ME ME ME ME ME

(Liz Anderson)
« © '68 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI » (Me me me me me)

Who was so good at lyin' took your heart and left it cryin'
Me me me me me that's who
Who said love didn't matter made you sad then made you sadder
Me me me me me that's who

Who just kept on runnin' round tramped your dreams into the ground
Made a fool of you in front of people in this town
Who was so wrong about you who can't get along without you
Me me me me me that's who me me me me me that's who
[ guitar ] Who'd like to change their livin' give the world to be forgiven
Me me me me me that's who
Who's tired of alibin' who is sorry who is cryin'
Me me me me me that's who

Who is sorry who is sad who is it that feels so bad
Who's the one that wants the truest love she ever had
Who doesn't want to break up who would like the chance to makeup
Me me me me me that's who me me me me me that's who
Me me me me me (me me me me me) that's who

DID YOU HAVE TO BRING THAT UP

(Liz Anderson)
« © '68 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
You just walked right up to me here at the table
Said you found somebody else that you love so
I won't try to stop you darlin' I'm not able
But let me ask you just one thing before you go

Did you have to bring that up while I was eating
Just to tell me that you're leavin' honey bunch
Did you have to bring that up while I was eating
Now you're gone and spoiled my appetite for lunch

Seems to me you ain't got no consideration
Seems to me you're only thinkin' of yourself
You sure pick particular times for conversation
Just to tell me that you love somebody else

Did you have to bring that up while I was eating...

Oh to be so broken up I thought I'd never
Yes my heart is bruised and broken that's for sure
But with news like you are leavin' me forever
Couldn't you have waited half an hour more

Did you have to bring that up while I was eating...
Did you have to bring that up while I was eating...

LIKE A MERRY GO ROUND

(Liz Anderson)
« © '68 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Our love is like a merry go round
You build me up you let me down
You make my heart go round and round it's true
But I like ridin' on the merry go round with you

You got me goin' round in circles still my heart is spinning
I'm all mixed up whatever will I do
Just when I think we've gone somewhere we're back to the beginning
I'm really gettin' nowhere fast with you

Our love is like a merry go round...

Our love is not going anywhere there'll be no destination
You're fickle and you never will be true
And if there is a ring somewhere it's only imitation
But still I love to go around with you

Our love is like a merry go round...

I like ridin' on the merry go round
I like ridin' on the merry go round
I like ridin' on the merry go round with you

THANKS BUT NO THANKS

(Liz Anderson)
« © '68 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
You're back again and beggin' me once more to let you stay
Pick up our lives where we left off before you went away
I don't believe our love could be the way it was before
So thanks but no thanks I don't think I want you anymore

I can't forget my shattered heart the day I found you gone
Somehow I picked those pieces up and made myself go on
You say you'd never hurt me now the way you hurt me then
Well thanks but no thanks I don't care to take the chance again

The promises you're making now are more than likely lies
The happiness you offer more heartache in disguise

So I'll leave well enough alone I'm fine the way I am
I couldn't ask my heart to go through all that pain again
And I'm all through forgiving you guess I've forgotten how
So thanks but no thanks it's all over I don't want you now
(So thanks but no thanks it's all over) I don't want you now

NO ANOTHER TIME

(Jerry Lane - Slim Williamson)
« © '67 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Two times up and three times down
Ev'rybody knows that's the way to drown
And then it's too late to swim to the shore
And this'll be the third time you left me for her

And there ain't gonna be no another time
There ain't gonna be no another time
When you leave you better pack
Cause you ain't comin' back
There ain't gonna be no another time

Let me further explain what I'm talkin' about
Three strikes baby and then you're out
You've already had two swings at the ball
There's just one more and I'm afraid that's all

Cause there ain't gonna be no another time...
[ piano ] I've always heard about the third time charm
And this is trip number three you've made to her arms
I hope you find what you're lookin' for
Cause I'm changin' the lock on my front door

And there ain't gonna be no another time...

