RIDE RIDE RIDE

(Liz Anderson)
« © '63 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
If you don't want me baby if you're not satisfied
If you don't care get on your hoss and ride ride ride

Since you got on your high horse all those fancy friends you've found
You've had a hard time seein' me you're always lookin' down

If you don't want me baby if you're not satisfied...

You talk about me honey ah you try to tear me down
Ah but while you're throwin' dirt at me you're slowly losin' ground

If you don't want me baby if you're not satisfied...
[ steel ] If you don't want me baby if you're not satisfied...

I'll have your second fiddle returned to you today
Cause baby that's one instrument I've never learned to play

If you don't want me baby if you're not satisfied...
If you don't want me baby if you're not satisfied...

THEN GO

(Liz Anderson)
« © '67 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
If you care no more for me if your love is gone
And if your heart is colder than the snow then go

Why do you keep hurting me make the pain go on
You must like to see my teardrops flow
When you're finally through with me and you're satisfied
That you've hurt me every way you know
And when you think you've broke my heart just so then go then go

(Why do you keep hurting me make the pain go on...)

BEGGARS CAN'T BE CHOOSERS

(Liz Anderson)
« © '65 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Beggars can't be choosers anyhow

Here I am I'm waiting at your feet again
Hoping that a crumb of love might fall
Wishing you'd give all your love to me
But then beggars can't be choosers after all

Hand me down your hand-me-downs I don't care
Ole left-over kisses I'm not proud
I'll take any love you think you can spare
Beggars can't be choosers anyhow
[ steel - guitar ] Why can't our love be the way it used to be
That would take a miracle I guess
A maybe you've forgotten a baby this is me beggin'
One more chance for happiness

Hand me down your hand-me-downs...
I'll take any love you think you can spare
Beggars can't be choosers anyhow

IN PERSON

(Liz Anderson)
« © '66 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
You gave the heart you gave to me in person
You made the vows you made to me in person
Then when your love had lost all its glow
You sent your friend to let me know
I wish you would have told me so in person

You placed your ring upon my hand in person
You should have got it back again in person
But so afraid my tears will start
You said your friend to do your part
You really should have broke my heart in person

If love is gone that I can understand
But it hurt so much to hear it second hand

You once appeared at my front door in person
You won't appear there anymore in person
And though you sent someone you knew
To tell me that our love was through
I know I'll still be missing you in person
I know I'll still be missing you in person

IT'S ONLY LONELY ME

(Liz Anderson - Casey Anderson)
« © '67 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
If you hear some footsteps walking close behind you in the night
And you look around and no one do you see
If you feel someone is watching you and there's no one in sight
Have no fear it's only lonely me

It's only lonely me I want you back again
So I send my memory to haunt you now and then
It follows you around wherever you may be
The ghost of love that's gone it's only lonely me
[ steel ] If sometimes you have the feeling there is something you forgot
Though you try you can't remember what it was
It's my mem'ry only trying to remind you
Like as not it was me that you forgot to love

It's only lonely me I want you back again...

IF THIS IS LOVE

(Liz Anderson)
« © '67 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
(If this is love the whole world is in trouble)

I've been thinking quite a lot about you and I
We don't get along no matter how we try
Seems to me we're always fighting always hurtin'
People say that this is love but I'm not certain

If this is love the whole world is in trouble
There must be more to love than I can see
If this is love the whole world will soon be rubble
If this is love the whole world is in trouble

They say love is sometimes happy sometimes sad
We must learn to take the good times with the bad
But there haven't been too many good times in it
You and I can't get along for fifteen minutes

If this is love the whole world is in trouble
It's not what I expected it to be
And just from what I've seen I'm worried double
If this is love the whole world is in trouble
[ steel ] (If this is love the whole world is in trouble)

I can't really say which one of us is worst
We both tried so hard to have the last word first
When we know we're wrong nobody will admit it
If this is love I'll just as soon forget it
If this is love the whole world is in trouble
I'm really just as worried as can be
If this is love the whole world will soon be rubble
If this is love the whole world is in trouble
If this is love the whole world is in trouble

IF I KISS YOU (WILL YOU GO AWAY)

(Liz Anderson)
« © '67 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
If I kiss you will you go away
Like in the game my mother used to play
You're so much hurt I wish you wouldn't stay
If I kiss you will you go away

My mom would come when I'd get hurt at play
She'd kiss my hurt and it would go away
But now I'm grown I don't know what to do
I've never known a bigger hurt than you

If I kiss you will you go away...

