Roll Over And Play Dead

Enslo Rich

© Belton Music, ASCAP

I ain't gonna roll over and play dead
You can get that nonsense sister right outta your head
A go ahead and try to steal my man
But you're gonna have the fire on your hands
Cause I ain't gonna roll over and play dead

You've hung enough jewelry on yourself to look like a neon sign
With your manicured nails and your hair spray on you sure do look real fine
And any fool can tell that you got my baby in your sights
I guess you think your so good lookin' that I won't put up a fight

But I ain't gonna roll over and play dead
You can get that nonsense sister right outta your head
A go ahead and try to get my man
But you're gonna have the fire on your hands
Cause I ain't gonna roll over and play dead
[ instrumental ]
Well I can't buy those clothes you wear to look like a beauty queen
And I don't look like a cover girl on a fashion magazine
But you can't substitute real love with fancy frills and lace
And all you got that I ain't got is more makeup on your face

So I ain't gonna roll over and play dead...

Not none of me no I ain't gonna roll over and play dead
This is my week for fightin' and I ain't gonna roll over and play dead

Love Me And Make It All Better

Eddie Rabbitt

© Briarpatch Music, BMI

Love me and make it all better
Come back and ease the pain
Kiss away these burning tears
Say you love me again

I was wrong accusing you of unfaithfulness
Cause you walked away and took all my happiness

Love me and make it all better...

I'm a fool for thinking I could live without you
Maybe my own weakness caused me to doubt in you

Love me and make it all better...

Your Good Girl's Gonna Go Bad

Billy Sherrill - Glenn Sutton

© Al Gallico Music, BMI

I've never seen the inside of a barroom
Or listened to a jukebox all night long
But I see these are the things that bring you pleasure
So I'm gonna make some changes in our home

I've heard it said if you can't beat 'em join 'em
So if that's the way you wanted me to be
I'll change if it takes that to make you happy
From now on you're gonna see a different me

Because your good girl's a gonna go bad
I'm gonna be the swingi'est swinger you've ever had
If you like 'em painted up powdered up then you oughta be glad
Cause your good girl's gonna go bad
[ instrumental ]
I'll even learn to like the taste of whiskey
In fact you'll hardly recognize your wife
I'll buy some brand new clothes and dress up fancy
For my journey to the wilder side of life

Because your good girl's gonna go bad...
Oh yes your good girl's gonna go bad

You Don't Know Me

Cindy Walker - Eddy Arnold

© Hill And Range Songs, BMI

You give your hand to me and then you say hello
And I can hardly speak my heart is beating so
And anyone can tell you think you know me well
But you don't know me

No you don't know the one who dreams of you at night
And longs to kiss your lips and longs to hold you tight
To you I'm just a friend that's all I've ever been
But you don't know me

For I never knew the art of makin' love
Though my heart aches with love for you
Afraid and shy I let my chance go by
The chance you might have loved me too

You give your hand to me and then you say goodbye
I watch you walk away with teardrops in my eyes
You'll never never know the one who loves you so
No you don't know me
You'll never never know the one who loves you so
No you don't know me

You And Me And Tears And Roses

Jim Glaser - Heinz Bucholz - Karl Goetz

© Ensign Music, BMI

You and me and tears and roses in my memory side by side
For you always sent me roses ev'rytime you made me cry
Tears and roses now remind me that your love was just a lie
For today you sent me roses with a note that said goodbye

And in a little while when the roses die
All I'll have left of you are the tears I cry and cry oh oh oh oh
You and me and tears and roses not much left to build upon
Roses will be gone tomorrow but the tears go on and on
[ instrumental ]
Tup dup to to do tup to to do...
And then in little while when the roses die...
But the tears go on and on

Break My Mind

John D. Loudermilk

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

Baby oh baby tell the man at the ticket stand that you changed your mind
Let me run on out and tell the cab to keep his meter flyin'
Cause if you say goodbye to me babe you're gonna break my mind

Break my mind break my mind
No I just can't stand to hear them big jet engines whine
Break my mind break my mind oh Lord
Cause if you leave you're gonna leave a babblin' fool behind
[ ac.guitar ]
Baby oh baby say you'll take your suitcase offa the scales in time
Tell the man that you suddenly developed a thing about flyin'
Cause if you say goodbye to me babe you're gonna break my mind

Break my mind break my mind...

