OTHER SIDE OF YOU

(William Broadwell Morgan) « © '64 Ronbre Music, BMI »
An introduction to the other side of you
Oh yes I'm finding out some things I never knew
Now all at once it seems you are a stranger
If I've been introduced to the other side of you

Tonight I overheard a conversation
By the ones who know the secret side of you
The things they said that you and her were doing
Makes it seem you're a man I never knew

An introduction to the other side of you...
[ steel ] As I listened to the ones who know you better
And the things they said about you hurt me bad
I told myself that they could be mistaken
But still I can't forget the things they said

An introduction to the other side of you...

TINY BLUE TRANSISTOR RADIO

(Bill Anderson) « © '64 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
(On the tiny blue transistor radio)

He bought it for my birthday just one short year ago
This tiny blue transistor radio (radio radio)
We stayed up late and listened to the music soft and low
On the tiny blue transistor radio

And the man at the radio station made the special dedication
To Jimmy and the girl that he love so
We kissed each other gently as we listened so intently
To the tiny blue transistor radio
[ guitar ] And now just one year later his love for me is gone
He's out tonight with his new love I know (I know I know)
And I just heard them playin' the one we called our song
On the tiny blue transistor radio

And the man at the radio station made the special dedication
To Jimmy and the girl that he loves so
Her happy eyes are glistenin' while my sad heart is listenin'
To the tiny blue transistor radio my tiny blue transistor radio

ONCE A DAY

(Bill Anderson) « © '64 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
When you found somebody new I thought I never would
Forget you for I thought then I never could
But time has taken all the pains away
Until now I'm down to hurtin' once a day

Once a day all day long and once a night from dusk till dawn
The only time I wish you weren't gone
Is once a day every day all day long
[ steel ] I'm so glad that I'm not like a girl I knew one time
She lost the one she loved then slowly lost her mind
She sat around and cried her life away
Lucky me I'm only crying once a day

Once a day all day long...
Once a day every day all day long

HINGES ON THE DOOR

(Baker Knight) « © '64 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Well I feel just like an acord on an old flat top guitar
I've been used till I can't stand it anymore
You've been tended out of here so much to find you someone new
That you're wearin' out the hinges on the door

When I met you I'd have turned around and walked the other way
If I'd known how many heartaches were in store
Seems like all I do is hang around and watch you come and go
While you're wearin' out the hinges on the door

Well I don't know why I take it but I do
Well I guess it's cause I'm so in love with you
Each time that you find someone new you turn and walk away
Then just like the tide you slip right back to shore
Oh my darling if you love me stick around and let me know
And stop wearin' out the hinges on the door
[ steel ] Well I don't know why I take it...

DON'T FORGET I STILL LOVE YOU

(Guy Louis) « © '64 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
Don't forget I still love you every day we're apart
Someone else will be kissing you but you'll still be in my heart

Don't forget I still love you when her arms hold you tight
Just remember that I still care though I'm not with you tonight

When I told you I love you I promised I'd be true
And I'll keep that promise my whole life through

I could never forget you and how our love used to be
Goodbye my darling and don't forget you can always come back to me

I could never forget you...

DARLING ARE YOU EVER COMING HOME

(Hank Cochran - Willie Nelson) « © '64 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Once again it's twelve o'clock and you're still gone
Darling are you ever coming home
I don't mind this waiting for you while you're gone
But darling are you ever coming home

The wind outside is cold as my poor heart inside
Darling are you ever coming home
I love you much too much to worry bout my pride
Oh darling are you ever coming home

Just before I tucked them in the children questioned me
Why did daddy leave us all alone
But I've run out of answers you've been gone so long
Oh darling are you ever coming home

THEN AND ONLY THEN

(Bill Anderson) « © '64 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
In your haste you left and said you'd be returning
In my sorrow I forgot to ask you when
In my lonely room I sit and count the hours
Every minute hoping I'll look up and you'll come walking in

For then and only then will I stop crying
And this aching breaking heart of mine will mend
Not until I feel your arms around me
Well I'll be happy and I live for then and only then
[ steel ] All that's left inside my heart is just your echo
And the tiny thread of hope to which I cling
But if I keep holding on maybe some day
You'll remember where you left me and come back for me again

For then and only then...
And I'll live for then and only then

THRESHOLD

(Bill Anderson) « © '64 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
Many shoes have taken steps across the treshold
But no shoes were ever crowder than his
On the day he carried me across the treshold
And gave his brand new bride a wedding kiss

Now a hundred heartaches later at the treshold
All his love for me has vanished there's no doubt
And the lips that kissed me coming through the treshold
Stand there laughing now as I go walking out
[ steel ] I built my little world behind that treshold
I may not have made him happy but I tried
Still his eyes keep looking out across the treshold
For the happiness he thinks he left outside

Now I'm standing all alone at the treshold...
I hear him laughing now as I go walking out

IT'S JUST MY LUCK

(Betty Sue Perry) « © '64 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
It's just my luck to live when I'd much rather die
I'd end my life but I don't have the nerve to try
You're not worth the salt in each new tear I cry
And it's just my luck to love someone like you

It's just my luck to find I gave my heart away
To a man who has no heart and treats me any old way
My first bad luck came when I was born one day
And it's just my luck to love someone like you

Time after time this heart of mine you went and broke
Till love to me has come to be just a standing joke
You're not worth the salt in each new tear I cry
And it's just my luck to love someone like you till I die

I'M ASHAMED OF YOU

(Bill Anderson) « © '64 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
Heart I'm ashamed of you lips I'm ashamed of you
You've betrayed me and you've made me love him and he's not free
Arms I'm ashamed of you aching the way you do
I'm ashamed of you but mostly I'm ashamed of me

Eyes you looked right past his wedding band
And all you saw were lips you long to kiss
Fool you tucked him into holding hands
And now you've let him tarry up like this

Heart I'm ashamed of you...
[ steel ] Mind you let him drive me out of you
For you're made up to win his love somehow
Conscience ain't there something you can do
Cause if there is you'd better do it now

Heart I'm ashamed of you...

I DON'T LOVE YOU ANYMORE

(Bill Anderson) « © '64 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
I don't love you anymore not the way I did before
And since you've found someone new I think it's best
I don't cry and walk the floor I don't love you anymore
Trouble is I don't love you any less

I don't love you anymore for I've got no more love to give
You drained my heart of all its love with every sweet caress
I keep saying o'er and o'er I don't love you anymore
Trouble is I don't love you any less
[ guitar ] I held you close to me one time kissed your lips and called you mine
But another came and thrilled you more I guess
I cried as you walked out the door I don't love you anymore
Trouble is I don't love you any less

I don't love you anymore...
Trouble is I don't love you any less

TELL ANOTHER LIE

(Fred Wise - Randy Starr - Christian Bruhn) « © '64 Mills Music, ASCAP »
Tell another lie tell another lie
Cause that's all you know how to do
But some day you'll be crying just like me
When someone tells the same lies to you

Saying I'm the first was the first of many lies
You've known other loves in the past
It hurts not bein' first but the lies had hurt the worst
Twas when you said I'd be the last

Tell another lie tell another lie ...

Telling me you care was the second lie you told
Saying you'd be true was the third
It took a lot of lies but at last I realized
You didn't mean one single word

Tell another lie tell another lie ...
