DUMB BLONDE

(Curly Putman) « © '66 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Don't try to fly your way out of this
Don't try to lie or I catch you in it
Don't try to make me feel sorry for you
Just because I'm blonde don't think I'm dumb
Cause this dumb blond ain't nobody's fool

When you left you thought I'd sit you thought I'd wait
You thought I'd cry you called me dumb blonde
Ah but somehow I live through it and you know
If there's one thing This blonde has learned
Blondes have more fun
You flew too high off of the ground
Pick stormy weather had to come back down
But I found new thread for my old spool
Just because I'm blonde don't think I'm dumb
Cause this dumb blond ain't nobody's fool
[ steel ] When you left you thought...

FUEL TO THE FLAME

(Dolly Parton - Bill Owens) « © '67 Combine Music, BMI »
(Fuel to the flame) You kindle the fire of love inside me each time our lips meet
I'm not strong when we're alone your kisses make me weak
You must know how I feel but do you feel the same
Every time you kiss me you add fuel to the flame

My eyes light up when I see you I burn with desire
Each time you're near you say you care but still I'm not sure
But please don't ask me to love you if you're not gonna change my name
Every time you touch me you add fuel to the flame

This fire you started inside of me has reached my very soul
You're adding fuel to a flame that's already burning out of control
When you give me your name I'll give you everything
Everytime you kiss me you add fuel to the flame
Yes everytime you touch me you add fuel to the flame

LITTLE THINGS

(Dolly Parton - Bill Owens) « © '66 Combine Music, BMI »
You never send me flowers or ever buy me candy
You never bring me pretty things when you come to see me
And you forgot my birthday oh I wish you could see
How I miss the little things that you don't do for me

You never say that I look nice or that you're proud of me
You overlook the little things that you should see
These little things are big enough to hurt
But too small to make me want to leave
But I do miss the little things that you don't do for me

Now how can I miss flowers that never reached my door
How can I taste candy that's still at the candy store
These little things mean a lot to me to you they may be silly
But I do miss the little things that you don't do for me
Yes I miss the little things that you don't do for me

COMPANY YOU KEEP

(Dolly Parton - Bill Owens) « © '66 Combine Music, BMI »
Yes you're known by the company you keep

You say you're doing nothing wrong and I don't believe you are
I'm only tryin' to help you sis before you go too far
Cause I think you're an angel but folks think that you cheat
Cause you're known by the company you keep

Please listen to your big sister I feel I know what's best for you
I feel that I must warn you that's the least that I can do
I'm not accusing you of anything I know it's fun you see
But you're known by the company you keep

The company you keep keeps you out too long
Mom and dad don't go to sleep until you get home
Sis you're gettin' in too deep you'd better look before you leave
Cause you're known by the company you keep

Sis you're gettin' in too deep the road of life is steep
And you're known by the company you keep

WHY WHY WHY

(Dolly Parton - Bill Owens) « © '67 Combine Music, BMI »
Why why why did you say goodbye
Why did you walk out on me
Cry cry cry I feel like I could die
Why did you go and leave me lonely

What did I do what did I say
To make you just walk out and leave me this way
Please come back and tell me what I did wrong
And I'll make it up to you if you'll just come back home

I'll try try try as each day goes by
To make you glad that you came back to me
No more goodbyes and no more tears to cry
Every day I'll try to make you happy
[ steel ] What did I do what did I say...

THERE'S SOMETHING FISHY GOIN' ON

(Dolly Parton) « © '66 Combine Music, BMI »
There must be something fishy goin' on

You said you were goin' on a fishing trip with some old friend
You said that you'd be home tonight somewhere around ten
Well here it is it's two o'clock and you're still not at home
I think there's something fishy goin' on

I think that I'm a sucker that's swallowing your line
I try to make myself believe that it's all in my mind
But you never ask me if I'd like to go along
So there must be something fishy goin' on

There's something fishy goin' on on these fishing trips you're goin' on
I'm gettin' tired of staying home alone
Some night when you come home and discover that I'm gone
You can bet there's something fishy goin' on

I guess some large-mouth bass left that lipstick on your shirt
I don't think you're a fisherman honey I think you're a flirt
Well if you're going fishing then why don't you bring them home
I think there's something fishy goin' on

There's something fishy goin' on...
Yes you can bet there's something fishy goin' on

PUT IT OFF UNTIL TOMORROW

(Dolly Parton - Bill Owens) « © '66 Combine Music, BMI »
(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 going 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
But I must accept the fact you won't be coming back

Oh stay stay just one more day loneliness isn't far away
Put it off until tomorrow oh oh you've hurt me enough today
Put it off until tomorrow oh oh you've hurt me enough today

I'M IN NO CONDITION

(Dolly Parton) « © '67 Combine Music, BMI »
Don't look at me with love in your eyes
Go look at somebody that can make it worth while
I'm hurtin' from a love affair I didn't want in
Now I'm in no condition to try to love again

Don't smile at me because it's no use
I don't have a smile but I can give to you
Someday you might look me up but let me be till then
For I'm in no condition to try to love again

I'm in no condition to try to love again
The man I love just broke my heart and it must have time to mend
He gave me the breeze now he's gone with the wind
Now I'm in no condition to try to love again
[ steel ] I'm in no condition to try to love again...
No I'm in no condition to try to love again

TOO LONELY TOO LONG

(Dolly Parton) « © '67 Combine Music, BMI »
No matter how you're tempted don't say yes to me
Don't make the slightest move to lead me on
It's just that I'm so lonely and I need someone
I've been too lonely too long

Oh please be strong enough to refuse me
Before I let myself do something wrong
But down inside I'm not that kind of woman
I've been too lonely too long

Oh please don't take advantage of the situation
For I'm afraid that I'm too weak to resist temptation
When you're used to being loved it's hard to live alone
I've been too lonely too long
I've been too lonely too long

AS LONG AS I LOVE

(Dolly Parton) « © '67 Combine Music, BMI »
Hurt is no stranger to me
And oh how well I know misery
You always hurt me but I always forgive
Ynd I'll hurt for as long as I love you
And I'll love you for as long as I live

Oh it's my fault for loving you so deeply
I give you my love completely
I give you love but hurt is all you give
And I'll hurt for as long as I love you
And I'll love you for as long as I live

For as long as I love you there'll be pain
Though tears come and go my love remains the same
I'll always forgive you you know that I will
And I'll hurt for as long as I love you
And I'll love you for as long as I live

Yes I'll hurt for as long as I love you
And I'll love you for as long as I live
