BIG CITY
(Paul Williams - Sam Humphrey)
« © '65 UA Music, ASCAP »
I'm walking your streets again big city searching every face that I see
Looking for my darling big city the one that you took away from me
You lured him with your night life big city
To take him from me you know it was wrong
I'm searching night and day for him big city
Oh without his love I just can't go on
[ trumpet - ac.guitar ]
You took my love away from me big city stole him out of my two lovin' arms
You know I'm gonna hate you big city if you brought my baby any harm
So I'm walking your streets again big city...

GET YOUR LIE THE WAY YOU WANT IT
(Buddy Mize)
« © '66 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Straighten up your tie and comb your hair
Look as though you spent your time alone
Wash away her lipstick from your collar
Get your lie the way you want it then come on home
Make sure there's no blond hair on your shoulder
Tear up the name and number of her phone
Smile and don't let on how much you shamed me
Get your lie the way you want it then come on home
Come on home to me to the one who's number two
The one who throws away her pride to keep on loving you
I'll be waiting when you come back from the other love you've known
Get your lie the way you want it then come on home
Get your lie the way you want it then come on home

MAKING BELIEVE
(Jimmy Work)
« © '54 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Making believe that you still love me it's leaving me alone and so blue
But I'll always dream still I'll never own you making believe is all I can do
I can't hold you close darling when you're not with me
You're somebody's love oh you'll never be mine
You know I'm making believe I've never lost you
But my happy hour I'll find are so few
I can't hold you close darling when you're not with me
You're somebody's love oh you'll never be mine
Making believe I'll spend my lifetime
Just loving you and making believe

IT'S ENOUGH TO MAKE A WOMAN LOSE HER MIND
(Bill Anderson)
« © '66 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I've almost read the ink right off the paper
I've read your letter through so many times
With every word I ache and ache to touch you
It's enough to make a woman lose her mind
I wish the miles for all that stood between us
For I'd be on the first train I could find
But you love someone else the way I love you
It's enough to make a woman lose her mind
How did my emotions get so single
How did my poor heart become so blind
For I'm in love with one I'll never marry
It's enough to make a woman lose her mind
[ guitar ]
The world for me has turned into a prison
And I've become a prisoner servin' time
My sentence is a long long life without you
It's enough to make a woman lose her mind
It's enough to make a woman lose her mind

OVER NIGHT
(Jimmy Gateley)
« © '66 Songs Of Universal, BMI »
Didn't mean to love you like I love you over night
So I know that I just can't forget you over night
How I wish it could be done just turn off a switch and run
But I fout out it can't be done over night
I can act like I don't care and make it look so real
I can change the way I look but not the way I feel
How was I to know that I would lose you over night
And be trying somehow to forget you over night
But I fould one things it's true if I do stop loving you
It's something that I won't do over night
Oh how I wish it could be done...

LOOK INTO MY TEARDROPS
(Harlan Howard - Don Bowman)
« © '66 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Look into my teardrops and darling you will see
The reflection of an angel that made a fool of me
Look into my teardrops and you will see the eyes
That promised me so many things but all of them were lies
Look into my teardrops the mirror of my soul
You will see the boy who stilled my only world but I couldn't hold
Look into my teardrops you will see the one
Who broke my heart forever ain't you proud of what you've done
[ guitar ]
Look into my teardrops the mirror of my soul...
Who broke my heart forever ain't you proud of what you've done

THAT COMPLETELY DESTROYS MY PLANS
(Jerry Crutchfield)
« © '66 Songs Of Universal, BMI »
I knew from the first I love you
And my heart was your to command
Now you tell me you think you love another
And that completely destroys my plans
So I told myself I'd forget you
And I'll do it just as fast as I can
Oh but I can't even take down your picture
And that completely destroys my plans
My plans were just to be happy but now I don't see how I can
For as long as someone else is there beside you
That completely destroys my plans
Yes as long as someone else is there beside you
That completely destroys my plans

LOOK WHO'S LONELY
(Loretta Lynn)
« © '66 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
Well how many times have you waved bye bye
And left me at home just to sit and cry
Now look who's lonely look who's blue
You didn't think you could ever lose
Now look who's wearin' my old shoes
Yeah look who's lonely look who's blue
You're wantin' me to take you back you're begging me to try
You can't look me in the eye when you say you've changed cause it's just another lie
Stop where you are cause you can't come in you ain't a gonna get in my heart again
Now look who's lonely look who's blue
[ guitar ]
Well you're down on your knees outside my door
But I haven't heard enough I wanna hear some more
Yeah look who's lonely look who's blue
How that all the neighbors are laughin' at you
I guess you know I think it's kinda funny too
Yeah look who's lonely look who's blue
You're wantin' me to take you back...
Yeah look who's lonely look who's blue

THERE GOES MY EVERYTHING
(Dallas Frazier)
« © '65 Husky Music, BMI / Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
There goes my only possesion there goes my everything
I hear footsteps slowly walking as they gently walk across a lonely floor
And a voice was softly saying darling this will be goodbye forever more
There goes my reason for living there goes the one of my dreams
There goes my only possesion there goes my everything
As my mem'ry turns back the pages
I can see the happy years we had before
Now the love that kept this old heart beating
Has been shattered by the closing of a door
There goes my reason for living...

OUR THINGS
(Mitchell Torok - Ramona Redd)
« © '66 Forrest Hills Music, BMI / Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Don't do our things with somebody new
Don't do our things the things we used to do
Don't go walking down the street we used to walk along
Those old mem'ries there just let them be
Don't go dancing to the music of our favorite song
These are right things meant just for you and me
Don't do our things...
Don't give her that special look you always saved for me
There's a thrill there the time can't never take
All the little things we did still mean so much to me
So please save our things just for old time sake
Don't do our things...

I'M LIVING IN TWO WORLDS
(Jan Crutchfield)
« © '66 Forrest Hills Music, BMI / Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I'm living in two worlds dividing my time
Unhappy in your world and lonesome in mine
When I'm in your world well I just pretend
That I'm really happy though I don't fit in
Then I drift in my world so cold and alone
I'm living in two worlds where do I belong
I'm living in two worlds...
[ guitar ]
Old friends in your world they're new friends to me
So I can't take part in in your old memory
Our love shared in two worlds that don't turn the same
We each have our own worlds and neither can change
Yes I'm living in two worlds...
