I Can Help

Billy Swan

© Combine Music, BMI

If you got a problem don't care what it is
If you need a hand I can assure you this
I can help I got two strong arms I can help
It would sure do me good to do you good let me help

It's a fact that people get lonely ain't nothing new
But a woman like you baby should never have the blues
Let me help I got two for me let me help
It would sure do me good to do you good let me help

When I go to sleep at night you're always a part of my dream
Holdin' me tight and tellin' me everything I wanna hear

Don't forget me baby all you gotta do is call
You know how I feel about you if I can do anything at all
Let me help if your child needs a daddy I can help
It would sure do me good to do you good let me help
[ instrumental ]
When I go to sleep at night you're always a part of my dream
Holdin' me tight and tellin' me everything I wanna hear

Don't forget me baby all you gotta do is call...

Shake Rattle And Roll

Charles Calhoun

© Progressive Music, BMI

Get outta that bed wash your face and hands
Get outta that bed wash your face and hands
Well you get in that kitchen make some noise with the pots and pans

Way you wear those dresses the sun comes shinin' through
Yes you wear those dresses the sun comes shinin' through
I can't believe my eyes all of that belongs to you

I said shake rattle and roll
I said shake rattle and roll
I said shake rattle and roll
I said shake rattle and roll
Well you won't do right to save your doggone soul
[ instrumental ]
I believe to my soul you're the devil and now I know
I believe to my soul you're the devil and now I know
Well the more I work the faster my money goes

I'm like a one-eyed cat peepin' in a seafood store
I'm like a one-eyed cat peepin' in a seafood store
Well I can look at you till you ain't no child no more

I said shake rattle and roll...
I said shake rattle and roll...

The Stranger

Kris Kristofferson

© Resaca Music, BMI

Maybe she was smilin' in the mirror
Maybe I was too cause I was stoned
Singing ever sad song on the jukebox one more time
Honey they were sittin' close to home

And I said maybe this will make you think I'm crazy
But honey don't feel lonesome if you do
If you want to make a young man happy one more time
I'd sure like to spend the night with you

And she said stranger shut out the light and lead me
Somewhere shut out the shadows too
And while we lay there making believe you love me
Stranger could I believe in you

Maybe you got all you got together
Then maybe you keep rolling like a stone
Maybe some old lonesome song will take you by surprise
Leavin' you just a little more alone

She said stranger shut out the light and lead me...
She said stranger shut out the light and lead me...

Lover Please

Billy Swan

© Combine Music, BMI

Lover please please come back
Don't take the train comin' down the track
Don't please don't don't leave me
Don't leave me in misery

You wouldn't ever hold me so near
You wouldn't ever call me dear
Don't you know I'd die for you
Now you're gone that's what I'll do

Lover please please come back...
[ instrumental ]
Old old story not too long
About a love that went all wrong
The girl left the boy oh so bad
Now he's gone and she's so sad

So lover please please come back...
Lover please please come back...

Number One

Billy Swan - Marlu Swan

© Combine Music, BMI

You were conceived at the right time
Everything about you blows my mind
Thought I'd been in love before now
But I just got my foot in that door now

There's never been anyone like you for me
All the rest have been two's and three's
Darling from now on and on and on
You're gonna be Number one

Number one in my book and now in my life
Number one and you're still by my side
Number one is ways I've never known no
Before the Number one someone I love so
[ instrumental ]
Since you've come along life's been a joy
That's a turn around for this old boy
Yes over me and next to none
You gotta be the Number one

Over me and next to none
You gotta be the Number one

Don't Be Cruel

Otis Blackwell - Elvis Presley

© Shalimar Music, BMI

You know I can be found I'm sittin' home all alone
If you can't come around at least on the telephone
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true

Baby if I made you mad with somethin' that I might have said
Please let's forget the past for our future looks bright ahead
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true

I don't want no other love
Baby it's just you I'm thinking of
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true

Well let's walk up to the preacher and let us say I do
Then you'll know you'll have me and I know I'll have you too
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true

Why should we be apart
I really love you baby cross my heart
Cross my heart cross my heart
Cross my heart cross my heart

(You Just) Woman Handled My Mind

Billy Swan

© Combine Music, BMI

When I first saw you I didn't see much there
Then you flashed your eyes and I became aware
So when you walked away I followed behind
You just woman handled my mind

I used to make the rounds every night
Told everyone I'd never have a wife
Then you come along and in the mean time
You just woman handled my mind

It knocks me out the way you knock me out
When you really want to
But sometimes you hurt me you don't know it
See the things you don't know you do

Sometimes you make me feel like hittin' the wall
But then you kiss me I'm not mad at all
Sometimes it hurts sometimes it's fine
When you woman handle my mind
[ instrumental ]
It knocks me out the way you knock me out...

