Jeannie C. Riley is the biggest and hottest name in the Music business today. She is so dynamic that Little Darlin' Records has coined a new music term that applies to Jeannie: "Sock Soul". When this girl sings, that's exactly what you hear - Soul with a Sock to it. Little Darlin' Records is proud to have discovered this wonderful talent and to bring her to the music listening public first. Jeanie began recording for Little Darlin' about eighteen months before her big success. Other records were released on her by Little Darlin' which are available. Jeannie C. Riley is a young, beautiful little girl from Anson, Texas. She has a great future ahead of her and, again, we are proud to have been a part of it all.

HEART HE KICKS AROUND
(Johnny Paycheck)« © '67 Dream City Music, BMI »
It's a vicious circle he and I are loving in
He loves everyone around but me
Each time he leaves I say I'll never take him back again
He comes back just when I'm feelin' weak
There goes my heart playing the part
Of the most foolish heart in this whole town
There goes my heart playing the part
Of the heart he knows that he can kick around
[ harmonica ] I don't know what possesses me to think he'll change
I take him back and he proves me wrong every time
Yet I can't follow through with all the plans I made
For if I really lost him I'd lose my mind
There goes my heart playing the part...

NEGLECTED
(Ray Buzzeo)« © '67 Ray Shirl Music, BMI »
Don't look at me that way you might destroy this tortured mind
I haven't been kissed or held like this in such a long long time
Don't hold me so close to you
And look at me I know what you're thinking of
Yes I've been neglected and I'm starving for love
I'm neglected by the one that once thrilled me in everyway
Neglected and with temptation I grow weaker by the day
So don't hold me close to you
And look at me I know what you're thinking of
Yes I've been neglected and I'm starving for love
[ piano ] I'm neglected by the one that once thrilled me in everyway...

I'LL BE A WOMAN OF THE WORLD
(Jeannie C. Riley)« © '67 Dream City Music, BMI »
You look at me with respect and admiration
You look at her with hunger and starvation
But you say she's no good she's a woman of the world
Well your good girl's tired of bein' good while you're with her in her world
You want my dress below my knees and never up above 'em
She wears her mini-skirts up high and on her you love 'em
You say she's just a thing for kicks she'd never make a wife
Well your good girl's tired of waitin' and I'm gonna change my life
You say I'm in your heart yet she's in your arms each night
Respect can't keep me warm nor admiration hold me tight
So take one last look at your good ole fashion girl
Cause the next time you see me I'll be a woman of the world
[ steel ] Well I can see that bein' good is gettin' me nowhere
So I'll paint up my face and I'll let down my hair
Go find another good girl then come join in my new world
She can wait at home while you're out with this woman of the world
You say I'm in your heart yet she's in your arms each night...

I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING HERE
(Dale Morris)« © '67 Dream City Music, BMI »
Well here we are together it's the first time in my life
I have no business being here I'm someone else's wife
But I like the way you look at me and the way you call my name
I don't know what I'm doing here but I'm so glad I came
I don't know what I'm doing here I should be in our home
I need love and affection I don't want to be alone
I know two wrongs don't make a right but our needs are just the same
I don't know what I'm doing here but I'm so glad I came
[ steel ] A woman craves affection she needs that from a man
My husband doesn't give me this and I know now you can
Tomorrow's dawn is drawing near I feel the guilt and shame
I don't know what I'm doing here but I'm so glad I came
I don't know what I'm doing here I should be in our home...

HOW CAN ANYTHING SO RIGHT BE SO WRONG
(Jeannie C. Riley)« © '67 Dream City Music, BMI »
My troubled mind had planned to tell you no
I'd stay here at home where I belong
Then the phone starts to ring and my heart begins to sing
How can anything so right be so wrong
The words I planned to say I can't recall
Your voice only makes my love grow strong
My conscience whispers no but my resistance is low
How can anything so right be so wrong
My excited mind is searching for a reason
To get away again tonight from home
I know it's wrong to cheat but our love I can't defeat
How can anything so right be so wrong
I feel so wrong at home knowing that I broke my vows
But when I'm in your arms I feel so right somehow
Right or wrong I know it's true I can't stop seeing you
But how can anything so right be so wrong

