THIS TIME THE HURTIN'S ON ME

(Dallas Frazier - Sanger D. Shafer) « © '72 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Like when your patience at time to forgive me
Like when your heart had more love than I could spend
Like when I still have the chance to say I'm sorry
I kept right on tearin' down dreams forgettin' then

This time there's too many pieces
This time there's nothing to say
This time I'm feeling the high cost of leaving
This time the hurtin's on me
[ steel ] When I had the priviledge of calling you darling
I only used this for my selfish needs
The chance of the lifetime is the one that I wasted
The dream that I shattered is falling on me

This time there's too many pieces...

PERFECT STRANGER

(Lorene Allen - Kenny Starr) « © '72 Coal Miners Music, BMI »
From the start I took the sweet love that she gave me
And gave no thought to what tomorrow bring
I only gave her what I had to give her
Then she met someone who gave her everything

A perfect stranger walked right into her world
A stranger who was perfect in her eyes
He understood just what it took to take her
And keep her happy with him at his side

Just think a perfect stranger someone who just met her
Can understand her better than I do
He always tries to please her lets her know he needs her
And that's something that I know I didn't do
[ steel + fiddle ] If I only had a chance again I'd take her
Away from him like he took her from me
But I can see that chance for me is over
Cause her perfect stranger loves her perfectly

To think a perfect stranger someone who just met her...
And that's something that I know I didn't do

ELEVEN ROSES

(Lomar Morris - Darrell McCall) « © '72 Bocephus Music, BMI »
I guess you noticed there is only eleven roses
I chose them from our garden where they grew
Take the roses and look into the mirror
And the twelfth rose will be looking back at you

There's just something about a spray of roses
To a woman they say more than man can say
After what I've done you may not keep the roses
But I just thought I would sent them anyway

There's just something about a spray of roses...

After what I've done you may not keep my roses
But I just thought I would sent them anyway

LAND CALLED LOVE

(Billy Deaton - Len J. Pitts - Hilda Young) « © '72 Court Of Kings Music, BMI / Faron Young Music, ASCAP »
There's a place I've always wanted to go
That I've never had a chance to see
I first heard about it a long time ago
And I'd like to take you there with me

Cause it's a place where happy hearts grow on trees
Lovebirds sing pretty melodies
A love light's always shining up above
A place where hearts never break and dreams don't die
You'll never have to see you cry
If you'll let me take you to a land called love

I fianlly found the one I was dreamin' of when I first kissed your sweet lips
And it looks like the door to a land called love is at my fingertips
You turned on your brand new kind of light in the middle of my darkest day
And if you'll take one more step tonight I'll carry you the rest of the way

Straight to a place where happy hearts grow on trees...
Just take my hand and let me take you to a land called love

NO PAINLESS WAY

(Rayburn Anthony - Bill Rhodes) « © '72 Faron Young Music, ASCAP »
The time has come for not so happy ending
And these last time tears won't stay locked up inside
Some words will hurt no matter how you say them
There's just no painless way for your lips to say goodbye

Don't feel so bad cause loving you has hurt me
Oh it made me feel so good so many times
Don't think you fell in the way if you'd like to tell me
There's just no painless way for your lips to say goodbye

You could have told me we'll work it out tomorrow
Oh but what we've had so long won't let you lie
Love me once more and kiss away my sorrow
There's just no painless way for your lips to say goodbye

YOU SHOULD DO THE CALLING

(Jerry Chesnut) « © '72 Tree Publishing, BMI »
You repair to her as just the other woman
And to you there's only one thing I should do
I could simply call and tell her I won't see her anymore
And I know you feel I owe that much to you

You should do the calling ask her why she wanted me
Wouldn't you love to know what will her answer be
Maybe she found something good in me you couldn't see for looking
Ask her what she ever saw in me
[ steel ] Tell her all about these four walls that surround you
Tell her all the big important things you've missed
Tell her weddin' rings little things like children
Ask her why she'd ever envy things like these

