YOU AIN'T WOMAN ENOUGH (TO TAKE MY MAN)
(Loretta Lynn)
« © '65 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
You've come to tell me somethin' you say I ought to know
That he don't love me anymore and I'll have to let him go
You say you're gonna take him oh but I don't think you can
Cause you ain't woman enough to take my man
Women like you they're a dime a dozen you can buy 'em anywhere
For you to get to him I'd have to move over and I'm gonna stand right here
It'll be over my dead body so get out while you can
Cause you ain't woman enough to take my man
[ dobro ]
Sometimes a man's caught lookin' at things that he don't need
He took a second look at you but he's in love with me
Well I don't know where that leaves you aw but I know where I'll stand
And you ain't woman enough to take my man
Women like you they're a dime a dozen you can buy 'em anywhere...
No you ain't woman enough to take my man

(Dolly Parton - Bill Owens)

Put it off until tomorrow oh oh you've hurt me enough today
You say our love is over that you have found another
You say you're goin' away
But leave me tomorrow oh oh you've hurt me enough today
You've hurt me enough today I can't believe the words you say
I must accept the fact you won't be coming back
So stay just one more day loneliness isn't far away
Put it off until tomorrow oh oh you've hurt me enough today
[ steel - piano ]
Put it off until tomorrow oh oh you've hurt me enough today

GOD GAVE ME A HEART TO FORGIVE
(Loretta Lynn - Barbara Cummings)
« © '66 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
It's midnight now and I'm still all alone
It's always late each night when you come home
I stay and take each heartache that you give
Cause God gave me a heart to forgive
Guess I could call these tears my closest friends
They stay with me till you come home again
You brought me ev'ry mis'ry that there is
But God gave me a heart to forgive
You hurt me as much as you can
Then you tell me that you're just weak like any other man
Still you're the only reason that I live
And God gave me a heart to forgive
[ steel ]
You hurt me as much as you can...

KEEP YOUR CHANGE
(Loretta Lynn)
« © '66 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
You need a change of scenery that's all I ever heard
And when you left and you said goodbye I never said a word
You're back but I don't want you back to you that might seem strange
But I ain't buyin' what you bought so honey keep your change
Yeah honey keep your change and the troubles that she brings
You've worked real hard for what you got so honey keep your change
[ steel - guitar ]
What happened to the scenery that look so good to you
Did you get tired of the change you made or did she get tired of you
You're like a travelin' salesman and I hear they're all the same
So travel right on back to her yeah honey keep your change
Yeah honey keep your change and the troubles that she brings...
Yeah honey keep your change and the troubles that she brings...
Yeah honey keep your change yeah honey keep your change

SOMEONE BEFORE ME
(Bobby Hicks)
« © '65 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
Someone before me still turns you inside out
When we're together she's all you talk about
You're always wanting me to do the things she used to do
Someone before me sure left her mark on you
I've tried to get inside your heart but I don't have a chance
Now I can see she's on your mind with ev'ry little glance
You're living on old mem'ries my love can't get through to you
Someone before me sure left her mark on you
[ piano ]
I've tried to get inside your heart but I don't have a chance...

DARKEST DAY
(Loretta Lynn)
« © '66 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
Darlin' when you told me you were leavin'
I thought that you were only foolin' me
But here I am to face ol' blue tomorrow
With a broken heart that's filled with misery
It seems that my world is to an end
Just dreamin' of things that might have been
Oh why don't that ole sun shine bright
Today's the darkest day of my life
(Oh that's Grady Martin)
[ guitar ]
Oh how I wish that ole sayin' is true
It's always darkest just before dawn
Then I know soon I'm gonna see the sunshine
I just can't take this darkness on and on
It seems that my world is to an end...

TIPPY TOEING
(Bobby Harden)
« © '65 Careers Music, BMI »
Well a mama go a tippy tippy toein' through the house
Goin' to see what's the matter with the baby
It's been a bawlin' and a squallin' and a kickin' on the wall
A well I guess it's dropped its little bottle maybe
Oh daddy come a runnin' with the water and a rag
Gonna need another little diaper maybe
No need a hesitatin' or a wonderin' and a waitin'
I know what's the matter with the baby
Oh mama rock a baby daddy rock a baby too
It's a yawnin' and a gettin' sleepy maybe
So mama keep a rockin' daddy rock a little too
And at last it's a sleepin' little baby
[ steel ]
Well mama tippy toein' daddy tippy toein' too
Gonna try to do a little sleepin' maybe
Whether it'll be a minute or an hour or two
Is depending entirely on the baby
Well I hear the clock a ringin' just a dongin' and a dingin'
Daddy go and make a little money maybe
Mama sleep a little longer but remember while he's gone
A won't you please take care of the baby
Oh mama rock a baby daddy rock a baby too...
And at last it's a sleepin' little baby
After all it's just a little baby after all it's just a little baby

TALKING TO THE WALL
(Warner McPherson - Bill Montague)
« © '66 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
Oh I might as well be talkin' to the wall
I've known so long with me you've been unsatisfied
So I finally found the strength to say goodbye
Why already I forgot a million memories
And leavin' you was easy as could be
But I might as well be talkin' to the wall
When I tell myself I'm not missin' you at all
Cause ev'ry time you come around I fall
And I might as well be talkin' to the wall
[ steel ]
It seems there's not a day that some friends of mine
Don't bring back a mem'ry I'll recall
Then I'll smile and say you know it's been a long long time
And I hardly remember him at all
But I might as well be talkin' to the wall...
Yes I might as well be talkin' to the wall

MAN I HARDLY KNOW
(Loretta Lynn)
« © '66 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
In a booth back in a corner
Where the lights are way down low
In the arms of a man I hardly know
I let the devil take over this heart of mine
When I lost your love well I almost lost my mind
I never thought I'd ever fall this low
But here I am with a man I hardly know
In a booth back in a corner...
[ steel ]
I do the things a proper lady wouldn't do
And it all started that first night when I lost you
To see me now you wouldn't know me I've changed so
Cause here I am with a man I hardly know
In a booth back in a corner...

IS IT WRONG (FOR LOVING YOU)
(Warner McPherson)
« © '61 Unichappell Music, BMI »
Is it wrong for loving you is it wrong for being true
Tell me darlin' tell me please is it wrong
Have I waited for so long has your love for me gone
Is it wrong is it wrong for loving you
Way down deep inside my heart you're the only love sweetheart
Yes the only true love I ever knew
But I ask myself inside no need telling myself lies
Is it wrong is it wrong for loving you
[ piano - steel ]
Is it wrong for loving you is it wrong for being true..

IT'S ANOTHER WORLD
(Richard D. Staedtler)
« © '65 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
It's another world when I'm with you
Roses ev'rywhere blue skies up above
Ev'rybody is in love
It's another world when I'm with you
And that's where I wanna be
Never a day goes by when I'm blue
There's no tears in my eyes when I'm with you
It's another world when I'm with you
Nights are made for love days are never long
Nothing nothing can go wrong
It's another world when I'm with you
And that's where I wanna be
[ steel ]
Never a day goes by when I'm blue
There's no tears in my eyes when I'm with you
It's another world when I'm with you
And it's here right now let me hold you close
Love you know just grows and grows
It's another world when I'm with you
And that's where I wanna be