Sometimes you make me feel like hittin' the wall...

Sometimes it hurts sometimes it's fine
When you woman handle my mind
Handle my mind
Handle my mind

Everything's The Same (Ain't Nothing Changed)

Billy Swan

© Combine Music, BMI

You ran away and left me
Cause you thought you could hurt me
But I got news for you
I'm still strong and you were wrong to think your leavin' I turned blue

Everything's the same there ain't nothing changed
The sun still shines and the rain still rains
And I'm still me and you're still you too you see
Everything's the same there ain't nothing changed
[ instrumental ]
Since you've been gone I still do what I do
No I haven't changed my habits a bit
I still eat I still sleep I still go to work
And when my workday's done I quit

Everything's the same there ain't nothing changed...

Go cat
[ instrumental ]
Everything's the same there ain't nothing changed...

Just Want To Taste Your Wine

Bobby Emmons

© Youngun Pub, BMI

You're up in arms when our eyes meet you look the other way
And this got to get to know your feeling gets stronger every day
You're all involved with another you can't be mine
But I don't wanna burn your vineyards just wanna taste your wine

So put a little sip aside for me cause my cup is runnin' over for you
I don't know what it is he's got but I can give you something to compare it to
And if I lose to your first love he won't have to know we tried
Cause I don't wanna burn your vineyards just wanna taste your wine
[ instrumental ]
You're doin' fine you're intended you took that diamond ring
But I don't see that sparkle in your eye honey that real love brings
So look around fore you say those vows you're talkin' bout a mighty long time
And I don't wanna burn your vineyards just wanna taste your wine

So put a little sip aside for me cause my cup is runnin' over for you
I don't know what it is he's got but I can give you something to compare it to
And if I lose to your first love he won't have to know we tried
Cause I don't wanna burn your vineyards just wanna taste your sweet sweet sweet
Just wanna taste your wine

Do I Have To Draw A Picture

Billy Swan - Glen Clark

© Combine Music, BMI

Don't you know why I dialed your number by mistake
And I'm making friends with all your friends here of late
And I'm hanging out at all the places that you go
There must a reason for it don't you know

The talk is I talk about you all the time
But I've got a bad case of you on my mind
I wrote our names together where you'd see it in wet cement
Does it ring a bell can't you take a hint

Do I have to draw a picture put it in front of your face
Then make you take a good look at what's a taken place
Do I have to draw a picture dan't you see for yourself
Don't you know that I've fallen for you and I'm not into much of anything else
[ instrumental ]
Don't you see my car more than ever on the block
And haven't you noticed that I've straightened up a lot
Don't you wonder why I sent the flowers I send to you
Are you aware of what's going on am I gettin' through

But do I have to draw a picture put it in front of your face...

Stuck Right In The Middle Of Your Love

Bob Morrison - Johnny McRae

© Southern Nights Music, ASCAP

Saw the fire flashing in your eyes
Just one look took my heart by surprise
Here I am baby stuck right in the middle of your love

Just a touch and my heart stood still
Shook my soul took control of my will
Here I am baby stuck right in the middle of your love

I used to be a high steppin' lover played it loose and fancy free
Then you stepped me in my tracks your loving got a hold on me on me
Now I'm caught and I can't get away
Feels so good maybe I'm gonna stay where I am
Stuck right in the middle of your love
[ instrumental ]
I used to be a high steppin' lover played it loose and fancy free...

Here I am baby stuck right in the middle of your love
Here I am baby stuck right in the middle of your love
Here I am baby stuck right in the middle of your love

Your Picture Still Loves Me (And I Still Love You)

Don Robertson - Billy Swan - Johnny Crutchfield

© Combine Music, BMI

It's been so long since I've held you though you're here everyday
Keeping me company in a sad kinda way
Your smile never changes even now that we're through
Your picture still loves me and I still love you

It's the last thing I see before I go to sleep
And it's the one thing you gave me that I'll always keep
You signed it forever and though it's not true
Your picture still loves me and I still love you
[ instrumental ]
It's the last thing I see before I go to sleep
And it's the one thing you gave me that I'll always keep
Your closet is empty my whole world is too
But your picture still loves me and I still love you
Yes your picture still loves me and I still love yo