You should do the calling...
Yes you should do the calling not me

SHE FIGHTS THAT LOVIN' FEELING

(Jack Adams) « © '72 Rambling Rose Publishing, ASCAP »
She is filled with mixed emotions
From a need that keeps messin' up her mind
And she finghts the gentle pressures
That keep pullin' on her heart strings all the time
She does fine until somebody's touch wakes the sleeping passions inside of her
And she fights that lovin' feeling until I can love the fight right out of her

She was turned into a woman
By a man and her love for him was strong
Then the love she knew was shattered
When she woke up one day and found him gone
But the craving for somebody's love is still ever present in her world
And she fights that lovin' feeling until I can love the fight right out of her

It's so hard for her not to act like a woman
When all her lovin' feelings begin to stir
She prays for the love she remembers
And she fights that lovin' feeling until I can love the fight right out of her
And she fights that lovin' feeling until I can love the fight right out of her

IT'S GONNA TAKE A LITTLE BIT LONGER

(Ben Peters) « © '72 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
Baby it's gonna take a little bit longer
For me to ever get you off of my mind
Baby it's gonna take a little bit longer
Cause I've been lovin' you a long long time

People try to tell me that it won't be long
Till I won't even miss you anymore
But I can tell them it must be something mighty wrong
Caue every day I want you even more

And baby it's gonna take a little bit longer...
[ steel - strings ] They say this lonely feeling it'll go away
But after all this time now it ain't gone
Every weaken moment and every night and day
It just seems to keep on keeping on

Baby it's gonna take a little bit longer...
Yes I've been lovin' you a long long time

MAYBE

(Jack Marshall - Farnon Young) « © '72 Faron Young Music, ASCAP »
Standin' in the field lookin' at a small dark cloud above my head
And the cloud is blockin' out the sun and fillin' up my mind with things I've read
Everything is bright as summer in my little tiny world of space
All except the one small memory that my mind just won't erase

Maybe she'll be needin' her some time to do some thinkin'
Maybe she'll be wantin' to be free
And maybe on a cold and rainy day in the winter
Maybe she'll be comin' back to me

It's not like a normal land to let this thing keep hangin' in my brain
I have given it the time it needs the hill so it won't come back again
But everytime I come back to this little spot that we called our place
The small dark cloud comes back to block the sun that is shinin' on my face

Maybe she'll be needin' her some time to do some thinkin'...

And maybe on a cold and rainy day in the winter
Maybe she'll be comin' back to me

I'M IN LOVE WITH EVERYTHING

(Billy Deaton - Clyde Pitts - Virginia King) « © '72 Court Of Kings, BMI »
Every day would use a new day thanks to you there's not a blue day
Then she and love came my way my everything's been you
And I'll never try to change it no I wouldn't rearrange it
Cause I'm in love with everything and my everything's been you

If you could look through my eyes you'd see why you're everything to me
You're always good and always true you're guiding light in everything I do
And if I can't help but show it you can't help but know it
I'm in love with everything and my everything is you

If you could look through my eyes you'd see why you're everything to me
You're always good and always true you're guiding light in everything I do
And if you can hear a bell ring and you can hear my heart sing
Cause I'm in love with everything and my everything is you
Cause I'm in love with everything and my everything is you

LOST ALONG THE WAY

(Bobby Harden) « © '72 Faron Young Music, ASCAP »
Love has been a lonely road for you to travel
But darling I will love and dry your tears away
And in these arms I know you'll find
The love you've searched for all the time
Fate was sending you to me you just got lost along the way

He was good at first a telling you he loved you
But as he turned out he was good at telling lies
This kind always leaves you when
He thinks of you as wearin' thin
Fate was sending you to me you just got lost along the way

So lay your head upon my shoulder and cry till you feel better
At last you're where you should have always been
I love you so just forget
The past with you before we met
Fate was sending you to me you just got lost along the way
Fate was sending you to me you just got lost along the way
