The Last One To Know

Matraca Berg - Jane Mariash

© Sixteen Stars Music, BM

I didn't see the fire burn to ashes
I couldn't feel the winds of change
I was lost inside the passion
Blinded by the mem'ry of a flame

I guess I should've felt it when you touched me
I should've seen it in your eyes
But I believed you really loved me
Why can't I believe you've said goodbye

Oh why is the last one to know
The first one to cry and the last to let go
Why is the one left behind the one left alone
With no one to hold the last one to know
[ instrumental ]
It would be easier to face the morning
If you were holding me tonight
But you left me without warning
Holdin' on to a heartache while she's holding you tight

Why is the last one to know...

The Girl Who Has Everything

Dewayne Blackwell - Larry Bastian

© Old Rhymin Music, BMI

I just got the wedding invitation there's gonna be a celebration
Like you've never seen just fit for a queen
She's got her mom and daddy's blessing
She's got a long white wedding dress
And his wedding ring oh what can I bring
What do you give the girl who has everything
She's got the man who used to hold me

She's got the man who told me I was his everything
She's got the man who used to love me who placed no one above me
How he made my heart sing oh what can I bring
What do you give the girl who has everything
[ instrumental ]
She'll hear his promise of forever
She'll hear him say what I could never
Get him to say oh he'll say it today
She'll hold his hands and throw the flowers
Drink champagne till the morning hours
The queen has her king and the world on a string
So what could you give the girl who has everything

She's got the man who told me I was his everything...
What do you give the girl who has everything

Just Across The Rio Grande

Don Cook - Chick Rains

© Cross Keys Pub, ASCAP

The lights of Laredo dance on the water and shine in a young man's eyes
Who stands on the border and dreams of paradise
He's heard crazy stories of how people live over in the promised land
He heard they eat three meals a day just across the Rio Grande

He's got a wife named Maria and a baby named Rose
And another one to feed on the way
Two willing hands that couldn't find work today
He stares at the river and curses the future that he can't understand
He knows the child would have a chance just across the Rio Grande

It's only a river who told me I was his everything
A boy can throw a stone across and reach the other side
It's just some muddy water cuttin' through the land
But a man can make a dream come true just across the Rio Grande

The lights of Laredo dance on the water and shine in a young man's eyes
Who stand on the border and dreams of paradise
He's heard crazy stories of how good life is over in the promised land
And sometimes it seems like God must live just across the Rio Grande

It's only a river who told me I was his everything...
Sometimes it seems like God must live just across the Rio Grande

I Don't Want To Mention Any Names

Larry Cordle - Lisa Palas

© Jack And Bill Music, ASCAP

I've got a story to tell would you mind listenin'
I can always count on you we're such good friends
And I need to talk about my situation and you're the only one who'll understand
That someone's got designs on my baby she's making her intentions very plain
We both know this old gal that I'm talkin' about
But I don't want to mention any names

Well she's asked him to slow dance way too often
She's made suggestions I don't like it all
I'm tryin' to let her know that I'm wise to her game
But I don't want to mention any names
[ instrumental ]
Well now I can understand why she'd want him
Oh you've even said yourself it's quite a prize
She's about as good a friend as you are
Come to think of it she's just about your size

If she don't back off there's gonna be some trouble
Now I'm prepared to make that very plain
I sure hope I've said enough just between the two of us
Cause I don't want to mention any names

Well she's asked him to slow dance way too often...

Well I'm tryin' to let her know that I'm wise to her game
But I don't want to mention any names

Someone Else

Mary Ann Kennedy - Pat Bunch - Pam Rose

© Heart Wheel Music, BMI

I know that you've seen love walk out the door once or twice
I know that you've seen it all waitin' by the telephone you didn't get the call
Well baby let me tell you you're looking at me
With suspicious eyes but they'll never be confirmed

If there was someone else I wouldn't be here now
Cause you're the only one I want my arms around
And I'm tellin' you the truth and now I'll tell you why
If there was someone else I'd be with him tonight
[ instrumental ]
No time for doubts I'm gonna turn your heart around
Think about you everyday gonna make you understand my love is here to stay
We've got something goin' that's so hard to find
You are the one the only one that's on my mind

If there was someone else I wouldn't be here now...
[ instrumental ]
Oh if there was someone else I wouldn't be here now...

