He'll Never Take The Place Of You

Billy Sherrill - Charlie Daniels - Bob Johnson

© Algee Music, BMI

Sure he gives me everything I ask for
A kind of love that I never knew
And every night he comes home at the same time
But he'll never ever take the place of you

He kisses me goodbye every morning
Does the little things you've always used to do
But no matter how he tries it ain't the same thing
Cause he'll never ever take the place of you

So don't try to see me when you come back to town
I finally pull myself up straight so please don't drag me down

I'll be good to him I'll make him happy
I owe him so much what else can I do
And our little boy already calls him daddy
Still he'll never ever take the place of you

No he'll never know oh that I still love you so
And he'll never ever take the place of you

Playin' Around With Love

Billy Sherrill

© Algee Music, BMI

Not too long ago you said to me I believe it's time you set me free
Cause I found a woman who knows how to love me right
And she don't mind if I lay out all night
And you said hallelujah this woman sure gets to ya
I finally found peace of mind
A singing hallelujah you don't know what good it'll do ya
Playin' around with love'll do it everytime
[ instrumental ]
But then one day she felt like movin' on
One goodbye and you were all alone
And it's funny but I could almost hear the sound
When your whole world came tumblin' to the ground
And I said hallelujah that woman socked it to ya
Just walked away and blew your mind
A singing hallelujah you've got what's comin' ya
Playin' around with love'll do it everytime

But it seems that I'm not too satisfied
With the brand new love that's walking by my side
Cause already there's an old love on my mind
Playin' around with love'll do it everytime

Jerry Butler - Otis Redding

© Curtom Music, BMI

I've been loving you too long to stop now
You are tired and you want to be free
My love is growin' stronger as you become a haven to me
I've been loving you a little too long I don't wanna stop now
[ instrumental ]
With you my life has been so wonderful I can't stop now
You are tired and your love is growin' colder
My love is growin' stronger as our affair grows older
I've been loving you too long I've been loving you much too long
I've been a loving you too long to stop now

Break My Mind

John D. Loudermilk

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

Baby oh baby tell the man at the ticket stand that you've 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
You know 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

Baby oh baby let me take your suitcases off of the scales in time
Tell the man that you've 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...
If you'll say goodbye to me babe you're gonna break my mind
Break my mind

Watching My World Walk Away

Dallas Frazier

© Blue Crest Music, BMI

I never dreamed his footsteps could ever sound so lonely
As they did when he left today
I raised my hand and brushed away a tear as I helplessly stood there
Watching my world walk away

I'm leaving forever he said with his eyes
But his lips had nothing to say
I never thought I'd live to see the day
I'd be standing in this doorway
Watching my world walk away
[ instrumental ]
I'm leaving forever he said with his eyes...
I never thought I'd live to see the day...
Watching my world walk away

Forest Borders

Oh baby come home baby come home
Oh baby come home please come on home
I see your picture on every wall
Then I realize that you're not here at all
Come home now baby come home

Well I miss you so much come on home come on home
I love you so much come on home

Well all of those years were not all bad
Cause I'm so lonely I feel so sad
Oh but you come back baby come back to me
And I hope that you still love me
Come home now please come on home

Well I miss you so much come on home come on home...
[ instrumental ]
Well all of those years were not all bad...
I love you so much come on home

I Almost Lost My Mind

Ivory Joe Hunter

© Hill And Range Songs, BMI

When I lost my baby I almost lost my mind
When I lost my baby I almost lost my mind
My head is in a spin since he left me behind

I went to see the gypsy to have my fortune read
I went to see the gypsy to have my fortune read
I hung my head in sorrow when she said what she said

Now I can tell you people the news was not so good
I can you people the news was not so good
She said your baby's left you this time he's gone for good

When I lost my baby I almost lost my mind
When I lost my baby I almost lost my mind
My head is in a spin since he left me behind

Games People Play

Joe South

© Lowery Music, BMI

Oh the games people now every night and every day now
Never meanin' what they say now and never sayin' what they mean
While they wile away the hours in their ivory towers
Until they're covered up with flowers in the back of a black limousine

Lotten da da da da lotten da da a dee da dee
Yes we're talkin' bout you and me and the games people play

Make one another cry break a heart then we say goodbye
Cross our hearts and we hope to die that the other one's to blame
But neither one will ever give in so we gaze at an eight by ten
Thinkin' bout the things that might have been and it's a dirty rotten shame

Lotten da da da da lotten da da a dee da dee...

Your friends're walkin' up to ya singing glory hallelujah
As they're tryin' to sock it to ya in the name of the Lord
They're gonna teach you how to meditate read your horoscope and cheat your fate
And furthermore to hell with hate come on and get on board

Lotten da da da da lotten da da a dee da dee...

Look around and tell me what you see what's happened to you and me
God grand me the serenity to just remember who I am
Cause we've given up our sanity for our kind and our vanity
Turn our back on humanity and we don't give a lot

Lotten da da da da lotten da da a dee da dee...
Yes we're talkin' bout you and me and the games people play

Do Right Woman Do Right Man

Chips Moman - Dan Penn

© Press Music, BMI

If you want a do right all day's woman
You gotta be a do right all night's man

Take me to heart and I'll always love you
And nobody can make me do wrong
Take me for granted leavin' love unshown
Makes willpower weak and temptation strong

A woman's only human this you should understand
She's not just a plaything she's flesh and blood just like her man

If you want a do right all day's woman...
[ instrumental ]
They say it's a man's world but you can't prove that by me
As long as we're together baby show some respect for me

If you want a do right all day's woman...
If you want a do right all day's woman...
A do right all night's man
