(Vince Gill)

When I told my baby do what you wanna do
Well I had no idea just what she'd put me through
Every night she's runnin' round singin' songs in your hometown
There ain't no one to love me when the sun goes down.

Well she's everybody's sweetheart everybody's sweetheart but mine
I should've kept her barefoot barefoot and pregnant all the time
I used to be the first in line now I've fallen way behind
She's everybody's sweetheart everybody's sweetheart but mine.

All that country club money Lord it sure looked good to me yeah it did
Playing golf with those fat cats how much better could life be
They all think I've got it made they see your face on every page
Of every magazine across the USA.

Well she's everybody's sweetheart everybody's sweetheart but mine
I should've kept her barefoot barefoot and pregnant all the time
I used to be the first in line now I've fallen way behind
She's everybody's sweetheart everybody's sweetheart but mine.

--- Instrumental ---

If you see her tell her hi
And everything will be all right
Tell her that I love her till the day I die.

Well she's everybody's sweetheart everybody's sweetheart but mine
I should've kept her barefoot barefoot and pregnant all the time
I used to be the first in line now I've fallen way behind
She's everybody's sweetheart everybody's sweetheart but mine.

She's everybody's sweetheart everybody's sweetheart but mine...

(Vince Gill)

A little girl was cryin' for her mama and her daddy
She couldn't understand why they were gone
She never knew the danger of talking to a stranger
Now the girl can't find her way back home.

A little boy went walkin' down into the corner market
To buy a loaf of bread and an ince cream cone
He never knew the dnager of talking to a stranger
Now the boy can't find the way back home.

Too many kids are missing is anybody listening
Won't you be the children's eyes they're all alone
The hardest part's not knowing where they are or where they're going
Won't you help the children find the way back home.

The faces on milk cartons thrown away and soon forgotten
What if one of those sweet kids was your very own
Tonight those kids are weeping while yours are safely sleeping
Won't you help the children find the way back home.

Too many kids are missing is anybody listening
Won't you be the children's eyes they're all alone
The hardest part's not knowing where they are or where they're going
Won't you help the children find the way back home.

Won't you help the children find the way back home...

you say you're sorry
you still care
she came by my place again
to cry about you man
you should love her
twice as much
i try to remember you're a friend
but its gettin a little rough

(Chorus)
she's just tired
of bein cinderella
she cant live that way no more
needs a little affection
a little understanding
better be careful
cause the next time she comes through my door
she wont be cinderella no more

A tear drop trembles
on her face
where that smile always was
it seemed out of place
when i held her
like a friend
like a bitter sweet beginning
i could taste the bitter end

(Chorus)
She just tired
of bein cinderella
she needs a little affection a little understanding
you better be careful
cause the next time she comes through my door
you'll be sorry

(Bridge)
cause it seems like its always something with you
and everybody's always wrong
one of these you'll reach for the pillow she sleeps on
shes gonna be gone

(Chorus)
shes just tired
of bein cinderella
she cant live
that way no more
she needs a little affection
a little understanding
you better be careful casue the next time she comes through my door
you'll be sorry
shes just tired
of bein cinderella
she cant live
that way no more
she needs a little affection
a little understanding
you better be careful casue the next time she comes through my door
you'll be sorry

Nothin' to do in this lonely town
Your daddy warned me, "Son, you come around"
Says I ain't good enough for you
He don't know what I'm goin' through.

Chorus:
Let's do something
Sneak out your bedroom window, girl
And we'll be gone
Let's do something (let's do something)
Oh, baby, let's do something
Even if it's wrong.

Go see the preacher 'cross the couty line
For 25 dollars he could make you mine
My heart's on fire, can't you feel it burn
I'm past the point of no return.

Chorus:
Let's do something
Sneak out your bedroom window, girl
And we'll be gone
Let's do something (let's do something)
Oh, baby, let's do something
Even if it's wrong.

I'll make your daddy understand
Oh, Lord, I know I can make him understand
I'll face your daddy man to man
No guts, no glory, girl, I'll take that chance.

--- Instrumental ---

Chorus:
Let's do something
Sneak out your bedroom window, girl
And we'll be gone
Let's do something (let's do something)
Oh, baby, let's do something
Even if it's wrong

Chorus:
Let's do something
Sneak out your bedroom window, girl
And we'll be gone
Let's do something (let's do something)
Oh, baby, let's do something
Even if it's wrong...

