heart will soon become
Another trinket on his bracelets of broken hearts
Did he tell you that the morning sun will find you
Patching up your shattered pride
And searching for the missing parts.

Did he tell you that the special love you're savin'
Will disappear in shame and flames like mine
Did he tell you that he's known as
Johnny one time.

Did he tell you that your heart will soon become
Another trinket on his bracelets of broken hearts
Did he tell you that the morning sun will find you
Patching up your shattered pride
And searching for the missing parts.

Did he tell you that your heart will soon become
Another trinket on his bracelets of broken hearts
Did he tell you that the morning sun will find you
Patching up your shattered pride
And searching for the missing parts...

If you were mine to lose I'd gladly let you go
'Cause that would mean you once belonged to me
I'd gladly face the heartache of losin' you some day
'Cause then at least I'd have a memory.

Through all the years I've known you
You've never noticed me
Just a friend that's all I've been to you
I'd gladly let you break my heart for just one memory.
Just to know that you were mine to lose

If I could only hold you just one time
For one short moment heaven would be mine
If you were mine to lose I'd gladly let you go
Just to know that you were mine to lose.

--- Instrumental ---

If I could only hold you just one time
For one short moment heaven would be mine
If you were mine to lose I'd gladly let you go
Just to know that you were mine to lose...

(Loretta Lynn)

Now, I know that I'll forget you 'Cause I forgot you a while ago
And when I thought of you just now only one tear drip down slow.
My mind is hard and twisted so and it hardly ever sleeks
But the only time I've hurt is when my heart beats.

Since I'm finally gettin' over you I think I'll celebrate
Think of breakin' all your pictures and I might throw one away
And I won't feel this awful pain in about ten million weeks
'Cause the only time I hurt is when my heart beats.

The only time I hurt is when my heart beats
I live in constant mis'ry cause the hurtin' just repeats
I think about you now and then and everytime your mem'ry speaks
But the only time I hurt is when my heart beats.

--- Instrumental ---

The only time I hurt is when my heart beats
I live in constant mis'ry cause the hurtin' just repeats
I think about you now and then and everytime your mem'ry speaks
But the only time I hurt is when my heart beats...

(Fred Rose - Mel Foree)

No one will ever know my heart is breaking
Although a million teardrops start to flow
I'll cry myself to sleep and wake up smiling
I'll miss you but no one will ever know.

I'll tell them we grown tired of each other
And realize our dreams could never be
I'll even make believe I never loved you
Then no one will ever know the truth but me.

--- Instrumental ---

No one will ever know how much I'm pining
Each time the past comes back to haunt me so
No one will ever see the tears I'm hiding
You've hurt me but no one will ever know.

I'll tell them I've found true love with another
That I was glad the day you set me free
I'll even make believe I never loved you
Then no one will ever know the truth but me...

(Give up to the baby that's what they'd always say)
And big sister would let her path away
We shared a sandbox, little sister and me
I was her big sister and she was only three.

Give up to the baby, that's what they'd always say
And big sister would let her path away
All through our childhood and our high school days
My little sister always had to have her way.

Now I can't hurt the baby and I can't let him go
Be brave big sister this time and say no
Now all that I remember as they drove out of sight
Just married and her holdin' the ones I love so tight.

Now all I do is rock my darling, I just can't let her cry
So rock a bye baby, rock a bye
Give up to the baby and I'd lose every time
Now they're saying big sister is losin' her mind...

(Loretta Lynn)

The man I've got loves cleaned home
And he likes to wear the breaches
He don't like doin' women things
Like washin' clothes and dishes.

You'll find he's not that hard to please
If you love him right and fill his needs
To make a man feel like a man
You gotta show him you're a woman.

Show him what you are
You know you can do it
Don't let some other woman
Come along and beat you to it.

Lots of girls might catch his eye
But what is a girl when a woman falls by
To make a man feel like a man
You gotta show him you're a woman.

--- Instrumental ---

When he comes home from a hard day's work
He's probably tired and dirty
Don't let him find this latchy queen
Have your castle lookin' pretty.

There's lots of things that you shouldn't do
Like just as many that you should do too
To make a man feel like a man
You gotta show him you're a woman.

Show him what you are
You know you can do it
Don't let some other woman
Come along and beat you to it.

Lots of girls might catch his eye
But what is a girl when a woman falls by
To make a man feel like a man
You gotta show him you're a woman.

To make a man feel like a man
You gotta show him you're a woman

(Merle Haggard - Bonnie Owens)

Today I started loving you again
I'm right back where I've really always been
I've got over you just long enough to let my heartaches mend
Today I started loving you again.

What a fool I was to think I could get by
With only these few million tears I've cried
I should have known the worst was yet to come
And cryin' time for me had just begun.

So today I started loving you again
I'm right back where I've really always been
I've got over you just long enough to let my heartaches mend
Today I started loving you again.

Yes, today I started loving you again...

(Billy Sherrill - Tammy Wynette)

Sometimes it's hard to be a woman
Giving all your love to just one man
You'll have bad times and he'll have good times
Doing things that you don't understand.

But if you love him you'll forgive him
Even though he's hard to understand
And if you love him all be proud of him
'Cause after all he's just a man.

Stand by your man
Give him two arms to cling to
And something warm to come to
When nights are cold and lonely.

Stand by your man
And tell the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can
Stand by your man.

Stand by your man
And show the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can
Stand by your man. oh yeah...

(Loretta Lynn)

There's a reason I keep living while I'm dyin' slow
Everybody thinks we're happy but we're not
I don't know why but I let him keep me cryin'
So I guess one little reason's all I've got.

When I lay me down to sleep I know I must wake up
And the reason that I do sure means a lot
Someday my reason will grow up and then will break up
For this one little reason's all I've got.

Little handprints on the wall, little footsteps in the hall
And little arms that reach out for me in the night
And when she says I love you so my mommy
I know this one little reason's my whole life.

--- Instrumental ---

Little handprints on the wall, little footsteps in the hall
And little arms that reach out for me in the night
And when she says I love you so my mommy
I know this one little reason's my whole life...

He's nothin' but trouble
But he's always on my mind
I tried all I know to do
To leave trouble behind.
I can hardly live without him
I even miss the fights
I'm lonesome for trouble tonight.

I'm lonesome for trouble tonight
And I ache for troubles arms to hold me tight
Everytime we get together
Seems like nothin' comes out right.
Lord, I'm lonesome for trouble tonight.

--- Instrumental ---

Unhappy when I'm with him
I'm unhappy when I'm not
I've tried so hard to get along
but trouble's all I've got.
It's hard to have somebody
On your mind but out of sight
Yes, I'm lonesome for trouble tonight.

I'm lonesome for trouble
And I ache for troubles arms to hold me tight
Everytime we get together
Seems like nothin' comes out right.
Lord, I'm lonesome for trouble tonight...
