I Can't Get Used To Being Lonely

I've got to get used to bein' lonely
And get used to knowin' that you're gone
But how can I prepare myself without you
When I can't get used to bein' all alone

I've got to get used to bein' lonely
And say this is the last day I'll be blue
But how can I look forward to tomorrow
When I can't get used to knowin' I've lost you

For things to change I must have you to change them
Cause on my own I don't have fate in me
But loneliness is all I have without you
Cause I can't get used to bein' this lonely
Cause I can't get used to bein' lonely

I'm only gonna wait till seven to see if he will call me
To apologize when I treat any right
I'm only gonna wait till seven then I'll be out with an old friend
Cause I'm not gonna cry tonight again like I cried all night last night

No matter how much I love you I'm not gonna sit at home
I'm a gonna wipe these tears away and dance till the break of dawn
It's his fault I'm goin' he's told me too many lies
So mama you can take the message if he cause to apologize

I'm only gonna wait till seven to see if he will call me...
[ instrumental ]
I'm only gonna wait till seven to see if he will call me...

Constantly

Melba Montgomery

If my face shows that I'm lonesome when a tear falls on my cheek
And to you I seem a stranger keep to answer when you speak
If at times I seem unhappy deep inside it's the real me
Since I've lost my one and only I've been hurtin' constantly

If you see me talkin' to myself at night walkin' along
These aren't the only foolish things I've done since he's been gone
I may suddenly start cryin' if I'm home or on the street
Since I've lost my one and only I've been hurtin' constantly

(Since I've lost my one and only I've been hurtin' constantly)

All the time I'm hurtin' all the time I'm blue
Can't find consolation when my heart won't forget you
If at times I seem unhappy deep inside it's the real me
Since I've lost my one and only I've been hurtin' constantly
Since I've lost my one and only I've been hurtin' constantly

From Then Till Now

Melba Montgomery

It's been a long time since I have held you
Since that day you broke your vow
Then without you time has no meaning
And it's been a long time from then till now

My friends tell me that I might make it
So far no one has told me how
It seemed today goes on forever
For it's been a long time from then till now
[ instrumental ]
Each day I live the hurt grows stronger
I long for love you won't allow
Each faithless hand that's reachin' for you
For it's been a long time from then till now

Better Than Now

Melba Montgomery

I'm livin' in mem'ry so I still can't have you
For it's been a long time now since we've been through
I'm not livin' the presence I still have you around
I'm livin' the past part of time it's much better than now

Yes the past I'm now livin' not tonight not today
So I'll have you to hold me to keep heartaches away
I can't look to the future in it you can't be found
So I'm livin' the past part of time it's much better than now
[ instrumental ]
Yes the past I'm now livin' not tonight not today...

You Introduced Me To The Blues

Melba Montgomery

You left me with the hurt that grows with each new day
And loneliness inside my heart won't go away
Memories just won't let me get over you
I've let you introduced me to the blues

Each day brings more grieve and pain and misery
From your love I know I'll never be set free
I can't pretend that you're not gone and we're not through
I've let you introduced me to the blues
[ instrumental ]
It seems that nothing's been the same since you're not here
The things that once brought laughter now they're only tears
This old heart feels like it's gonna break in two
I've let you introduced me to the blues
I've let you introduced me to the blues
I've let you introduced me to the blues

I Saw It (For Myself)

Melba Montgomery - Bill Hayes

© Glad Music, BMI

Seeing is believing and I saw you last night
With your arms around her holding her so tight
My friends tried to warn me to them my ears were dumb
Till last night I saw it for myself

Yes seeing is believing and I saw the big surprise
My world fall to pieces right before my eyes
I guess I knew it all along exactly how you felt
And last night I saw it for myself

Yes I saw the things I didn't want to see
For now the truth is known even to me
As my tears were fallin' I turned them slowly there
For last night I saw it for myself
For last night I saw it for myself

White Lightning

J.P. Richardson

Well in North Carolina way back in the hills
Lived my old pappy and he had him a still
He brewed white lightnin' till the sun went down
He fill him a jug and he pass it around
Mighty mighty pleasin' my pappy's corn squeezin'
(Whew white lightnin')

Well the G men T men revenoers too
Searchin' for the place where he made his brew
They were lookin' tryin' to book him
But my pappy kept on cookin'
(Whew white lightnin')
[ instrumental ]
Well a city slicker came and he said I'm tough
I think I'd like to taste that powerful stuff
He took one slug and he drank it right down
I heard him moanin' as he hit the ground
Mighty mighty pleasin' my pappy's corn squeezin'
(Whew white lightnin')

Well the G men T men revenoers too...
[ instrumental ]
Well I asked my old pappy why he called his brew
White lightnin' stead of mountain dew
I took a little sip and right away I knew
My eyes bugged out and my face turned blue
Mighty mighty pleasin' my pappy's corn squeezin'
(Whew white lightnin')

Well the G men T men revenoers too...

Yearning (To Kiss You)

George Jones - Eddie Eddings

© Starday Music, BMI

Yearning to be with the one I can't agree with
Yearning to hear you call my name
Like a fool I left you and now I can't forget you
Please forgive me take me back again

I'll never be the same without you darlin'
You'll always be my everything
My love for you's still burnin' and my poor heart is yearnin'
While you wear another's name

Yearning to hold you and let my arms unfold you
Yearning to hear you call my name
Yearning to kiss you oh darlin' how I'LL miss you
Oh how I wish you felt the same

I never knew how much you cared about me
I thought that you were foolin' me
Now I'm yearning to kiss you oh darlin' how I'll miss you
I wish that we could make commance sweetheart

Your Kind Of Loving Won't Do

George Jones - George Riddle

© Glad Music, BMI

I was so sincere when I started
Always blind for you
Then your love shifted like the water
Drifting to another shore

The notice was short that you gave me
Thin was the time that I knew
Life without your love has no meaning
But your kind of loving won't do
No your kind of loving won't do
[ instrumental ]
Someday if you change I'll be waiting
As you know I always have done
But I know in my heart that it's hopeless
For your heart I'm fool number one

But a fool likes to go right on drinkin'
For pleasures sometime are so few
My kind of loving was your kind
But your kind of loving won't do
No your kind of loving won't do

Anothers' Love Slipped In

Melba Montgomery

© Glad Music, BMI

Once he held me in his arms and told me
That I was his only love but then
I find myself alone sitting here crying
Crying because another's love slipped in

She came along and stole his love from me
What a pity his heart I'll never win
From now on my life will be so lonely
Lonely because another's love slipped in
[ instrumental ]
She came along and stole his love from me...

The Big Joke

Melba Montgomery

© Glad Music, BMI

You had a special joke you told to your friends
About the love I thought could never end
You took me for a fool and you were right
And the big joke is on me tonight

Yes the big joke you told them was a true one
For there were tears when the laugh would die
I was standin' in the next room when you told them
It was so funny we all laughed till I cried
[ instrumental ]
Yes the big joke you told them was a true one...
