JUST BECAUSE
(Bob Shelton - Joe Shelton - Sid Robin)

Mhm just because you think you're so pretty
Yeah just because you think you're so hot
Yeah just because you think you got somethin'
Ain't nobody else has got
Hmm you caused me to spend all of my money
You laughed when they called me old Santa Claus
Well I'm tellin' you well baby I'm through with you
Because just because
[ guitar ]
Hmm there'll come a time when you'll be lonely
Yes there'll come a time when you'll be blue
Well there'll come a time you're gonna need somebody
To stay home and wait for you
Hmm you caused me to spend all of my money...

(Mae Boren Axton - Tommy Durden - Elvis Presley)

Well since my baby left me well I've found new place to dwell
It's down at the end of Lonely Street at Heartbreak Hotel
Where I'll be I'll be so lonely baby well I'll be so lonely I could die
Well although it's always crowded you can still find some room
For broken hearted lovers to cry there in the gloom
Well I'll be I'll be so lonely baby well I'll be so lonely I could die
Well the bellhop's tears keep flowing the deskclerk's dressed in black
They've been so long on Lonely Street they never will go back
Well I'll be I'll be so lonely baby well I'll be so lonely I could die
Well now if your baby leaves and you need a place to dwell
Go down at the end of Lonely Street to Heartbreak Hotel
Where I'll be I'll be so lonely baby well I'll be so lonely I could die
[ guitar ]
Well the bellhop's tears keep flowing...
Well now if your baby leaves and you need a place to dwell...

EASY TO FALL IN LOVE
(Conway Twitty - Jack Nance)
« © '59 Tree Publishing, BMI »
First you meet her on the street and then you see her in your sleep
Well it's so easy to fall in love
You'll find her love is good and true that she's the only girl for you
Well it's so easy to fall in love
But don't forget it takes both two to make love that's good and true
And then you'll find she loves you too and there's nothing left to do
Buy diamond rings and make some plans to go and see the preacher man
Well it's so easy to fall in love
But don't forget it takes both two...

MY ADOBE HACIENDA
(Lee Penny - Louise Massey)
« © '59 Peer International, BMI »
In my adobe hacienda
There's a touch just a touch but a touch of old Mexico
Cactus lovelier than orchids blooming in the patio
Soft desert stars and the strum of guitars
Make every evening seem so sweet
In my adobe hacienda life and love are more complete
[ guitar ]
In my adobe hacienda...
Soft desert stars and the strum of guitars...

HUGGIN' AND A KISSIN'
(Conway Twitty - Jack Nance)
« © '59 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Didn't know what I was a missin'
All those nights of a huggin' and a kissin'
Makin' love on a night in June
A lookin' at the stars around the silvery moon
The next day the sun was shinin'
The whole world had a silver linin'
No more nights alone and blue
No more nights makin' love without you
Last night we did our hearts command
We went to see the preacher man
Now I know what I've been a missin'
Too many nights without a huggin' and a kissin'
All around town it's been told now you wear a band of gold
If that's the way it was meant to be me for you and you for me
[ guitar ]
Last night we did our hearts command...
I need your (huggin' and kissin')
I gotta have your (huggin' and kissin')
Got to have your (huggin' and kissin')
Oh baby I need your (huggin' and kissin')

LONELY BLUE BOY
(Ben Weisman - Fred Wise)
« © '59 Chappell & Co, ASCAP / Erika Publishing, ASCAP »
My name should be trouble my name should be woe
For trouble and heartache is all that I know
Yes lonely lonely blue boy is my name
My life is an empty my heart has been torn
It must have been rainin' the night I was born
Yea lonely lonely blue boy is my name
Well I'm so I'm so afraid of tomorrow
And so tired so tired of today
They say that love is the answer
But love it never came my way
I might send a letter to someone unknown
And if you should find it and if you're alone
Oh well lonely lonely blue boy is my name
Remember lonely lonely blue boy is my name

BLUE MOON
(Lorenz Hart - Richard Rodgers)
« © '34 Robbins Catalog, ASCAP »
Once upon a time before I took up smiling I hated the moonlight
Shadows of the night like the poorest find beguilling
Seems flat as the moonlight
With no one to stay up for I went to sleep at ten
And life was a bitter cup for the saddest of all men
Blue moon you saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart without a love of my own
Blue moon you knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for someone I really could care for
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms could ever hold
I heard somebody whisper please adore me
When I looked to the moon it turned to gold
Blue moon now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart without a love of my own

ETERNAL TEARS
(Conway Twitty)
« © '59 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Well I have walked love's winding pathway
Seeking to find love's treasures untold
And just when I reached the end of my journey
I'd find that I have three last steps to go
The first step was heartache I took when you cheated
The next step was heartbreak he held you so near
The last step I'm taking now that you love another
Because you lie I cry these eternal tears
My fortune to love like rain from above
I never know eternaly I love you so
My journey is over now and I realized
These eternal tears forever I'll cry
My fortune to love like rain from above
I never know eternaly I love you so
My journey is over now and I realized...
My journey is over now and I realized
These eternal tears forever I'll cry
Eternal tears (eternal tears)

TROUBLE IN MIND
(Richard M. Jones)
« © '37 MCA Music, ASCAP »
Trouble in mind I'm blue but I won't be blue always
For the sun's gonna shine in my backyard someday
Trouble in mind that's true I have almost lost my mind
Life ain't worth livin' I feel like I could die
I'm gonna lay my head on some lonesome railroad line
Let that old 2-19 special peace my trouble mind
Trouble in mind I am blue and my heart's beatin' slow
I've never seen such trouble in my life before oh yeah
[ guitar - piano ]
Trouble in mind I'm blue but I won't be blue always...
