Operator Long Distance Please

Kye Fleming - Dennis Morgan

© Hall-Clement Pub, BMI

I woke up alone the bed was so cold
I learned a lot in just one night
I don't like TV I don't like to read
And I don't like this single life
I don't even mind if he says I told you so
I gave it one night that's long enough to know

Operator Long distance please
Could you ring this number for me
I've been callin' all afternoon
There's something wrong
I can't get through
Operator long distance please
I can't wait for him to call me
I only need a second or two
That's all it takes to say I love you

I called yellow cab to see where they had taken him last night
I called the airlines they checked his flight
He was on the 809
I called the hotel where he stays when he goes to LA
They said he checked in late last night Room 245

Operator Long distance please
Could you ring this number for me
I've been callin' all afternoon
There's something wrong
I can't get through
Operator long distance please
I can't wait for him to call me
I only need a second or two
That's all it takes to say I love you

I've got to keep dialin' tryin' can't you see
If I can just reach him he'll come back to me

You're Not Supposed To Be Here

Kent M. Robbins

© Hall-Clement Pub, BMI

How in the world did you get my number
How did you know he's out of town
I thought we were over long ago
You shouldn't be here hangin' round

And we shouldn't meet here in this restaurant
You shouldn't be holdin' my hand
I shouldn't be wantin' what I want
When I belong to another man

You're not supposed to be here
You're not supposed to want me
You're not supposed to make me want you
You're not supposed to be here
You're not supposed to tempt me
I'm not supposed to care but I do

How did we ever let this happen
We're just supposed to be old friends
I prayed I wouldn't fall back in love with you
But now I pray that it won't end

You're not supposed to be here
You're not supposed to want me
You're not supposed to make me want you
You're not supposed to be here
You're not supposed to tempt me
I'm not supposed to care but I do

You're not supposed to be so close to me
You're just supposed to be a memory

You're not supposed to be here
You're not supposed to want me
You're not supposed to make me want you
You're not supposed to be here
You're not supposed to tempt me
I'm not supposed to care but I do

We shouldn't meet here at this restaurant
You shouldn't be holding my hand
I shouldn't be wanting what I want
When I belong to another man

You're not supposed to be here
You're not supposed to want me
You're not supposed to make me want you
You're not supposed to be here
You're not supposed to tempt me
I'm not supposed to care but I do

How in the world did we let this happen
We're just supposed to be old friends
I prayed I wouldn't fall in love with you
Now I pray that it won't end

Rolling Stone

Don Pfrimmer - Gary Harrison

© Jack And Bill Music, ASCAP

I don't want to tie you down
With some lines spoken in sorrow
With some hopes pinned on tomorrow
You've got your bedroll and your guitar
And there you are
Ready to be alone rolling stone

I don't want the phone to ring
I can't talk when I'm crying
Your voice shakes when you're lying
Saddle the wind and ride for the sun
The way you run
You'll never have a home rolling stone

But if you don't love what you've found
Just remember the world is round
And whatever rolls away
Can always roll back home some day

When you sleep beneath the sky
With your coat making your pillow
As the wind cries on the willows
And your bed holds no tenderness
Remember this
You made it on your own rolling stone roll on

Till You're Gone

Walt Aldridge - Tom Brasfield

© Rick Hall Music, BMI

How many days how many ways
Do I have to lose you till you're gone

How many nights how many lonely nights
Do I have to lose you till you're gone

It happens every time I think I'm getting over you
Something 'bout somebody new gets me thinking about you

How many times how many times
Do I have to lose you till you're gone
Do I have to lose you till you're gone

I see you on the late show I hear you on the radio
Darling everywhere I go your memory is there

How many times how many times
Do I have to lose you till you're gone
Do I have to lose you till you're gone

Some Things Never Change

Kye Fleming - Dennis Morgan

© Hall-Clement Pub, BMI

They say that times are getting harder
Well that's easy to say
And this crazy world can't go much farther
It's spinning faster each day
But not everything has changed

Kids still get restless on rainy days
Lilacs still fill the air in spring
Love's still the only word that I can use in telling you
The way I feel and I'll love you always
Some things never change