YOU WRITE THE MUSIC I'LL WRITE THE WORDS
(Ray Buzzeo)« © '67 Ray Shirl Music, BMI »
Let's write a song about the love that grew and then just died
We'll tell about the times we laughed and the times we cried
And it will be the saddest song that's ever heard
You write the music I'll write the words
you can tell of the love we knew with some pretty melody
I'll tell how it all ended in that awful tragedy
And it will be the saddest song that's ever heard
You write the music I'll write the words
[ steel ] We'll tell about the way we used to live in harmony
Until that stranger came along and knocked you out of key
Then all at once a trio had occurred
You write the music I'll write the words
You can tell of the love we knew with some pretty melody...
You write the music I'll write the words

WHAT ABOUT THEM
(Janet Davis)« © '67 Ray Shirl Music, BMI / Weldee Music, BMI »
What about her what about him
What about the hearts we're gonna break
Oh I love you but what about them
What about him I made vows I'm not forsakin' them
What about her you made vows that were the same
What about the hearts we're gonna break when we tell them
that we're in love and we regret we brought them shame
Yes what about her what about him...
[ harmonica ] I can't forget the night we danced you held me tightly
We fell in love and how you set my heart aglow
What about the flames within in our hearts that keep on burning
I love you and you love me that's all I know
But what about her what about him...
Yes I love you but what about them

OR IS IT LOVE
(Ray Buzzeo)« © '67 Shirl Ray Music, BMI »
Each time you touch me that little tingle goes up and down my spine
I feel a trembling on my lips when you press your to mine
And these butterfiles won't let me keep at suppertime
Have I lost my mind or is it love
You make my heart beat until it's sounding like it's all over time
The chill of winter goes up and down me but it's still summertime
And what am I walking way up on this cloud so high
Have I grown wings to fly or is it love

NO ONE EVER LOST MORE
(Erwin King - Harry Carlson)« © '67 Bienstock Publishing, ASCAP / Quarter Music, ASCAP / Streets Of Gold Music, ASCAP »
No one ever lost more than I lost when I lost you
No one ever lost more when you left for someone new
She meant more to you than me so you told me starry eyed
Leaving my heart to cry tears as you walked from my side
Goodbye to heaven was all that I could say
As I heard your footsteps softly fade away
But if you should lose her heart then you'll know what I've been through
And you'll know how much love I lost when you left and I lost you
[ dobro ] Goodbye to heaven was all that I could say...

ONE SLIGHTLY USED WEDDING BAND
(Ray King - Rose Lee)« © '67 Dream City Music, BMI / Careers Music, BMI »
How much would you give me Mister pawnbroker
For this one slightly used wedding band
The parting will bring sorrow I can't face life tomorrow
With this one slightly used wedding band
Just one slightly used wedding band
The symbol of love's great command
Like this ring that I hold all our love turned just as cold
As this one slightly used wedding band
You see sir that's all he left me this and a memory
Of a love that was born of a lie
Pardon me for crying so tell me are you buying
This one slightly used wedding band

PRICE I PAY TO STAY
(Ed Bruce)« © '67 Dream City Music, BMI / Careers Music, BMI »
There was a time I really thought it did some good
To get down on my knees to you and I would
But baby now that's all changed today's a brand new day
And you ain't worth the price I pay to stay
Just because you're the best looking man that I've ever seen
Ain't reason enough to have to treat you like a king
There's a harder lesson you need to learn and it might as well be today
Baby you ain't worth the price I pay to stay
I'm tired of tryin' to turn the other cheek to you
And never knowin' which way to turn cause you've made up
A brand new set of rules
Somewhere I picked up a little more pride than I had yesterday
Baby you ain't worth the price I pay to stay
[ dobro ] I'm tired of tryin' to turn the other cheek to you...

DEAF DUMB AND BLIND
(Jack Rhodes - Faye Keys - Larry Grounds)« © '67 Dream City Music, BMI / Careers Music, BMI »
A consciense never speaks above a whisper
And mine would have to shout for me to hear
I only ask again where can I meet you
And a voice within me cries into deaf ears
I'm deaf dumb and blind to what I'm doing
And you know that I'm yours at your command
I'm deaf dumb and blind to all the danger
And it takes a fool in love to understand
[ steel ] Just call tonight I'll find some way to see you
I know I'm like a child that plays with fire
My racing cart I'm sure could win a trophy
Our love is mixed with something called desire
I'm deaf dumb and blind to what I'm doing...