(Reed Nielsen - Vince Gill)

There's a long white line stretching out on the road ahead
There ain't one magazine that I ain't read
Haven't seen you in weeks but I hear you on the radio
Singing soft and low.

We're so far apart
This old highway ain't home
When the heartache starts
I just turn the radio on.

There never seems to be time for me and you
That's the price you pay for the life we choose
Tonight's the lonelinest night I've ever known
Just goes on and on.

We're so far apart
This old highway ain't home
When the heartache starts
I just turn the radio on.

--- Instrumental ---

It does my heart good to see you shine
So I'll just keep on countin' these white lines
Haven't seen you in weeks but I hear you on
The radio calling me back home.

We're so far apart
This old highway ain't home
When the heartache starts
I just turn the radio on.

We're so far apart
This old highway ain't home
When the heartache starts
I just turn the radio on...

We're so far apart...

(Guy Clark - Vince Gill)

I know I've said I've changed for you
But I think I've changed my mind
I can't be what you want me to
And we're just wastin' time.

And I'm doing the best I can
Remember I'm just a man
And my best thing good in love
Baby that's tough, baby that's tough.

--- Instrumental ---

I'm doing the best I can
Remember I'm just a man
And my best thing good in love
Baby that's tough, baby that's tough.

Well, I'm doing the best I can
Remember I'm just a man
And my best thing good in love
Baby that's tough, baby that's tough...

(Kye Fleming - Vince Gill)

Stars are falling from your eyes
You don't feel what I feel inside
Your hand is warm but your heart is cold
If you're hurtin' you don't let it show.

How much longer can we go on acting
Like there's nothing wrong
How much farther can we drift apart
Before all the feeling is gone.

I'm losing your love it's slipping away
Minute by minute, day by day
Losing your love, do you think I know
It's a matter of time till you let go.

I see the moon shinin' up above
Reminded me how good it was
There's a chill comin' over me
Why can't it be like it used to be.

I feel so helpless I can't make you stay
No matter how hard I try
I can't deny that look in your eyes
Trying to tell me goodbye.

I'm losing your love it's slipping away
Minute by minute, day by day
Losing your love, do you think I know
It's a matter of time till you let go.

--- Instrumental ---

Losing your love it's slipping away
Minute by minute, day by day
Losing your love, do you think I know
It's a matter of time till you let go.

Don't let go, don't let go, baby don't let go...

. . .


(Paul Anka)

There you go and baby here am I
Oh well, you left me here so I could sit and cry
Will you apologize what have you done to me
Well, I guess it doesn't matter anymore.

Do you remember baby last September
How you held me tight each and every night
You was so dazy how you drove me crazy
But I guess it doesn't matter anymore.

There's no use in me of cryin'
I've done everything and now I'm sick of tryin'
I've thrown away my nights
And wasted all my days over you.

Well, you'll go your way and I'll go mine
Now and forever till the end of time
I'll find somebody new baby we'll say we're through
You won't matter anymore.

--- Instrumental ---

There's no use in me of cryin'
I've done everything and now I'm sick of tryin'
I've thrown away my nights
And wasted all my days over you.

You won't matter anymore.
You won't matter anymore...

the street looks different tonight
something has changed
had this picture in mind
but its just not the same
had this great expectaion
bout a heart thats free
thought that what i wanted
would be waitin for me
baby somethings missin tonight
missin tonight
something aint feelin right
baby somethings wrong
and im so confused
baby somethings missing tonight
something i cant find in the night
finally realized what im missing is you
in this crowd of old friends
why do i feel alone
thought id fall back instead
this is whre i belong
i thought that freedom was
callin from the dark
but now i see i was only free
when you were in my heart
baby somethings missin tonight
something aint feelin right
baby somethings wrong
and im so confused
baby somethings missings tongiht
something i cant find in the night
finally realized what im missing is you
though that freedom was
callin from the dark
now i see i was only free
when you were in my heart
baby somethings missin toght
baby something aint feelin right
baby soethings wrong and im so confused
baby somethings missin inside
something i cant find in the night
i finally realized what im missing is you
baby somethings missin tonight
baby somethings missin tonight
baby something missin in side
baby something missin inside
baby somethings missing tonight
