Love Isn't Love (Till You Give It Away)

Ricci Mareno - Bobby Fisher

© Bobby Fisher Music, ASCAP

A smile's not a smile till it wrinkles your face
A bell's not a bell without ringing
A home's not a home when there's nobody there
A song's not a song without singing

Love isn't love till you give it away
Love isn't love till it's free
Love in your heart wasn't put there to stay
No love isn't love till you give it away
[ instrumental ]
You might think love is a treasure to keep
A feeling to cherrish and hold
But love is a treasure for people to share
You keep it by letting it go

Love isn't love till you give it away...

Love can't survive when it's hidden inside
And love was meant to be shared

Love isn't love till you give it away...

Is It Really Love

Rita Gannon - Don Scott Hare

© Dune Grass Music, ASCAP

They say that it's the same the whole world over
That love's the hardest thing to understand
I thought once in love my troubles would blow over
But it seems that's when the heartache just begins
And I remember when you first said that you love me
I tried not to let the words go to my head
The things you said you spoke so sincerely
Somewhere in between the lines of red

Is it really love is it really love or just my heart playing tricks on me
I fall so easily is my heart telling me that I'm your fool or is it really love

This time love's got me feeling so uncertain
But my heart's seen all the breaks that it can take
I can't tell you if this is just infatuation
Or another chance to learn from my mistakes

Is it really love...

I'm a little bit weary of the love 'em and leave 'em behind kind
I'm just a little bit weary cause other lovers like messing with my mind
Oh all the time

Is it really love...
Am I your fool or is it really love

Reasons

Reba McEntire

© Reba McEntire Music, ASCAP

I prefer yellow roses to daisies
I'll take the mountains over a postcard view
I'll order steaks every time instead of hot dogs
That's why I chose him over you

I like to love somebody and have somebody love me
I like happiness instead of being blue
I like to talk real late at night after making love
And that's the reasons I chose him over you
[ instrumental ]
Well I don't know how I ever did without him
I don't understand why I put up with you
Well I know that the sun shines the brightest when you're happy
And that's the reasons I chose him over you
So go ahead and think just what you want to

But I promise what I just told you is true
Oh I love him so much and he loves me too
And that's the reasons I chose him over you
Just some of the reasons I chose him over you over you

Nickel Dreams

Donny Lowery - Mac McAnally

© I've Got The Music, ASCAP

A little girl's dream world with ribbons
And long curls reflections of yesterday's past
Now headlines and foot lights the hours of long nights
Keep everything moving so fast

It's taken a long time and she's walked a thin line
The fame and fortune arrived
She kept on striving halfway surviving
Till part of those dreams came alive

And she wishes she looks like they tell her she looks all the time
What she'd give just to feel like she tells them she's feeling just fine
And all that money she makes every night ain't as much as it seems
A dollar a wrinkle and less then a nickel a dream
[ instrumental ]
Her heart may be breaking but she keeps on taking
What she thought she wanted back then
It's too late to change her there's always a stranger to tell her
She's someone again

And she wishes she looks like they tell her...
Nickel a dream nickel a dream

One Good Reason

Bob DiPiero - Johnny McRae

© Music City Music, ASCAP

You said you were out with a friend
Well your friend left her lipstick in your car again
That mark on your neck didn't get there from shaving
I got a feeling you've been misbehaving

So give me one good reason why I should stay
Just one good reason not to walk away
Must be open season on cheatin' and a teasin' why do you do me this way
Just give me one good reason to stay and I'll stay
[ instrumental ]
You tell me your love is true
Well is that what you tell all the other girls too
You can't tell the truth babe you're not even trying
I got a feeling you're just alibing

So give me one good reason why...
So give me one good reason why...
So give me one good reason why...

You Really Better Love Me After This

Sharon Vaughn - Bill Rice

© Swallowfork Music, ASCAP

Your letter found me here in Denver I've changed though since I've been here
Now I've learned there's more to life than your promises
There's someone here in Colorado I won't forget tomorrow
So you really better love me after this

On a bus somewhere in Kansas heading home to take my chances
Lord I hope this time you mean the things you say
I won't say this is the last time and let you play with my mind
But you really better love me after this

Cause after all the pain we've been through after all the chances we blew
Doesn't really mean that much to you but you really better love me
[ instrumental ]
As the bus pulls in the station I can see you waitin'
And I believe we both forget what we can't forgive
Now we're holding to each other I can feel my heart recover
And I know you'll gonna love me after this

Cause after all the pain...
For you're really gonna love me

There Ain't No Future In This

Sharon Vaughn - Bill Rice

© Swallowfork Music, ASCAP

Honey I know you tried when you loved me tonight
But her memory slipped from your lips
So if she's on your mind that much of the time
There ain't no future in this

There was somebody who took a whole lot of you
And I guees you're not over it yet
If I'm just standing in for a memory
Then there ain't no future in this

Cause mine are the arms that hold you
But hers are the arms you miss
So if she's still the one when it's all said and done
There ain't no future in this
So if she's still the one when it's all said and done
There ain't no future in this

Why Do We Want What We Know

Don King - Dave Woodward

© Reba McEntire Music, ASCAP

Some come for the music some for romance
You gotta be with the boy that brought you to the dance
Then across the room there comes a casual glance
And you be making some dime even half the chance

Now some like to look and some like to touch
All the things that they can't have way too much
Some like to get real close to the flame
Once you feel the heat you know they're never the same

Why do we want what we know we can't have
Why don't we want what's in the palm of our hands
Why we're always lookin' at what's just out of our grasp
Why do we want what we know we can't have
[ instrumental ]
Well Susie was out drivin' her new Corvette
She hadn't made that second payment yet
She rear ended a Semi but not by choice
She was a rubberneckin' a new Rolls Royce

Oh why do we want what we know we can't have...
Yeah why do we want what we know we can't have...

I Sacrificed More Than You'll Ever Know

Beverly Carlton - James Benton

© ATV Songs, BMI

I fed the children and I kissed them goodnight
You fed the jukebox till they turn out the lights
I bought the bacon while you bought booze
I've sacrificed more than you'll ever lose

We're needing new clothes with the money you spent
On barbills and motels and women you met
But I stood the heartache that you put me through
I've sacrificed more than you'll ever lose

I gave up so much and now I'm giving up you
It's too late to make up for the love that you used
[ instrumental ]
I've had enough I don't want you around
Don't look at me like I let you down
You say I'm to blame but who's fooling who
I've sacrificed more than you'll ever lose
Yeah I sacrificed more than you'll ever lose

Pins And Needles

Rick Carnes - Janis Carnes - Chip Hardy

© Refuge Music, ASCAP

Pins and needles needles and pins one by one I feel them at my heart again
I think I'm gettin' over you and then pins and needles needles and pins
I don't know why I get uneasy every time I hear your name
I feel a sting from every memory that we made

Pins and needles needles and pins one by one
I feel them at my heart again
I think I'm gettin' over you
And then pins and needles needles and pins
[ instrumental ]
That tiny ache can always find me anytime that you are near
Those little things can still remind me that you don't care

Pins and needles needles and pins one by one...
