Crime Of The Century
I was into bein' out on my own
I could take love or leave it alone
That's how you get when you're hurt to the bone
One too many times
I had this heart of mine locked away
I kept my guard up night an' day
I had enough of the games they play
Out there on the line...
Chorus:
It was the crime of the century
You played Robin Hood an' rescued me
Ali Baba an' the Forty Thieves
Ain't got nothin' on you
You came like Jesse James
You stole my heart like you were robbin' trains
I'm gonna lock you up for life with me
It was the crime of the century
You stacked the deck, you didn't gamble at all
You knew exactly how the cards would fall
You bet your heart, but as I recall
I didn't even stand a chance
I bet you an ace up your sleeve
An' here I thought that you were so naive
You took my hand an' made me believe
In love an' real romance...
(repeat chorus)
Bridge:
An' if I live to be a hundred an' one
Honey, don'cha think that it would be fun
To do it all over again...
(repeat chorus)
I'm gonna lock you up and throw away the key
It was the crime of the century
It was love in the third degree
It was the crime of the century
Dance With The One That Brought You
Well he shines like a penny in a little kid's hand
When he's out on a Saturday night
He's a real go-getter and the best two-stepper you'll see
But when I'm sittin' alone at a table for two
'Cause he's already out on the floor
I think about somethin' that my mama used to say to me
CHORUS
You got to dance with the one that brought you
Stay with the one that wants you
The one who's gonna love you when all of the others go home
Don't let the green grass fool you
Don't let the moon get to you
Dance with the one that brought you and you can't go wrong
He's got his old best buddies and his new best friends
And the girls all give him the eye
He's a good time Charlie and the life of the party tonight
But when I think about another well I don't think twice
'Cause there'll never be another like him
I know he really loves me and I think maybe mama was right
CHORUS
You've got to dance with the one that brought you and you can't go wrong
Forget Me
Don't go around talkin' to your friends
about me
Bury the past, just let it rest in peace
Leave well enough alone
Treat me like someone you've never known
CHORUS
Forget me
Like you forgot to come home at night
Forget me
Like you forgot to hold me tight
(Well) now you're sorry, now you cry
But don't wipe those tears
'Til your memories run dry
Please forget me
Don't let the lonely days remind
you of anything
Oh baby try to erase the fact we
had everything
No you can't come back this time
so let me slip right out of your mind
CHORUS
Baby, please forget me
Forget me
God Ain't Gonna Getcha For That
Hey you, sittin' in the corner
Can't ya bear the jukebox playin'
Everybody's up doing the two-step
And you're not even tappin' your toe
Won't you let a lady buy you a cold brew
Loosen you up a little more than you
dare to
Maybe take a ride in my Cadillac
God ain't gonna getcha for that
CHORUS
Goad ain't gonna getcha for that
He's much too busy with the guys in the
black hats
There's nothin' wrong with a man
and a woman flirtin' with a honky-
tonk moon
God ain't gonna pay no attention
If we're just makin' use of his invention
Come on, baby don't hold back
God ain't gonna getcha for that
I can tell you're the quiet type
Are you new in town or just a little bit shy
Didn't you ever catch me lookin'?
I've been eyeing you all night
Won't you let a lady buy you a cold brew
Loosen you up a little more than you
dare to
Maybe take a ride in my Cadillac
God ain't gonna getcha for that
CHORUS(x2)
No...God ain't gonna getcha for that
God ain't gonna getcha for that
Got A Hold On Me
you got a hold on me
You're standing over me
Sometimes I hardly breathe at all
I need a little room
I need a lot of moon
I got to find it soon or I'll fall
Into the emptiness
Into the dark abyss
Too deep to climb the walls
Sometimes I want to flee
But that could never be
You got a hold on me
CHORUS
You got a hold on me
And I'm dancing to you son
You got a hold on me
And it's my heart you're holding on
You got the sweetest smile
You got a certain style
And I can never get enough
Of the way you move
And the way we groove
When it's feeling right to the touch
Then you turn around
and you stomp me down
And you want to call it love
You know it makes me bleed
But I could never leave
You got a hold on me
CHORUS
You got a hold on me
I keep dancing to your song
You got a hold on me
And it's my heart you're holding on
Still Under The Weather
My first lesson in losing a love was you
Learning to live with your memory was
lesson number two
And I can't lie, baby
I still cry sometimes
But I've come a long way
Towards gettin' you out of my mind
CHORUS
I'm still under the weather
But I'm over the storm
I still miss the shelter
Of your loving arms
But what I thought would kill me
Has just made me strong
I'm still under the weather
But I'm over the storm
Sometimes your memory still gets the
best of me
But that lonely ache in my heart
Ain't as bad as it use to be
And sometimes the way that I'm feelin'
Inside doesn't show
But I know
I'll get over you, I've just got a long
way to go
CHORUS
I'm still under the weather
But I'm over the storm
There Goes The Neighborhood
The house next door just came up for sale
She's goin' home to mama- she says he
can go to hell
The couple down the block is splitting up
I hear
And they're the third ones on our street
this year
CHORUS
It's just another day in anytown U.S.A.
Somebody's hurt, somebody's blue
And somebody moved away
What little they do to make it work
don't seem to do much good
When love moves out...there goes the
neighborhood
First they take off their wedding bands
They call it quits and call the moving vans
He takes his and she takes hers
And what's left over is left on the curb
CHORUS
When love moves out...there goes the
neighborhood
What Made You Say That?
Maybe tonight I'm going to tell him how I feel
Maybe I'll leave well enough alone
Maybe, just maybe, he'll want to be my baby
What if he's got plans of his own?
Waiting for the perfect moment
Looking for the perfect phrase
The one I finally choose
Is simply I love you
And as the words came out I heard a voice inside me say
Chorus:
What made you say that?
Was it the moonlight, was it the starlight in your eyes?
What made you say that?
Have you been listening to your heart?
It's too late now you don't want to take it back
'Cause I know love's what made you say that
I looked up to see his reaction
And a smile slowly spread across his face
He said "What took you so long?
That's what I've been waiting on.
Thought you'd take forever and a day."
Chorus:
What made you say that?
Was it the moonlight, was it the starlight in your eyes?
What made you say that?
Have you been listening to your heart?
It's too late now I won't let you take it back
'Cause I know love's what made you say that
Was it the moonlight, was it the starlight in your eyes?
What made you say that?
Have you been listning to your heart?
It's too late now you don't want to take it back
'Cause I know love's what made you say that
Fade
When He Leaves You
I come here as a friend
Though I don't really know you
I know you're in love with him
And he's made your world brand new
I know you think he loves you
And he may believe it too
Pour some coffee and I'll tell you
What you'll soon be going through
CHORUS
When he leaves you
It's gonna more than break your heart
When he leaves you
It's gonna tear your world apart
And you're gonna cry a million teardrops
One for every shattered dream
When he leave you
And comes back home to me
I've known him all these years
Honey this time's not the first time
I've paid for loving him with tears
And when it's over he'll be mine
I can see that I've upset you
Guess I'm a fool to try and help
When it comes to hearts and heartache
You got to find out for yourself
CHORUS
When he leaves you
And comes back home to me
