WE'LL SING IN THE SUNSHINE

(Gale Garnett)
« © '64 Lupercalia Music, ASCAP »
I will never love you the cost of love's too dear
But though I'll never love you I'll stay with you one year
And we'll sing in the sunshine we'll laugh every day
And we'll sing in the sunshine then I'll be on my way

I'll sing to you each morning I'll kiss you every night
But darling don't cling to me cause I'll soon be out of sight
But we'll sing in the sunshine we'll laugh every day
And we'll sing in the sunshine then I'll be on my way

My daddy he once told me hey don't you love you any man
Just take what they may give you and give them what you can
And you'll sing in the sunshine we'll laugh every day
And you'll sing in the sunshine then you can be on my way

Now when our year has ended and I have gone away
You'll often speak about me and this is what you'll say
We know we sang in the sunshine well we laughed every day
Well we sang in the sunshine then she went on her way

We know we sang in the sunshine well we laughed every day
Well we sang in the sunshine then she went on her way

WAYS TO LOVE A MAN

(Billy Sherrill - Glenn Sutton - Tammy Wynette)
« © '69 Al Gallico Music, BMI / Algee Music, BMI »
There are so many ways to love a man
And so many things to understand
And if there ever comes a time you decide to change your mind
I'll need a way to hold you and I can
If I'll know all the ways to love a man

But there's so many ways to lose a man
So quickly he can slip through your hands
One little thing goes wrong then all at once he's gone
I have no way to hold him like I planned
It takes more than just one way to love a man

But my hands and my heart anything I can find
My child my home my soul my mind
I know that I'd can hold him yes I can
Cause I know all the ways to love a man

THAT'S A NO NO

(Ben Peters)
« © '69 Shelby Singleton Music, BMI »
You have quite good thing goin' with the girls you used to knowin'
You go up and down your list just like a yo-yo
And though it may be hard to stop it I'm afraid you'll have to drop it
Cause if you want me to love you that's a no no

I know you're used to goin' places where's there lights and painted faces
Where the dancing girls do something they call go-go
Well I don't want to spoil your fun now but if I'm the only one now
And if you want me to love you that's a no no

You know a no no means baby shouldn't touch
If baby really loves his mama so much

So if you can't resist 'em and they're not out of your system
And if there's some more wild oats you have to go sow
Just remember while you're sowin' I'll be a packin' up and goin'
Cause I've told you many times that that's a no no
[ steel ] You know a no no means baby shouldn't touch
If baby really loves his mama so much

So if some old flame starts burnin' or if you should get to yearnin'
To go back to where those women that you know go
Don't come home expectin' mama's a waitin' here in her pajamas
Cause I've told you many times that that's a no no
Oh you should know by now that's a no no
Yeah you should know by now that that's a no no

DAY OF OUR LOVE

(Jerry Lane - Ronnie Dawson)
« © '69 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
As surely as I watched the sun fall out of the sky
I saw the love you had for me die
And all of the world went wrong that once was so right
As the day of our love turned into night

As the sun was replaced by the moon there in the dark
A great pain replaced your love here in my heart
The pain like the moon becomes a reminder so bright
That the day of our love turned into night

If ever a new love should rise to shed its glow
What a day of joy my dark world would know
If someone with real love to give shines into my life
The day of our love will dawn so clear and bright
The day of our new love will dawn so clear and bright
The day of our love will dawn so clear and bright

WRONG NUMBER

(Liz Anderson)
« © '69 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Oh she asks for someone different everytime
But it's always that same voice there on the line
So I answer what's expected don't I dear
I say wrong number no one by that name lives here

How she hopes the one who answers will be you
When it's me she picks some name out of the blue
And it's all that I can do to hide the tears
And say wrong number no one by that name lives here

But I know all those wrong numbers can't be right
No one calls the same wrong number every night
Still instead of facing up to what I fear
I say wrong number no one by that name lives here

Tell me who are you supposed to be tonight
Are you Jimmy Jones or maybe Billy White
When she calls I'll hand the phone to you my dear
And say hold on I'll get him for you he's right here

But I know all those wrong numbers can't be right
No one calls the same wrong number every night
But you see I can no more hold back the tears
And say wrong number no one by that name lives here

But you see I can no more hold back the tears
And say wrong number no one by that name lives here

