My Man

Billy Sherrill - Norro Wilson - Carmol Taylor

© Algee Music, BMI

My man understands
He holds me in the palm of his hand
And I like it I like it
He's a dream the real thing
He always makes me feel like a queen
And I love it I love it
His arms are warm
They keep me away from harm
And I'm proud of it so proud of it
He's mine he's fine
He makes a funny feeling go up my spine
And I wanna keep it like this all the time

He's got what I want when I want it
He's got what I need when I need it
I'd fight a million just to keep it
Just to keep on holdin' to the precious love he gives me

How I hate to sit and wait
When I know he's got to work late
I can't stand it can't stand it
But when he walks in
And I'm in his lovin' arms again
I forget it I forget it
His touch is too much
He knows how to love me just enough
And I love him I love him
My man understands
He holds me in the palm of his hand
And I wanna keep it like this all the time
[ steel + strings ]
He's got what I want when I want it...

My man understands
He holds me in the palm of his hand
And I wanna keep it like this all the time
Yeah I wanna keep it like this all the time

Things I Love To Do

Earl Montgomery - Tammy Wynette

© Songs Of Universal, BMI

I'm up every morning by six
Knowing I could have slept until ten
But I like to bring him his coffee
And wake him with a warm kiss or two
Start his day off right and when I see him tonight
There'll be more things for him that I love to do

I can tell when his day has been troubled
So I love all his worries away
I lay down by his side and console him
And remind him our troubles are few
Then at down start his day in my own special way
There's so many things for him that I love to do

It's not things I have to do
Just little things I wanna do
It's not things he asks of me
Just little things he least expects of me

Because of lovin' that I get from him when his day is through
There'll always be things for him that I love to do
There'll always be things for him that I love to do

Hold On (To The Love I Got)

Norro Wilson - Carmol Taylor - Tammy Wynette

© Algee Music, BMI / Songs Of Universal, BMI

Well I'm livin' when I'm lovin' and I'm lovin' every time I'm with you
Just like walkin' in the sunshine Lord you make me feel so fine
And as long as we're livin' and lovin' the way we want to
I know I'm gonna be the most loved woman alive

I'm gonna hold on to the love I got
I couldn't careless it they like it or not
As long as you're satisfied with the things I do
I'm gonna hold on to the love I got
In a hundred million years I'll never stop
Cause there's nothin' in this world that could keep me from lovin' you
[ trumpet ]
The thrills I feel I know are real when you hold me
And I wake up every mornin' with your arms wrapped around me tight
And the feelin' I feel is exactly the way it should be
Cause the love we've got keeps goin' every day and night

I'm gonna hold on to the love I got...
Cause there's nothin' in this world that could keep me from lovin' you

Loving You Could Never Be Better

Earl Montgomery - Charlene Montgomery - Betty Tate

© Songs Of Universal, BMI

Well here we are again tonight alone just us two
Where the lights are dim and true love is coming through
There's no one else in this whole world as far as we're concerned
We built ourselves a fire so let it burn

When you look at me like you do right now I go to pieces
Because I know what's on your mind it's just me
You've got that love-me-look in your eyes like you've had so many time and how
Lovin' you could never be better than it is right now

Tomorrow night we'll meet again to once more fan the flame
Cause lovin' you the way I do stays the same
This love of ours is just as strong as any vow could be
And love could never be better for you and me

When you look at me like you do right now I go to pieces...
Lovin' you could never be better than it is right now

Till I Get It Right

Red Lane - Larry Henley

© Tree Publishing, BMI

I'll just keep on fallin' in love
Till I get it right
Right now I'm like a wounded bird
Hungry for the sky
But if I try my wings and try long enough
I'm bound to learn to fly
So I'll just keep on fallin' in love
Till I get it right

My door to love has opened up
More times than in
And I'm either fool or wise enough
To open it again
Cause I'll never know what's beyond the mountain
Till I reach the other side
So I'll just keep on fallin' in love
Till I get it right

If practice makes perfect
Then I'm near bout as perfect as I'll ever be in my life
So I'll just keep on fallin' in love
Till I get it right

Walk Softly On The Bridges

Dallas Frazier - Arthur Leo Owens

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI / Unichappell Music, BMI

Don't be careless with you darlin'
If you love him don't let him down
If you're faithful he won't leave you
Lost and wasted the way I am

Walk softly on the bridges that you're crossing
Don't break his heart then cry cause it won't mend
Be careful not to slam the door behind you
You may need to knock upon his door again

When temptation flirts and whispers
Come and taste my lips they're sweet as wine
If you weaken you'll be chatin'
On your own heart like I did mine

Walk softly on the bridges that you're crossing...