Seems like we're always in a hurry getting no where fast
We're all wrapped up in work and worry but all of that will pass
It's the simple things that last

Kids still get restless on rainy days
Lilacs still fill the air in spring
Love's still the only word that I can use in telling you
The way I feel and I'll love you always
Some things never change

After all that we've been through
Love is still the same

Black And White

Kye Fleming - Dennis Morgan

© Tom Collins Music, BMI

Aren't we the same two people
Who took those vows that mean nothing now
Didn't we sit at this table as husband and wife
Now we're on opposite sides
Is this the way love ends
With paper and pen

It's all there in black and white
All the words that separate our lives
It's all there wrong or right
But love falls between the lines
It's something you can't write
In black and white

Can we forget all the good times
And never look back it is as easy as that
Can we be sure that it's finished
With tears in our eyes can we say that we tried
It's all come down to this
Is there something that we missed

It's all there in black and white
All the words that separate our lives
It's all there wrong or right
But love falls between the lines
It's something you can't write
In black and white

I've told my friends you've told yours
But opening and closing doors swing both ways
Is it too late

It's all there in black and white
All the words that separate our lives
It's all there wrong or right
But love falls between the lines
It's something you can't write
In black and white

Getting Over A Man

Morgan Ames - Clydene Jackson

© Sweet Hooper Music, ASCAP

I'm only human you look so good to me
I want to love you but I'm not sure I can
I'm gettin' over a man I'm bein' careful just goin' easy
And putting my life in to order
I'm makin' new plans I'm gettin' over a man

Don't bring me no flowers don't call me back in an hour
I'm not home I'm not ready for somebody new
Not even you it's a little too soon
I'm gettin' over a man

You're so good lookin' you're really temptin' me
It's been too long since somebody gave a damn
Since I wanted a man
I'm gettin' nervous I see you comin'
And I ought to get up and grab you
But please understand I'm gettin' over a man

Don't treat me so gentle
Don't make me all sentimental
I don't know I'm not ready for somebody new
Gimme some time but don't go away
Gimme some time cause tomorrow's another day
It's a little too soon I'm gettin' over a man

Dreams Don't Lie

Kye Fleming - Dennis Morgan

© Pi-Gem Music, BMI

I changed my number, I gave you back my picture
I said you're someone I don't wanna see
I told my friends at work it wasn't worth the hurt
But it's a different story when I go to sleep

Dreams don't lie dreams don't lie
I say I don't love you but the truth comes out at night
Dreams don't lie

Old friends call they're careful not to talk about you
I say it's alright you never even cross my mind
Then I hang up the phone I say I like it here alone
I can fool myself until I close my eyes

Dreams don't lie dreams don't lie
I say I don't love you but the truth comes out at night
Dreams don't lie

I don't love you, I don't need you
I don't want you in my life
I cane make it sound convincing
'Til I turn out the light

Why Am I Still Love You

Kent M. Robbins - Gary Harrison

© Jack And Bill Music, ASCAP

I don't recall your number
Don't reach for you at night
Don't ask your friends about you
You're out of my sight but I'm out of my mind

So why am I still in love can you tell me
Why I can't forget what you've forgotten
Why am I still in love can you tell me
Why my heart stays in yesterday
Oh why am I still in love

I found a new apartment
New friends new lovers too
It's not that I've been lonely
But nothing's changed my love for you

The Thrill Is Gone

Buddy DeSylva - Lew Brown - Ray Henderson

© DeSylva-Brown-Henderson Music, ASCAP

The thrill is gone the thrill is gone away
The thrill is gone baby the thrill is gone away
Well you know you done me wrong baby
But you'll be sorry someday

The thrill is gone it's gone away from me
The thrill is gone it's gone away from me
Although I'll still live on
You know so lonely I'll be

The thrill is gone it's gone away for good
The thrill is gone baby it's gone away for good
Some day I'll be over it all
Just like I know a good woman should

You know I'm free free from your spell
I'm free baby free from your spell
And now that it's all over
All I can do is wish you well

The thrill is gone the thrill is gone away
The thrill is gone the thrill is gone away
Well you know you done me wrong baby
But you'll be sorry some day
