EASY AS PIE
(Rory Bourke - Gene Dobbins - Johnny Wilson)

Uh huh huh uh Uh huh uh
She meant nothing to me just another one night stand
She was easy as pie and I had her eating out of my hand
Had her eating out of my hand
She was easy to touch smiling as I came on strong
She was easy as pie and I knew it wouldn't take me too long
Knew it wouldn't take me too long
Now here comes mornin' and my way of thinkin' has changed
Oh she came on so tender but look who surrendered
The lady wasn't playing the game
Now I'm easy as pie the lady had herself a plan
And it's easy to see that she's got me eating out of her hand
[ steel ]
Now I'm easy as pie the lady had herself a plan
And it's easy to see that she's got me eating out of her hand
Got me eating out of her hand hmm hmm (easy)

THINK I'LL GO SOMEWHERE AND CRY MYSELF TO SLEEP
(Bill Anderson)
« © '65 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
I just kissed the one I love for the last time
And never has her soft lips felt so sweet
She's gone away and won't be back forever
Think I'll go somewhere and cry myself to sleep
Just before she said goodbye she called me darlin' yeah she did
Then slowly ran her fingers down my cheek
And I thought I'd die when she said she still loved me
Think I'll go somewhere and cry myself to sleep
I'll go somewhere and cry myself to sleep
Not because I'm sad because I'm weak
I can't stand the thought of life alone without her
Think I'll go somewhere and cry myself to sleep
Think I'll go somewhere and cry myself to sleep

YOU CAN'T CRY IT AWAY
(Curly Putman - Red Lane - Danny Morrison)
« © '75 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Baby don't cry baby
You know yourself what's done is done and it can't be erased
Please baby don't cry baby
Let me wipe the pain and a hurtin' right off of your face
And you can't cry it away no you can't cry it away
We have to work it out little by little and day by day
Your every teardrop is killing me baby
It's hurtin' me worse than it's a hurtin' you and you can't cry it away
Come on now let me put my arms around you
Put your head on my shoulder cause everything's gonna be alright honey
Hush now you know I still love you
Baby don't cry baby...
And you can't cry it away...
Oh baby you don't have to say a word I know what I've done and I'm sorry
But I know that sorry just ain't enough
What we have to do is start right now we have to go right on with our lives
And just make sure that nothin' like this ever happens again

ANOTHER WOMAN
(Dan Penn - Buzz Cason)
« © '75 Dan Penn Music, BMI / Buzz Cason Publications, ASCAP »
Only one thing can make you get over a woman another woman
Well it happened and it's happened again
There I was all alone again and searching for a way to get over her
Losers now they're all the same they drink a lot and they tell the same
Old stories you've heard them all before
My story I told it so right I drew a picture of my last night with her
And then you said honey I know what's wrong
You're lonely but you're not alone
Someone like me might take you home
And it touched me all over when you said
Only one thing can make you get over a woman
Another woman can pick you up and make you feel right
And only one thing can make you feel better than a woman
Another woman to get you through another night
[ steel ]
You found me you pulled me on through
Only a miracle that you could do
Yes it happened when you touched me now I know
Only one thing can make you get over a woman...
(Another woman) to get me through another night

I NEED SOMEBODY TO LOVE ME
(John Adrian)
« © '75 Pick A Hit Music, BMI »
Is there someone in the night who can make me feel right
I've been feelin' for so long
Is there someone out there with a dream that I can share
Is there someone who will care if I'm gone or if I'm here
Who can help me set my spirit free
I'm lonely and I need somebody to love me
I've got tender lovin' words no woman's ever heard
The women I tried turned out wrong
They were noisy they were fast all the kinds that never last
In this big and lonesome world there's just got to be a girl
Who can help me to solve love's mystery
I'm lonely and I need somebody to love me
I never had a woman waitin' on me at my door
And it's got me feelin' bad you see and I just can't take anymore
So I'm askin' anyone who had to watch the mornin' sun tryin' hard not to cry
What you feel ain't nothin' new I've been cryin' just like you
Maybe me and you should try to help each other fly we can be what lovers ought to be
I'm lonely and I need somebody to love me
I'm lonely and I need somebody to love

