The Hardest Part

Doyle Primm - Allison Moorer

© Full Pull Music, BMI

Children say that words will never harm you
Only sticks and stones will make you cry
They'll grow up one day and learn the real truth
When the one they love says goodbye

The hardest part of living is loving
Cause loving turns to leaving every time
And the hardest part of leaving is living
Life is hard when love is so unkind
Life is hard when love is so unkind
[ instrumental ]
I don't trust old sayings any longer
Most are only decorated lies
Absence doesn't make the heart grow fonder
And out of sight don't mean out of mind

The hardest part of living is loving...

Day You Said Goodbye

Doyle Primm - Allison Moorer

© Full Pull Music, BMI

When the first hint of sunshine
Peeks between the window blinds
And the morning hits my pillow
The sweetest dream is left behind

I'd rather die than face a new day
Cause I always wake to find
That I'm feeling just as lonely
As the day you said goodbye

Can you feel me reaching for you
In the middle of the night
What I'd give to hold you darling
Within these arms of mine
[ instrumental ]
Can you feel me reaching for you...

Oh all my heartache would be over
If my dream came true one time
Then I wouldn't have to live with
The day you said goodbye
Goodbye goodbye goodbye goodbye

It's Time I Tried

Doyle Primm - Allison Moorer

© Full Pull Music, BMI

Sorrow I'm told comes and goes but that ain't what I say
Cause for me the misery never goes away
It's been like this ever since you told me goodbye
And I've refused to lose these blues but it's time I tried

It's time I tried to mend my broken heart
Dry my eyes and make a brand new start
I have to heal this hurt I feel and get you off my mind
It might be hard but it's time I tried
[ instrumental ]
All I do is long for you when I turn out the lights
Cause nothing's left but loneliness to hold onto at night
I toss and turn while my heart yearns for love I've been denied
I can't replace your warm embrace but it's time I tried

It's time I tried to mend my broken heart...
Time I tried

The Best That I Can Do

Doyle Primm - Allison Moorer

© Full Pull Music, BMI

When you left I never thought I'd say
I'm better off without you anyway
But just because I say the words don't mean I think they're true
It's just that it's the best that I can do

I don't go to places you might be
I can't take the chance that we might meet
But just because I've stayed away don't mean I wanted to
It's just that it's the best that I can do

Someday I'll do better but till then
I can't let you know how hurt I've been
I wish I had you back with me but I won't play on your sympathy
To get you in my arms once again
[ instrumental ]
I admit there are others I have seen
Sometimes I need the company
But just because I'm loving them don't mean I'm over you
It's just that it's the best that I can do

Think It Over

Doyle Primm - Allison Moorer

© Full Pull Music, BMI

You crawl back tonight saying you miss me
With your tail between your legs
What's going on here ain't no myst'ry
Still it's fun watchin' you beg
Settling down won't come natural but think it over

I hear you found someone who's true
That she treats you fine
Now that poor girl's love won't do
And you're wantin' some of mine
Settling down won't come natural but think it over

I know why you cheat on me (always running round and round)
Every time I turn my back (you'll never change)
Every woman loves a bit differently (but hurts the same)
That's what keeps you going that's what keeps you trapped
[ instrumental ]
Don't tell me you've learned your lessons
Unless you really wanna quit
It takes more than a confession
For an old dog to learn new tricks
Settling down won't come natural but think it over
Ah ah think it over

Bring Me All Your Lovin'

Doyle Primm - Allison Moorer - Kenny Greenberg

© Full Pull Music, BMI

Please don't bring me flowers tied up in a pretty bow
I'd trade a thousand roses for just one hand to hold
And I don't want no candy sugar hurts my teeth
All I want is you tonight that'd be really sweet

And there's nothing at the five-and-dime that I really need
Your kiss is the only gift that means a thing to me
Bring me all your lovin' that's something you ain't tried
Bring me all your lovin' and I'll be satisfied