TONIGHT I'LL THROW A PARTY

(Jerry Lane)
« © '68 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
You're at a business meeting that's what you think I believe
But to you life's one big party and it's always New Years Eve
Let someone throw a party you go and leave me home
Tonight I'll throw a party of my own

Tonight I'll throw a party of my own
And mine will start the minute you come home
I'll have the lights all burnin' bright and then at three or four
Tonight I'll throw a party out the door
[ guitar ] I don't care what the neighbors hear or what the neighbors see
They'll know the morning after a good time was had by me
This party that I'm throwin' won't be quiet won't be small
He'll be the biggest wildest one of all

Tonight I'll throw a party of my own...
Tonight I'll throw a party of my own...

LOVE IS ENDING

(Liz Anderson)
« © '68 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Hear the wind how sad it's blowing
It must know you'll soon be going
What to do to free you of me
I've no hold when you don't love me

Set you free I just don't know how
All I know I'll be alone now
Happy you no more pretending
Sadness mine for love is ending

Now it's done the words are spoken
One heart free for one heart broken
Better off that's what they told me
Sorry words do not console me

Time will heal end to sorrow
Tears I cry pave new tomorrows
Happy you no more pretending
Sadness mine for love is ending

BLUE ARE THE VIOLETS

(Liz Anderson - Casey Anderson)
« © '68 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
(Blue are the violets and red are the roses
Black was that cold wind that took him away)

We were so happy down here in the hollow
Together put violets and roses to bed
Then one day he left me and I couldn't follow
Alone with blue violets and roses of red

Blue are the violets and red are the roses
And warm were his kisses like sunshine in May
Blue are the violets and red are the roses
But black was that cold wind that took him away
[ steel ] The violets and roses around still are growing
All tumbled together surrounding the shack
But over the meadow the cold wind's still blowing
And roses and violets will not bring him back

Blue are the violets and red are the roses...

TAKE ME TO YOUR WORLD

(Billy Sherrill - Glenn Sutton)
« © '67 Al Gallico Music, BMI »
If you could find it in your heart to just forgive
I'll come back and live the way you wanted me to live
All I want is just to be your girl
Please come and get me and take me to your world

Take me to your world away from barrooms filled with smoke
Where I won't have to serve a drink or hear another dirty joke
All I want is just to be your girl
Please come and get me and take me to your world
[ guitar ] Take me to your world make me forget the things I've heard
Where people say I love you and love is not a dirty word
All I want is just to be your girl
Please come and get me and take me to your world

YOUR HOLD ON ME IS GONE

(Liz Anderson - Donna Austin)
« © '68 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I went through loving you with eyes blinded
Love that's uncared for dies just like mine did
If you want that love now you won't find it
That love is over now your hold on me is gone

Don't you know tears don't show when love's over
If you once looked you'd know but you've never
Did you think you could hurt me forever
The hurt's all over now your hold on me is gone
[ piano ] I've cried more than my share of tears learning
But the love I gave you weren't turning
As each tear fell it washed away hurting
The hurt's all over now your hold on me is gone
Our love's all over now your hold on me is gone

CRY CRY AGAIN

(Liz Anderson - Dick Land)
« © '68 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I put my little girl to bed with teardrops in her eyes
All day I tried to comfort her and louder were her cries
I left her there to say her prayer and stepped outside the door
The prayer I heard was one I knew I'd never heard before

Please have my mommy ask my daddy to come home
Sometimes I'll cry and get my way and mommy's so alone
She told me once that when I'm right I never should give in
So if at first I don't succeed I'll cry cry again

I know our little girl is right and we're both in the wrong
And so I've called you up tonight to ask you please come home
I can't go on or stand for long the way she cried today
And I can't go to sleep tonight because I heard her pray

Please have my mommy ask my daddy to come home...

LITTLE THINGS

(Willie Nelson - Shirley Nelson)
« © '67 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I hope I don't disturb you with this call
I'm just in town for such a little while
And I thought perhaps you'd like to hear the news
Jeannie's grades were highest in the school

Billy sure does look a lot like you
I understand your other son does too
And Billy said tell dad I miss him so
These were some little things I thought you'd like to know

Remember Sam and Pat who lived next door
With them it seemed we always laughed so much
Well Sam and Pat don't live there anymore
I understand they broke up just like us

The house we lived in now has been torn down
Of all the things we owned the last to go
A freeway now runs through that part of town
These were some little things I thought you'd like to know
These were some little things I thought you'd like to know