Gentle On My Mind

John Hartford

© Glaser Pub, BMI

It's knowin' you don't try to buy my freedom with some promise made of gold
That for you my door stays open and our love becomes a simple two way street
And it's knowin' we're not shackled by forgotten words and bonds
And the ink stains that have dried upon some line
That keeps you on the back roads by the rivers of my memory
That keeps you ever gentle on my mind

It's not clingin' to the rocks and ivy planted on some column now that binds us
Or somethin' that somebody said because they thought we fit together walkin'
It's just knowin' that the world will not be cursing or forgiving
When I'm drifting through the market place and find
That you're movin' on the back roads
By the rivers of my memory and for hours you're just gentle on my mind

Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines
And the junk yards and the highways come between us
And some other woman cryin' to her mother cause she turned and you were gone
I still might walk for hours tears of joy might stain my face
And a summer sun might burn me till I'm blind
But not to where I cannot see you movin' on the back roads
By the rivers flowin' gentle on my mind

The shutters creak in autumn winds that make me draw inside myself in silence
Cross legged now I sit and watch the endless chase of leaves across my yard
And layin' down my hair brush I lean back within my window seat and find
That you're movin' on the back roads by the rivers of my memory
Ever smilin' ever gentle on my mind

A Fallen Star

James Joiner

© Tree Pub, BMI

A star fell from heaven right into my arms
The brightest star I know I've ever seen
Then I found out that it was only you with all your charms
Who came into my life to fill a dream

A fallen star that's what you are
The twinkle in your eye came from the sky
You must have strayed from the Milky Way
A fallen star that's what you are
[ instrumental ]
A fallen star that's what you are...
A fallen star that's what you are

Your Ole Handy Man

Dolly Parton

© Combine Music, BMI

I have to mow the lawn and I have to wash the car
Honey I just like to know who you think you are
I'm gettin' tired of waggin' that ole heavy garbage can
Your woman's gettin' tired of bein' your ole handy man

I have to run your water and I have to wash your back
And I have to scrub the tub after you have had your bath
You're as helpless as a baby but I love you understand
I'm just gettin' tired of bein' your ole handy man

Your woman's gettin' tired of bein' your ole handy man
I know you got ten fingers but where's your helping hand
Oh I've just made a decision I've stood all I'm gonna stand
Your woman's gettin' tired of bein' your ole handy man

I do everything for you you never help yourself
And I think I'd die from shock if you raised a hand to help
Well I'm not gonna keep it up if that's what you got planned
Your woman's gettin' tired of bein' your ole handy man

Your woman's gettin' tired of bein' your ole handy man...

I love you but come on baby you're a big boy now
All those muscles and their's just goin' to waste
Now I've just about had it with this bathtub scrubbin'

Burning Bridges

Walter Scott

© Broad River Pub, BMI

Found some letters you wrote me this morning
They told of a love we once knew
Now they're gone I burned them to ashes
Don't want nothin' to remind me of you

Burning bridges behind me
It's too late to turn back now
Burning bridges behind me
All I want is to forget you somehow

Sold the house we once planned together
Said goodbye to friends we once knew
Then I moved to a faraway city
Tryin' hard to forget about you

Burning bridges behind me...

All The Time

Mel Tillis - Wayne P. Walker

© Cedarwood Pub, BMI

All the time yes darlin' all the time
Tenderly and constantly I'll love you
Every day I'll prove it every way
In happiness or in loneliness I'll love you

Other arms may tempt me but don't let that bother you
For even if they tempt me I'll never be untrue
All the time yes darlin' all the time
Through the years through smiles or tears I'll love you

Other arms may tempt me but don't let that bother you...

Any Old Way You Do

Harlan Howard

© Tree Pub, BMI

Sometimes you're mean sometimes you ain't
Sometimes you're a devil sometimes you're a saint
Sometimes I wish that I could leave and say we're through
But I love you any ole way you do
Honey I love you any ole way you do

Sometimes you drink sometimes you don't
Sometimes you cheat when you swear you won't
You're a no good bum you proved it through and through
But I love you any ole way you do
Honey I love you any ole way you do

You keep that green-eyed devil in my heart and on my mind
But I put up with all this hurt for the moments when you're kind

You're ninety nine percent no good
And I'd walk out if I thought I could
But before I reach the door my heart would break in two
For I love you any ole way you do
Honey I love you any ole way you do

That's all right that's all right that's all right that's all right
Honey I love you any ole way you do