I don't want a poem written fancy on a card
I'd rather have I love you scribbled on my heart
And I won't wear a new dress from a downtown store
But wrap me up in your arms and baby I'll be yours

There's nothing at the five-and-dime that I really need...
[ instrumental ]
No there's nothing at the five-and-dime that I really need
Your kiss is the only gift that means a thing to me
Bring me all your lovin' that's something you can't buy
Bring me all your lovin' and I'll give you all of mine

Yeah bring me all your lovin' and throw your presents in the creek
Yeah bring me all your lovin' and I'll be tickled pink

Is It Worth It

Doyle Primm - Allison Moorer

© Full Pull Music, BMI

Is it worth it you gotta wonder
No sane person would say it was
It's for certain we're going under
Things ain't working between the two of us

Is it worth it to go on trying
We keep rehearsing and gettin' worse
Let's close the curtain this act's dying
We did our version it didn't work

Is it worth the price we are paying
Is it worth the damage being done
Is it worth the both of us staying
If you think so then you're the only one

Is it worth it what are we doing
Let's not be martyrs for the sake of love
This is a burden of our own choosing
It'd be smarter if we gave up

Send Me Down An Angel

Doyle Primm - Allison Moorer

© Full Pull Music, BMI

It's nearly three a.m. and still no sight of him
When it comes to love I'm in the dark
Lord I don't understand why I stand by my man
All he's ever done is break my heart

Won't you send down an angel from the blue
To show me the righteous thing to do
Oh I'm calling out to you
Send down an angel to get me through

I'm not the praying kind
But it can't hurt to try
I can't find the answer by myself
I need help

Won't you send down an angel from the blue...
[ instrumental ]
Won't you send down an angel from the blue...

No Next Time

Doyle Primm - Allison Moorer

© Full Pull Music, BMI

with Lonesome Bob

You've finally gone and done it broke it right in two
There's no way you can fix it so pocket your excuse
Don't tell me that you're sorry that'll only make it worse
I'm tired of your story I know it word for word

I make no bones about it stupid is as stupid does
I had to learn the hard way you're a man that I can't trust
If only I'd known sooner I was gonna be betrayed
I would've left the first time I ever heard you say

I didn't mean to break your heart I apologize
If you'll just give me one more chance there'll be no next time
I promise I will never break your heart
Again again again
[ instrumental ]
Right now it's a hurtin' but it'll be okay
I'll pick up both the pieces and be on my way
You know that I love you yeah that's been my mistake
So before I go let's hear it once more for old time's sake

I didn't mean to break your heart I apologize...

Feeling That Feeling Again / Cold Cold Earth

Doyle Primm - Allison Moorer

© Full Pull Music, BMI

The moment these lips said I'm leaving
I felt in my heart I was wrong
But I told myself I might as well
Since I already spent nights alone

Thought I had put it behind me
Guess that's why I'm so surprised
That my heart started a racing
When I ran into you tonight

I'm feeling that feeling again
Exactly like I did back then
But darling only a fool
Would take one more chance with you

There was a good reason why
I had to tell you goodbye
But I can't pretend it's not love that I'm in
Cause I'm feeling that feeling again

Now I'm lying here like I used to
Lonesome as a young widowed bride
And just like the old days before I went my way
A question is burning inside

Were we made for each other
To walk through the fire hand in hand
Well I'll never know for certain
But I'm feeling that feeling again

I'm feeling that feeling again...

The night was hot and steamy and crickets played their tune
Everyone was sleeping under an August moon
Except one man that sat awake slowly going mad
Regretting that he'd thrown away the only love he had

A slave to the bottle he'd driven his family to leave
A wife and two daughters he treated so terribly
Drunk with grief and loneliness he wasn't thinking straight
He knew he couldn't live unless they pardoned his mistakes

He went into the city to try to make amends
Asked his love for pity but she would not give in
Overwhelmed with sadness he reached for his gun
And took her life along with his before the morning sun

Now they are lying in the cold cold earth
Such a sad sad story such a sad sad world
