MY WOMAN'S MAN
(Ben Peters - George Richey)
« © '74 Al Gallico Music, BMI »
Her sweet good morning kiss tastes so good
And her loving starts my day off just the way it should
Just knowing I can reach out and hold my whole world in my hands
Makes me glad that I'm my woman's man
And when my day is over ours will start
When I lay my head upon her breast and feel her beating heart
No matter then what I've been through I know she'll understand
Lord I'm so glad that I'm my woman's man
She's the best I've ever had and she just keeps on gettin' better
Makes me wonder how I ever lived before I met her
And every time I reach out and hold my whole world in my hands
I'm so glad I'm my woman's man
Oh Lord I'm glad so glad that I'm my woman's man

I FORGOT TO REMEMBER TO FORGET
(Stan Kesler - Carl Feathers)
« © '55 Edward B Marks Music, BMI »
Oh I forgot to remember to forget her
But I can't seem to get her off of my mind
I thought I'd never miss her oh but I found out somehow
Lord I think about that girl almost all the time
The day she went away I made myself a promise
That I would soon forget we'd ever met
Oh but something something's wrong cause I'm so blue and lonely
I forgot to remember to forget
[ piano ]
The day she went away...
I forgot to remember to forget

(Freddie Hart)

Please listen I'm your conscience talking and I won't lie to you
We're good friends your heart and I and we know what's best for you
You love her but if you hurt her with the ones you'll hurt the most
So take warnin' now don't you leave her or we'll haunt you just like ghosts
So there were others before you because of pride she lied to you
Oh but a love for you is true and I don't see no wings on you
And you love her but if you hurt her with the ones you'll hurt the most
So take warnin' now don't you leave her or we'll haunt you just like ghosts

IT'S ONLY PAPER
(Freddie Hart)
« © '74 Combine Music, BMI »
Hello darlin' I just had to telephone
There's something I must tell you before your mailman comes along
Wrote you a letter after we quarreled yeserday
But I didn't mean to write it old jealousy got in the way
It's only paper tear it up please don't you read it
And if I call too late don't you believe it don't believe it
It's only paper words I didn't mean to write
Let me show how much I love you let me make it up tonight
Yes I know you're angry and I know you've got the right to leave
But it hurts so much to see you flirting right in front of me
And I know you didn't mean it it's just your little way of comin' on
But angel you don't know how much I love you forgive me I was wrong
It's only paper tear it up...
Let me show how much I love you pretty lady let me make it up tonight

TOGETHERNESS
(Freddie Hart)
« © '67 Tree Publishing, BMI »
When a lonely boy finds a lonely girl that's togetherness
Before I met you my whole world was blue that's loneliness
But love conqures all makes big trouble small and evens out of score
For togetherness makes loneliness walk right out the door
See a new mother's smile when she holds her first child togetherness
But break them apart and you'll break a heart that's loneliness
So please stay with me and I'll never be unhappy anymore
For togetherness makes loneliness walk right out the door
(Togetherness)

I'D LIKE TO SLEEP TILL I GET OVER YOU
(Roger Bowling)
« © '74 ATV Songs, BMI »
I'd like to sleep till I get over you
Lord I'd like to sleep away a few tomorrows
Then maybe I'll wake up not loving you
I hurt all over me each waking morn
I'd like to sleep till I get over you
I've tried everything from new loves to whiskey
But other loves can't take the place on you
And the whiskey only helps till I'm sober
I'd like to sleep till I get over you
But I know I have to sleep until forever
Sweetheart I'll be forever loving you
And it's only time that I don't have to miss you
I'd like to sleep till I get over you

LET'S CLEAN UP THE COUNTRY
(Freddie Hart)
« © '74 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Let's clean up the country that we're living in
Wash Ol' Glory's face so she can smile again
Divided we fall but united we stand
Let's clean up the country we live in
Remember when Amareca's heart was full of pride
We dressed her up in splendor and we all stood by her side
And no one dared to anger that eagle flying by
America's been good to us how could we make her cry
Let's clean up the country...
Remember that good feeling of wanting to belong
The future was a pretty picture life a happy song
Freedom and demogracy we all knew what it meant
And every mother's son he wanted to be President
Let's clean up the country...
[ guitar ]
Let's clean up the country we live in

Lady of my life helper of my hopes
Sweet darling of my dreams
What would I ever do without you
Woman of my world soother of my soul
Happy of my heart
I'm so glad that you're the lady of my life
Of all the things you are to me I guess the part I'm fondest of
Is that you always stand by me and give me every bit of your sweet love
Lady of my life knower of my needs
Willing of my wants
What did I ever do before you
Woman of my world heartner of my plans
Sharer of my schemes

I CAN'T BEGIN TO TELL YOU
(Michael Gordon - James V. Monaco)
« © '74 WB Music, ASCAP »
I can't begin to tell you just how much you mean to me
My world would end if ever we were through
And I can't begin te tell you how happy I would be
If I could speak my mind like I want to
I make such pretty speeches whenever we're apart
But when you're near the words I choose refuse to leave my heart
So I take the sweetest phrases this old world has ever known
And make believe I've said them all to you
So I take the sweetest phrases...

NOTHING'S BETTER THAN THAT
(Freddie Hart)
« © '74 Tree Publishing, BMI »
(Sweet angel baby) love you so much you blow my mind each time we touch
And when we're lovin' uh nothing's better than that
You are my lover you're my best friend my pot of gold my rainbow's end
Oh what a feeling nothing's better than that
We go so good together heaven's just a kiss away
Everytime we hold each other passion has a holyday
I found a brand new world filled with the pleasures of love
Now we've got everything nothing's better than that
We go so good together...