What You Gonna Do About Me

Michael Heeney - David Scarlett

© Window Music, BMI

You take the records I'll take the stereo you get the TV and I'll take the radio
I'll keep the dishes and you the pots and pans
You'll need a new car more than me so I'll take the second hand
We'll each keep our own friends divide the rest in two
The only kids seem to understand still there's one thing left to do
It's over in the corner our little one sits and cries
And behind that swell of tears she's asking with her eyes

Oh what you gonna do about me what you gonna do about me
Is it daddy on the weekend mama rest of the week
Will I have to make new friends live on a different street
Who's gonna be the one who tucks me into sleep
Oh what you gonna do what you gonna do about me
[ piano ]
I gave her a hug she pushed me away
I said in time you'll understand and maybe we both will someday
I wiped away her tears and said it won't be so bad
She said will you still be my mommy will he still be my dad

Oh what you gonna do about me what you gonna do about me...

How can I tell her when I don't know for sure
Why her mom and dad don't love each other anymore

I Don't Want To Be Alone

Reba McEntire

© Jack And Bill Music, ASCAP

My nerves are shot the coffee's cold wish that I could be so bold
As to walk right up to you and say what I think
I don't know what you think of me and I know everyone can see
I'm crazy about you and always will be
Where's women's lib when you need it the most
Or what is mama who said you're not suppose
To flaunt yourself like that as to no in between
Or maybe it's not that I'm afraid it's just that the last move I made
Embarrassed me to death and made me want to hide
So if you've ever been embarrassed before meet me half way and I'll know for sure
At least we'll still be friends if I mess up again

Cause it ain't easy meetin' someone new
Especially when that someone is you
It ain't easy being by yourself it's no fun to be alone
And I don't want to be alone
[ instrumental ]
It ain't easy meetin' someone new...
My nerves are shot the coffee's cold wish that I could be so bold
As to walk right up to you and say what I think

The Stairs

Pamela Brown - Dalton Roberts

© BMG Songs, ASCAP

She looks at the clock it's a quarter past nine
She hears his car as he pulls in the drive
Dinner's still waiting from hours before
She knows he's been drinking when he walks through the door
In anger he strikes out and she starts to cry
How much more can she take how much more can she lie

And she fell down the stair again
But it hasn't happened since she don't know when
Was it in spring when she packed up the kids
Or maybe in winter with his job on the skids
Oh but just like before she'll have to pretend
That she fell down the stairs again

A short time ago she started a job serving chicken
Fried steak and corn on the cob
She started out shy but she ended up sure
That a ticket to anywhere could be the cure
But he couldn't handle her change for the better
She tried to leave him but he wouldn't let her
He says he's sorry he'd never mean it
He swears it won't happen again
But she's so confused she wants to believe it
She just wants this nightmare to end

And she fell down the stair again...

Just like before she'll have to pretend
That she fell down the stairs again

Love Will Find Its Way To You

Dave Loggins - J.D. Martin

© MCA Music, ASCAP

Another morning another day in your life without someone there by you
You had a dream again last night you wonder why the dream just won't come true

So what you gonna do walk around with your head hung down
Maybe that's the reason you've never found the one for you
So you've got to let your love shine
Through your eyes and your smile
You've got to let somebody know how you feel inside
Your heart you'll find somebody wants to be a part of your life
And if you just believe and say that's what you're gonna do
One day love will find it's way to you
Yes it will one day love will find it's way to you
[ instrumental ]
Another party and all your friends are smiles oh you might meet someone new
And bein' close would be so nice in this life the chances are so few

So what you gonna do walk around with your head hung down...

Don't you think you're the only one
Oh somewhere in the world there's a lonely heart looking for someone
[ instrumental ]
You've got to let your love shine through you eyes your smile
You've got to let somebody know how you feel inside your heart
You'll find somebody wants to be a part of your life cause your eyes your smile
You've got to let somebody know how you feel inside
Somebody wants to be a part of your life

I've Still Got The Love We Made

Chris Waters - Michael Garvin - Tom Shapiro

© Tree Pub, BMI

You know I can't find the letters you wrote to me in school
And that shoebox full of photographs got lost in my last move
I gave away that old twin bed where you and I first laid
But after all this time I've still got the love we made

And that old beat up car we dated in finally turned to rust
And the first rose that you gave me oh it finally turned to dust
But all those tender nights we shared are never gonna fade
Cause after all this time I've still got the love we made

I've got every feeling we felt when we touched
Cause even though fell apart I kept a part of us
I've held on to everytime we held each other tight
And promised that no matter what we'd never say goodbye
I don't have one souvenir of us I'd meant to save
But right here in my heart I've still got the love we made
Ooh right here in my heart I've still got the love we made