WALK SOFTLY
(Van McCoy)
« © '74 Van McCoy Music, BMI / Warner-Tamerlane Publishing, BMI »
Walk softly when you walk by me
Cause my heart is still don't shake it up
Now that I've cried my love to sleep
Don't wake it up don't wake it up
Now that I've cried my love to sleep
Don't wake it up don't wake it up
If I seem distant and reserved when we meet
Don't take the time to ask me why
Cause it's bad enough that I've lost you
Don't make it rough just say hello and goodbye
Walk softly when you walk by me...
I fall apart each time I look in your eyes
Remembering things I should forget
My love's a spark but it could burst into flames
Cause I'm not over you yet
Walk softly when you walk by me...

HAS A CAT GOT A TAIL
(Tanya Tucker)
« © '75 Tanya Tucker Music, BMI »
Can I make you feel good can I turn you on
Make you feel like a woman yeah a baby all night long
Just let me lay some lovin' on you come on and let yourself go
I promise I won't let you down girl no so let the good times roll
Has a cat got a tail does the postman bring your mail
Does a hound dog bark can an owl see in the dark
Can a fox outrun a snail
Will a dog chew on a bone does a hermit live alone
Do lovebirds coo and baby if they do a then I love you
[ piano ]
You keep a askin' me if I really care
If I'll do you right now if I'll treat you fair
Well let me ease your mind girl here and now today
Baby you don't have to worry no but let me put it this way
Has a cat got a tail does the postman bring your mail...
Has a cat got a tail does the postman bring your mail...

FIRST TIME
(John Adrian)
« © '75 Pick A Hit Music, BMI »
No rose will ever seem as red no sky will ever seem as blue
As when you fall in love for the first time
No song will ever sound as sweet no love will sweep you off your feet
As when you fall in love for the first time
And you were the first time I gave my heart away
Blind to the price I had to pay
And now that you've gone I've got nothing left to give
I gave it all away the first time
No tears will ever fall as fast
As they fall for the love you thought would last
Nothing hurts like the love you lose the first time
I'll play the game of love again I'll learn to lie and I'll pretend
That it taste just as sweet as the first time
And you were the first time I gave my heart away...

YOU RUBBED IT IN ALL WRONG
(John Adrian)
« © '75 Pick A Hit Music, BMI »
Honey I think you lied to me underneath those summer skies
A rubbin' it in with a slight touch of sin a raisin' my wildest desires
Now you're doin' the thing that we did last summer
With a different beat and a brad new drummer
I must have been asleep at the wheel while you were changin' your song
You rubbed it in all wrong you rubbed it in all wrong
Honey I ain't your man you got sand in your hand
Time for me to move along you rubbed it in all wrong
I don't know who you think you are but I sure know who you ain't
I've got a notion you've been usin' bad lotion and it startin' to peel off my paint
You meen a makin' the rounds all over this town
I hear you're gettin' ready for a new --???--
Time for me to say goodbye I hung around too long
You rubbed it in all wrong you rubbed it in all wrong...
Aw put a little bit right down here honey
Oh Honey you've got sand in your hand
Switch hands for me oh that's much better yeah
You've got it baby keep on a rubbin'

THERE WON'T BE ANOTHER NOW
(Red Lane)
« © '75 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh
The porch swing is squeakin' and the night is like it should be
The stars in the sky are puttin' on a show for you and me
I've got a lotta words to say if only I knew how
There may be another morning but there won't be another now
We were kids together and I've loved you all the years I've known you
With hungry eyes I've watched you as your young body has outgrown you
Somethin' deep inside of me makes me wanna show you how
There may be another morning but there won't be another now
I need you I want you I love you can't you feel it
If you won't give your love to me I just may have to steal it
Your eyes hold the secret and I like the look you're using
A certain look of innocent is fighting lust and losing
Slowly the oak tree disappears and the Willow starts to bow
There may be another morning but there won't be another now
You're the one that I've been waiting for
And there won't be another now
