I was a man hellbent on dyin'
Lost and givin' up on tryin'
A soul with no wings to go flyin' where everything's bright
I was all fed up with livin'
I didn't know I had a thing worth givin'
But you took me out of that prison and into your life
I was swept away swept away
The day I met up with you and felt your sweet heart
I am what I am today and I feel good this way
You took me into your life and swept me away
Nothin' could get me higher
I don't see how things could get any brighter
My load keeps gettin' lighter night after night
I haven't felt such love since Mother
It couldn't feel this way with another
It feels good when you and no other baby holds me tight
I was swept away swept away
The day I met up with you and felt your sweet heart
Yes I am what I am today and I feel good this way
Cause you took me into your life and swept me away
Swept away on your love sweepin' high oh so high
And my oh my it's a long way to where I was before
Where was I before I was swept away swept away
The day I met up with you and felt your sweet heart
I am what I am today and I feel good this way
You took me into your life and swept me away
You took me into your life and swept me away
You took me into your life and swept me away

We're playing the game of love win or lose
Playing the game of love smiles and blues
Heard all about it but we've just learned about those things we've heard
Playing the game of love
We're playing the game of love by the rules
Would not play the field that's not cool
All at once we're satisfied we got each other time
Playing the game of love
You have to be careful if you go out dancin' on tables
You're over and under sometimes a game can be fatal
Still we're playing this game of love and have no doubt
That playing the game of love what life's about
That lovin' feelin's always around you know we got it down
Playing the game of love
Playing the game of love
Playing the game of love

Will you welcome me if my key still fits
Or have I left you lonely too long
Guilty in the first degree Law says I'm free
I did my time and now I'm goin' home
Won't you pardon me pardon me
You're as guilty as me
Pardon me please pardon me
I'm forgivin' you so please pardon me
Are you a prisoner of a guilty heart
Maybe I can unlock the chains and set you free
Shamed in the third degree it ain't no felony
I'm forgivin' you so won't you pardon me
Pardon me pardon me
You're as guilty as me
Pardon me won't you pardon me
I'm forgivin' you I'm forgivin' you
I'm forgivin' you so please pardon me
[ instrumental ]
Pardon me
Pardon me
Won't you pardon me
I'm forgivin' you

Meeting in smoky places hiding in shadowy corners
Dancing where no one knows our faces
Sharing love stolen in the night in smoky places
Oh how I cried on your wedding day
I cried like my heart would break
Now you regret your wedding day
Now you pay for your sad mistake
Meeting in smoky places hiding in shadowy corners...
Some sunny day he would set you free
Please be by my side
One sunny day he would set you free
Till then we'll be satisfied
Meeting in smoky places and hiding in shadowy corners...

Not everyone knows how sweet your kiss is
Not everyone knows how warm your hand is
How soft your lips are and when you like to take your time
How sweet your love flows not everyone knows
Not everyone knows what your favorite song is
Not everyone knows what your idea fond is
The things that you laugh at and the things that make you cry
Your highs and lows not everyone knows
What's everybody sayin' doesn't matter too much
The best part of love doesn't show
The feelin' we feel when we touch is such
That we're the only ones who would know
What's between you and me is ours together
It's easy and free and keeps gettin' better
We're not trying to hide no anything no everything shows
What makes it grow not everyone knows
Not everyone knows
Not everyone knows
Not everyone knows

I been tryin' to get in touch with you
And there's been no answer through the day
I called early this mornin'
At noon and now the evenin's burned away
I been doin' this every day now for a week
And now my hope's are about to fall
You better answer this time
Or baby this is my last call
I been wantin' to hear your voice again
Tryin' to straighten out everything
But I'm slammin' down the phone
And thinkin' the kind of thoughts I hate to think
I thought that our relationship
Was one that nothing could halt
But I guess that I was wrong
So baby this is my last call
Now I won't bother you
If you're busy with someone else
Ah but I would like to know
If I'm in or out in or out
[ instrumental ]
Now I'm gettin' that same old ring again
I just about had enough of telephones
It's up to you now baby
If you want to talk to me maybe I'll be home
If you haven't heard from me
Well honey it hasn't been my fault
Cause I've tried and tried again
And like a fool I'll try again
After all I've got to talk to you
So tomorrow I'll try again
But today this is my last call

Take me back to California with you
Let me meet all your friends back there
I'm sure that I could get along with them
I can feel it every time I look at you
North or West East or Southern California
Anywhere round a ???? would be just fine
Don't know what it's known for it slips me
But right now California's known for you
There's no way around this
It's love what a sweet surprise
I found gold when I looked in your eyes
California's got somethin' for me
Now I never thought much bout California
I been so happy right here in Tennessee
Oh but since I've met you you've changed things
Wanna be wherever you're gonna be
And so now I plan on goin' to California
I'm so anxious to see that ocean behind you
And maybe we will grow closer California
If I could have my dream come true
Yes there's no way around this...

Me and my honey been happy goin' on some time now
Me and my honey went to the store today to get food
Me and my honey took our little girl for a ride
Picked up some seedin' blocks out in the woods
Me and my honey we got it all together
Me and my honey we're goin' to make it last
Me and my honey we're like two lovebirds together
Me and my honey and our baby we're growin' up fast
[ instrumental ]
Me and my honey we know we got a good thing goin'
Me and my honey get along unusually fine just fine
Me and my honey just naturally love all the holidays
Love to take pictures of our baby when she has a good time
Me and my honey we got it all together
Me and my honey we're goin' to make it last
Me and my honey we're like two lovebirds together
Me and my honey and our baby we're growin' up fast so fast
[ instrumental ]
That's all folks