I've seen a kiss make sorrow disappear
A kiss can dry away the biggest tears
A kiss can make a heartache vanish too
I don't see why it wouldn't work on you

If I kiss you will you go away...
If I kiss you will you go away

TOO MUCH OF YOU

(Gene Hood)
« © '67 Gene Hood Music, BMI »
Too much of you still on my mind
Thinking of you almost all the time
Missing you since you left me behind
I've got too much of you still on my mind

When you left I thought maybe it was best
For we disagreed and quarreled all the time
Now I'm not so sure I should have let you go
For I've got too much of you still on my mind

Too much of you still on my mind...

Without thinking I let you walk away
That was a big mistake now I find
You're gone and now I know it's wrong this way
I've got too much of you still on my mind

THERE OUGHTA BE A LAW

(Betty Jo Gibson)
« © '67 Yonah Music, BMI »
Well there oughta be a law against what he's done
Stole my heart and away he run
Didn't leave me a thing but misery
And there oughta be a law against the way he's hurtin' me

The world keeps turnin' round and round but I'm just sittin' still
Since my baby left me I've just lost my will
All my ol' get up and go has done got up and gone
I guess it when to find the place where happiness has flown

Well there oughta be a law against what he's done...
[ steel ] He used to say he'd be my friend as long as I should please
If all my friends are like him well who needs enemies
They oughta pass a law some way to lock him up for life
To make him honor and obey and take me for his wife

Well there oughta be a law against what he's done...
And there oughta be a law against the way he's hurtin' me

IT MAKES YOU HAPPY

(Gene Woods)
« © ' 67 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Somehow it seems you always keep me cryin'
I must look my best to you when I am blue
You don't want me and I can't live without you
It makes you happy to know you make me blue

A smile on my face would be a stranger
And I'e cry until my heart thinks I know nothing else to do
I beg you give me just one happy hour
It makes you happy to know you make me blue
[ steel ] You love me just enough to keep me hurting
And each hour of ev'ry day that's what I do
It must thrill you to know I'm a fool about you
It makes you happy to know you make me blue

A smile on my face would be a stranger...
It makes you happy to know you make me blue

TEAR BY TEAR

(Jerry Lane)
« © '67 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Kiss by kiss I fell in love with you
Beat by beat you stole my heart away
Then lie by lie you broke that heart in two
Tear by tear I'm cryin' my life away

Dream by dream my future tumbled down
Hurt by hurt I weaken ev'ry day
Night after night you don't come around
Tear by tear I'm cryin' my life away

Memory by mem'ry I've tried to drive you from my mind
But each tick of the clock says I'm wastin' my time

One by one my hopes have disappeared
Hour by lonely hour I know you've gone to stay
But wish by wish I keep wanting you here
Cause tear by tear I'm cryin' my life away
Tear by tear I'm cryin' my life away

MY HEART KEEPS WALKIN' THE FLOOR

(Liz Anderson)
« © '67 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I seem to be collected and composed
Give people that impression I suppose
But I know you don't love me anymore
So my heart keeps walkin' the floor

When I go out to places where we've been
I never watched to see if you come in
My fingers don't tap tables anymore
But my heart keeps walkin' the floor

The way I'm missin' you must always be
A secret between myself and me
The thought of seein' you gives me a chill
Afraid I won't yet so afraid I will

I spend my nights just waiting for the day
When light will come and chase the dark away
My eyes may fall asleep just like before
But my heart keeps walkin' the floor
[ steel ] The way I'm missin' you must always be...
Yes my heart keeps walkin' the floor