PARTLY BILL

(Vince Bulla - Steve Allen)
« © '69 Sue-Mirl Music, ASCAP »
There was an emptiness within my life along about the time he came along
And so I guess that you could say that when he came along he came on pretty strong
Cause back then suddenly it seemed to me the emptiness within me had been filled
And when I wondered what the reasons were I had to answer at least partly Bill
Partly Bill (partly Bill) partly Bill

I can remember hearing music with the pretty words of love he had to say
And I reacall the times of laughter and the joy that I felt on our wedding day
He was the only real fulfillment that the world has shown me yet and even still
I know that I'm a different person and a part of me is surely partly Bill
Partly Bill (partly Bill) partly Bill

But then the sad part of the story came when Bill just seemed to lose his love for me
And when he left me the effect on me was plain enough for anyone to see
But then when everybody asked me what was on my mind I shyly answered them
I said it's not a great big problem but I will admit the problem's partly him
Partly him (partly him) partly Bill

Now here I am and everybody thinks I'm all alone with no one to call mine
But I don't feel my life is empty all I need is just the passing of some time
I've got a special feeling deep inside me telling me that he is with me still
And when the baby grows up strong and tall I'll tell them all
That he is partly Bill Partly Bill (partly Bill) partly Bill

BATTLEGROUND

(Curly Putman)
« © '69 Tree Publishing, BMI »
No peace talks today not even a mention
So the war rages on with teardrops and tension
No foxholes to hide in from hurt that is flyin' all around
A scene of many battles our home's a battleground

Small children will be hurt they have no protection
From the cruelly spoken words that you throw in my direction
They've no defense so they just sit scared and alone without a sound
A scene of many battles our home's a battleground

If looks could kill then I would be mortally wounded
For hate roams this house and lonely consumes it
Peace and love that once lived here have fought and died and fell down
A scene of many battles our home's a battleground

So let's hope that it all will soon be over
And when it's over we can start over new

MAKING WAVES

(LaWanda Lindsey)
« © '69 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
You're throwing peebles of doubt in the river of my mind
They're making waves where peaceful waters flowed
Little ripples of fear that I'm losing you this time
Grow into raging tides that rock the boat

I tried to swim to shore and yet it's plain to see
The gulf between us growin' day by day
An undercurrant pulls it's surely drowning me
I cry for help but you keep making waves

Making waves that wash away a thing called me and you
A thing I tried so very hard to save
Making waves instead of love the way you used to do
I cry for help but you keep making waves

Making waves that wash away a thing called me and you...

I'LL JUST TAKE YOUR WORD FOR IT BABY

(Teresa Stamps)
« © '69 Sue-Mirl Music, ASCAP »
You're trying hard to tell me how
One night with you would make me vow
That I just never known how love could thrill before
You're telling me that your the best since Casanova and you guess
That I would be a fool to fight it anymore
I tell you what I'm gonna do to let you know your point of view
Has made a big impression to persuade me
I believe the words you say that this could be my lucky day
But I'll just take your word for it baby

I'll just take your word that any girl in this whole world
Would grab the chance that you have offered to me
I'll just take your word that no one else could kiss my lips
And make me feel like heaven's come down to me

The funny look that's on your face could win a ribbon any place
The best expression pure amaze and disbelief
But you'll just have to understand that I have found another man
And he thinks I'm the one who's made his life complete
Since you say I haven't lived until I've had what you can give
I tell you this and I just don't mean maybe
You can take your super charms and thrill somebody else's arms
But I'll just take your word for it baby
[ steel ] You can take your super charms and thrill somebody else's arms
But I'll just take your word for it baby
Yes I'll just take your word for it baby

WHAT SHOULD I CARE

(Cliff Williamson)
« © '69 16th Avenue Music, BMI »
My darlin' doesn't care a thing about me
And care is a thing that I need
He does care about this other girl
So would you tell me please what should I care

Well I care about the soothing wind
That steals a kiss and then gently sends
It over the way to my longin' self
To be taken in by all that I have left
[ steel ] I care for a dream and fantasyland
Filled with the full visions of my man
And one small flickering flame of hope
That one day he'd love and care for me

Well I care if the sunshine rays
Tumble to earth on winter days
And warm him with the love we shared
And it's warm golden arms of love and care