Bridge Of Love

Jae Kay

© Algee Music, BMI

Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm

When the bridge of love starts fallin' down
Fallin' down fallin' down
The bridge is strong but when things go wrong
It's down down down

Watch the happy children go round and round
Some are black some are brown
The bridge is strong but when things go wrong
It's down down down

Hear the little children singing their song
Everything's right and they belong
All the little children are gonna be sad
When the bridge falls down no mom no dad

When the bridge of love starts fallin' down...

One hand a reachin' out to another
Makes a bridge of love will you be my brother
The bridge is strong but when things go wrong
It's down down down

Look at our country what do you see
The bridge of all colors standin' free
The bridge is strong but when hearts go wrong
It's down down down

When the bridge of love starts fallin' down...

Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
Down down down

You Can't Hang On (To Lookin' On)

Norro Wilson - Carmol Taylor

© Algee Music, BMI

Well here I sit there you go again
I've taken as much of this as I can stand
All I ever hear is what you're gonna do
But what I want most I never get from you
I need a man to stay at home with me
A man that'll give me love and the kind I need
You ain't gonna keep on treatin' me like you do
So listen close it's the last time I tell you

Well you can't hang on to me just lookin' on
You gotta give a woman love that's strong
You gotta kiss me in the morning a squeeze me at night
Do a good job make everything all right
You gotta love me strong and love me long
You'll find out that your baby's goin' wrong
If you got any feelin' for this woman at home
You can't hang on lookin' on
[ guitar ]
Well you can't hang on to me just a lookin' on...

Yes if you got any feelin' for this woman at home
You can't hang on lookin' on

Donna Fargo

© Embassy Music, BMI / Algee Music, BMI

Now shine on me sunshine
Walk with me world it's a skip-a-dee-doo-dah day
I'm the happiest girl in the whole USA

Good morning morning hello sunshine wake up sleepy head
Now why'd we move on that bojungle clock so far away from the bed
Just one more minute that's why we moved it one more hug or two
Do you love wakin' up next to me as much as I love wakin' up next to you

You make the coffee I'll make the bed I'll fix your lunch and you'll fix mine
Tell me the truth do these old shoes look funny honey it's almost nine
Now you'll be careful gotta go I love you have a beautiful day
And kiss the happiest girl in the whole USA

Skip-a-dee-doo-dah thank you Lord for making him for me
And thank you for letting life turn out the way that I always thought it could be
There once was a time when I could not imagine how it would feel to say
I'm the happiest girl in the whole USA

Now shine on me sunshine...
Now shine on me sunshine...

Gone With Another Man

Carmol Taylor

© Algee Music, BMI

I don't mind you going down to the bar
And talkin' bout the lady's man that you think you are
If you stay out late come home a little too tight
I don't say a word everything's still all right

I don't mind you sayin' you're the boss at home
And actin' like you're the king on a golden throne
And braggin' how you got me in the palm of your hand
But if I ever catch you with another girl
Gonna throw a lock on your sweet world
For you know what happened to me
I'll be gone with another man

Just thought I'd give you a little advice
Fore you cross that line think twice
Cause if you do it's gonna be sad
And I'll pull hurt like you've never had

So don't go a looking for love like a man that's free
Cause you got more love than you need right here with me
Cheatin' and lyin' are things I just can't stand
So if I ever catch you a doin' me wrong
You ain't a gonna have no woman at home
Fore you know what happened to me
I'll be gone with another man

So if I ever catch you a doin' me wrong
You ain't a gonna have no woman at home
Fore you know what happened to me
I'll be gone with another man

Good Lovin' (Makes It Right)

Billy Sherrill

© Algee Music, BMI

Good lovin' keeps a home together
Good lovin' sure can make it right
If you never wanna be without him
It means lovin' everything about him
That keeps your man around at night

It takes a whole lotta woman to hold it together today
Cause a lot of other women have a whole lotta time to play
You gotta be a saint on Sunday morning
A devil on Saturday night
And when you're lovin' do it right

Cause she's around every corner a wrapped in fur
And you've got to be just a little bit better than her
A little bit sweeter with morning kisses
A whole lot warmer in the night
With a lot of good lovin' to make everything alright

Good lovin' keeps a home together...

If you don't believe what I'm tellin' you is so
Put your man right down on the street and watch him go
Right to the arms of a woman who couldn't even hold you a light
When a lot of good lovin' would've made everything alright

If you don't believe what I'm tellin' you is so...
Yeah a lot of good lovin' would've made everything alright
