LONELY WOMEN MAKE GOOD LOVERS
(Freddy Weller - Spooner Oldham)
« © '72 Careers Music, BMI »
Lonely women make good lovers
They're all at mercy of a good looking smooth talking man
Lonely women make good lovers
So if you got a woman better treat her just as good as you can
Lots of times a lonely girl will go out on the town
With no thought of evil on her mind
But she don't try to plant bad seeds
But there's something every woman needs
And a friendly smile will do it every time
Cause lonely women make good lovers...
Once a woman's tasted love she can't do without it
She'll search for something warm when she gets cold
And if her lips are wet with wine when it comes to loving time
She'll trade her pride for something warm to hold
Cause lonely women make good lovers...
Yeah lonely women make good lovers...

I'M GONNA WRITE A SONG
(Glenn Sutton)
« © '71 Peer Music, BMI »
Folks sit around with their face in a frown and gripe about the way things they are
They're happy to recieve but they hardly ever want to give
I'm so tired of complaining so in the time remaining
Gonna do my best to make the world a better place to live
And I'm gonna write a song that the whole wide world can sing
Yeah It's gonna be about sunshine and praise every living thing
It's gonna be about love the only thing the world needs a lot more of
And I'm gonna write a song that the whole wide world can sing
[ piano - steel ]
Our fourfathers had only faith in God and they willed to make the nation strong
So the old time religion could help 'em to find a better way
We need more soul saving and a lot more people flag waving
And there's no better time for us to start than today
Oh I'm gonna write a song...
Oh I'm gonna write a song...
Oh I'm gonna write a song...

DELTA DAWN
(Alex Harvey - Larry Collins)

Delta Dawn what's that flower you have on
Could it be a faded rose of days gone by
And did I hear you say he was a meetin' you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky
She's forty-one and her daddy still calls her baby
And all the folks around Brownsville still say she's crazy
Cause she walks downtown with a suitcase in her hand
Looking for a mysterious dark haired man
In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn
The prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on
But a man of low degree stood by her side
And he promised her he'd take her for his bride
Delta Dawn what's that flower you have on...
Delta Dawn what's that flower you have on...
Delta Dawn what's that flower you have on...
Delta Dawn what's that flower you have on...

I can feel a strange vibration that I've held her on before
I can feel a a new sensation woman my love's knocking on your door

Oh my love let me take you farther than you've gone before
Cling to me I won't forsake you woman I just want to love you more
Yesterday I thought you loved me...

(Johnny Horton - Tillman Franks)

If you told me that you love me I'd feel so proud
Let me hold you honey I'd holler out loud
I'll never love another even if I can
Come to me baby I'm a one woman man
Won't you let me baby just kinda hang around
I'll always love you honey and I'll never let you down
I'll never love another even if I can
Come to me baby I'm a one woman man
[ fiddle ]
You'll take the high rollin' I'll take the low road
Baby please understand
Already made my mind up no made where we wind up
Honey I'm a one woman man
Won't you let me baby just kinda hang around...
[ banjo ]
Won't you let me baby just kinda hang around...
Come to me baby I'm a one woman man

IT TAKES YOU
(Jerry Foster - Bill Rice)
« © '72 PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
I feel love anytime that you're around
But when I'm gone it don't take much to bring me down
Till I'm home I'll be true as I can be
Don't you know only one love pleases me
It takes you and no other lovin' will do
It takes you I don't love nobody but you
My one only (it takes you) when I'm lonely (it takes you)
It takes you
Don't you know you mean more than life to me
We've got love and that's all we'll ever need
Please believe you're the only one for me
Hold me close and I'll put your mind at ease
It takes you and no other lovin' will do...

Easy lovin' so sexy lookin'
I know from the feelin' that it comes from the heart
Easy lovin' everyday's things givin'
To count all my blessings I wouldn't know where to start
Everytime I look you over so real to life it seems
Upon your pretty shoulders there's a pair of angel wings
Easy lovin' seein's believin'
Life with you's like livin' in a beautiful dream
Everytime I look you over...
Easy lovin'

Look at me walking free day and night
Here I come I'm the one to treat you right
I'm a walkin' honeycomb complete with candy kisses
Woman come along you don't want to miss the sugar man
I can make lemon sweet yes I can
I can make trick a treat yes I can
I'll make your dreams come true I'll do what I can
And baby when I do you can say you knew the sugar man
When the temperature drops call the heater man
When the water stops you call the plumber man
When you're feelin' lonely you know who to see
Look in the yellow pages of your directory call on me
I'm your sugar man I'm your sugar man
I'm your sugar man I'm your sugar man

SOMEONE TO GIVE MY LOVE TO
(Jerry Foster - Bill Rice)
« © '72 PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
I could search from now to the end of time
And never find another you
I'm so glad because I know you're mine
Someone to give my love to
I believe my love that you're one of the kind
For there's no one else like you
You're the light of my life so let it shine
Someone to give my love to
I find happiness is loving you
I'll do my best to make your dreams come true
I will follow you to the end of the earth
For my place will be with you
I have taken you for better or worse
Someone to give my love to
I find happiness is loving you...
Days of man-and-wife-time are precious few
I will spend them all with you
And beyond forever I'll make for you
Someone to give my love to
Mhm mhm mhm mhm
