HOW CAN I UNLOVE YOU

(Joe South)
« © '71 ATV Songs, BMI »
How can I unsay the things I said to you
How can I undo the things that we used to do
Tell me how can I unfeel the way I feel for you
How can I unlove you

How can I untight the hold that you got on me
When you won't unchain my heart and set me free
How can I unremember every memory
So how can I unlove you

I'll never never uncry
Tears that I cried when you said goodbye
No I'll never never unmiss
The thrill that I missed when we used to kiss

How can I unsay the things I said to you
And how can I undo the things that we used to do
Tell me how can I unfeel the way I feel for you
How can I unlove you
[ strings ] Oh I'll never never uncry...
How can I unlove you how can I unlove you how can I unlove you

DON'T SAY THINGS YOU DON'T MEAN

(Glenn Sutton)
« © '71 Peer Music, BMI »
Don't promise me you love me then go and leave me blue
Don't say I mean the world to you unless I really do
Don't flower up the things you say to make my life a dream
Unless you really love me don't say things you don't mean

Don't let me feel your loving arms and then push me away
Don't talk about forever if you don't plan to stay
Don't tell me that you'll be my king or that I'll be your queen
Unless you really love me don't say things you don't mean

Don't let me build my world around a dream that won't come true
Can't you see that everything I do is just for you
Don't flower up the things you say to make my life a dream
Unless you really love me don't say things you don't mean

Don't let me build my world around...

YOU'VE GOT A FRIEND

(Carole King)
« © '71 Colgems Music, ASCAP »
When you're down and troubled and you need a helping hand
And nothin' oh nothin' is goin' right
Close your eyes and think of me and soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night

You just call out my name and you know wherever I am
I'll come runnin' to see you again
Winter spring summer or fall all you've got to do is call and I'll be there
You've got a friend oh you've got a friend

If the sky above you should turn dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind should begin to blow oh
Keep your head together call my name out loud soon I'll be knocking upon your door
Oh you just call out my name and you know wherever I am
I'll come running hey baby to see you again

Oh winter spring summer or fall all you've have to do is call and I'll be there
Oh ain't it good to know that you've got a friend people can be so cold
They'll hurt you desert you they'll take your soul if you let them
Oh but don't you let them

You just call out my name...

EASY LOVIN'

(Freddie Hart)
« © '70 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Easy lovin' so sexy lookin'
I know from the feelin' that it comes from the heart
Easy lovin' everyday's things givin'
To count on my blessin's I wouldn't know where to start

Everytime I look you over I know and understand
That when you hold and kiss me I've got myself a lie of man
Easy lovin' seein's believin'
Life with you's like livin' in a beautiful dream

Everytime I look you over...

HERE I GO AGAIN

(Ted Harris)
« © '71 Milene Music, ASCAP »
Here I go again missing you yes here I go again feeling blue
You're gone and still my crazy heart keeps right on beatin' true
Yes here I go again missing you

I woke up this morning and do an old familiar line
Said this is it today's the day I get you off my mind
But all my good intentions couldn't keep these tears inside
Now I'm right back in that same old boat to take that same old ride

Here I go again missing you...
Yes here I go again missing you (missing you)

WHAT'S MADE MILWAUKEE FAMOUS

(Glenn Sutton)
« © '68 Al Gallico Music, BMI »
It's late and I'm waiting and by now he should be home
I've walked the floor for hours listening for the telephone
But he's always weak with dreams so strong and I guess he'll always be
What's made Milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me

Though I've begged him not to go so many times before
I've told him love and happiness can't live behind those swinging doors
I hate to see him live this way but I just can't set him free
What's made Milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me
[ harmonica ] Though I've begged him not to go...
What's made Milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me

TAKE ME HOME COUNTRY ROADS

(John Denver - Bill Danoff - Taffy Nivert)
« © '71 Cherry Lane Music, ASCAP / Music Of 1091, ASCAP / WB Music, ASCAP »
Almost heaven West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains Shenandoah River
Life is old there older than the trees
Younger than the mountains blowin' like a breeze

Country roads take me home to the place I belong
West Virginia mountain mama take me home country roads

All my mem'ries gather round her
Miner's lady stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine teardrop in my eye

Country roads take me home...

I hear his voice in the mornin' as he calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
Drivin' down the road I get a feelin' that I should have been
Home yesterday yesterday

Country roads take me home...
Country roads take me home...

THERE'S NEVER BEEN ANYONE LIKE YOU

(Jerry Foster - Bill Rice)
« © '71 PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
It isn't as though I've never been loved
Or never been needed by someone
Love's had its time in this life of mine
And that happiness goes without have some

I know how it feels to love and be loved
I've had a moment or two
But I can honestly say I have never loved this way
For there's never been anyone like you

Oh there's never been anyone like you love
And there probably never will be love
For I know I'll never find another love like yours and mine
No there's never been anyone like you love
[ choir ] No there's never been anyone like you love...
No there's never been anyone like you

ALL DAY SUCKER

(Liz Anderson - Casey Anderson)
« © '70 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I got up at six this morning and I polished up the sun
So when you woke up the sun would shine on you
Raised the dawn to get the papers so when the breakfast you sat down
I could be the one that you'd say thank you to

From the first thing in the morning till the last thing in the night
Every hour and every minute I'm your fool
Anyway that I can please you I will try with all my might
I'm an all day sucker when it comes to you

So from morning until evening I'll be at your beg and call
I'll do anything at all that pleases you
You can wind me round your finger almost anyway at all
I'm an all day sucker when it comes to you
[ steel ] Then today I clean your workshop wash the car and mow the lawn
And I even shine the laces in your shoes
I try hard to make you love me and it's all enough till dawn
I'm an all day sucker when it comes to you

So from morning until evening...
So from morning until evening...
I'm an all day sucker when it comes to you

THAT'S WHAT LOVING YOU HAS MEANT TO ME

(Glenn Sutton)
« © '71 Peer Music, BMI »
Did you ever watched a youngster's eyes when you gave him his first puppy
Or see a prisoner smile when the warden says you're free
Or a sinner cry with happiness when the Lord just filled his needs
Well that's what loving you has meant to me

Did you ever stand beside someone when you knew that they were wrong
Or watch an acorn grow into a tree
Did you ever have your ship come in when you thought that it was lost
Well that's what loving you has meant to me

That's what loving you has meant to me
If there's such a place as heaven then desist it for me
I'll never want somebody new when your world ends then mine ends too
That's what loving you has meant to me

That's what loving you has meant to me...

SIMPLE WORDS

(Glenn Sutton)
« © '70 Peer Music, BMI »
You can buy a box of candy on each birthday
Send a dozen roses every anniversary
But gifts are in the race and nothing takes the place
Of a kiss and simple words like I love you

You can take my part when all the world's against me
Take my hand and lead me safely through
But the thing I need the most is real to hold me close
And say some simple words like I love you

Simple words the kind that keeps through life and rightful years
Simple words the kind of woman always needs but seldom hears
So if you care to give the best remember I'm the most impressed
By sweet and simple words like I love you
Just say some simple words like I love you
