I Don't Know A Thing About Love (The Moon Song)

Harlan Howard

© Tree Pub, BMI

I talked to the man in the moon
I said sir is she coming back soon
He smiled and he stated son I'm over-rated
I've had too much credit in all those love tunes

I don't know a thing about love
I just kinda hang here above
I just watch from the sky will love grow will it die
I don't know a thing about love

Then I asked him where is she tonight
You must see all things with your light
He said son I could tell you things that might kill you
But I don't get involved in what's wrong or right

I don't know a thing about love...

He said I can move oceans when I take the notion
Or make mountains tremble and rivers run dry
But in all matters human remember there's someone
In charge of those things way above you and I

I don't know a thing about love...
I don't know a thing about love

I've Never Had It Bad

John Moffatt

© Cedarwood Pub, BMI

I've had love enough for any man but not enough to learn
I wish I had a nickel for each bridge I've had to burn
I've had love that warmed my heart and love that left me sad
I've had love a thousand ways but I've never had it bad

I've had love that bloomed in spring but never saw the fall
And I've known love so big it made life itself seem small
Sometimes love was pure and sweet and sometimes just a fad
I've had love a thousand ways but I've never had it bad

Love is only what we make it a window or a wall
Love can heal a heart or break it but it's a fool who never falls

We've had love this time around but it seems our time has passed
Even though we made it work we couldn't make it last
So here's a toast to you and me and everything we had
I've had love a thousand ways still I've never had it bad

Without You

Ron Saucier - Mike Schrimpf

© Schrimp Music, ASCAP

I've never been above the Mason Dixon line
The cold wind and the snow just ain't my style
When you left for New York City I stayed behind
But girl it's not the same without your smile

You said you hated leaving but then you were gone
The big city life was on your mind
Everyday gets harder for me to carry on
All alone in this Dixie heart of mine

Without you I'm Dixie without Georgia
These lonely southern nights make me blue
Without you I'm Texas without Dallas
I'm Cajun country without Baton Rouge
I'm Dixie without Georgia without you

I'm southern born and bred just like a magnolia tree
I'm honeysuckle clinging to the vine
I had it all together when you were with me
Right here in this Dixie home of mine

Yeah without you I'm Dixie without Georgia...

Hey without you I'm Dixie without Georgia
These lonely southern nights make me blue
Without you I'm Texas without Dallas
I'm Memphis Tennessee without the blues
I'm Dixie without Georgia without you

Without you without you
Without you without you
Without you without you
Without you without you
Without you without you

All My Life

Jesse Harris

© Blackwood Music, BMI

Maybe it's the way you kiss me or that twinkle in your eye
Maybe it's the way you hold me and keep me satisfied
Just as long as you love me I guess it doesn't matter why
You're the one I've dreamed of all my life

Maybe it's the way I sometimes catch you with my reflection in your eye
Maybe it's the times I tease and you laugh until you cry
Just as long as you love me I guess it doesn't matter why
You're the one I've dreamed of all my life
[ guitar ]
Maybe it's the way you kiss me or that twinkle in your eye...
You're the one I've dreamed of all my life

Bad Boy

Jamie O'Hara

© Cross Keys Pub, ASCAP

Everyday your husband goes to work from nine to five
Wakes up in the morning and puts on his coat and tie
Sits down at the table with some coffee and the news
Two eggs over easy girl that's all he says to you

The kids are all in school now and you sit home alone
Spendin' all your time down in the basement washin' clothes
Somehow this just ain't the way you dreamed that love would be
I can look into your eyes and tell just what you need

You need a bad boy to love you up and down
A bad boy to take you on the town
It's plain to what you need's a little bitty mystery
You need a bad boy a bad boy like me
[ guitar ]
Every night at six o'clock he walks on through the door
Lays down on the couch and throws his shoes off on the floor

Tonight was gonna be the night he took you to a show
Now he's much too tired and he doesn't wanna go
Once again you spend the night in front of the TV
In bed you turn to touch him but he's already asleep

You need a bad boy to love you up and down...
Bad boy

Somebody's Needin' Somebody

Len Chera

© Ja-Len Music, ASCAP

Someone somewhere's fallin' asleep in a chair in front of the TV
Cross town somebody's up and walkin' the floor at a quarter to three
In some little corner of the world a forgotten soul is waitin' by the phone
And right down the hall someone's in threre feelin' like cryin' cause they're livin' all alone

Somebody's needin' somebody the way I do
Somebody's wantin' somebody they can hold on to
To be loved by somebody that's the way it should be
Oh there's got to be somebody somewhere waitin' for me

Late at night it's lonely and I wonder how I'll ever get through
There's got to be somebody somewhere who's feelin' it too
Hurtin' inside going through the motions it's so hard to live
So many feeling so lonely when they got so much to give

Somebody's needin' somebody the way I do...

To be loved by somebody that's the way it should be
Oh there's got to be somebody somewhere waitin' for me

By Heart

Hugh Prestwood

© Window Music, BMI

Her face reflects as much of me as any mirror can
And my image in her eyes is all I know of who I am
But even as I see myself the lines begin to blur
For who I am has long been tied and tangled up in her

And it isn't luck or chance she can read me at a glance
Not just because she's clever and she's smart
No it's just by now she knows my heart by heart

It seems like it's been centuries since she and I began
And both of us took all our chances on a single hand
Though we took it day to day it's gone from year to year
And no one ever close to me was ever half as near

And it isn't any trick or because her mind is quick
She reaches my conclusions as I start
No it's just by now she knows my heart by heart

And amazing as it seems she brings magic to my dreams
Not just because she's mastered magic's art
No it's just by now she knows my heart by heart
She knows my heart

When The Magic Works

Don Cook - Bill LaBounty

© Cross Keys Pub, ASCAP

On a good night I don't even have to try cause it's so strong once I get on
To the right track when I get the knack she'll be helpless here forever

When the magic works there's no power on earth
To keep her falling in love with me yeah
Hey when the magic works I just say the right words
She'll go to pieces right at my feet

Moonlight everything is just right I can feel it workin' a spell
And sometimes when the planets are in line I can see it come together

When the magic works there's no power on earth...
Yeah when the magic works there's no power on earth...
Hey when the magic works

Call It What You Want Too (It's Still Love)

Keith Palmer

© Unart Music, BMI

You tell me that it's over I'm just someone you think of now and then
And you say that you once loved me but the love you had for me came to an end
And you tell me that my memory is just a dying ember not a flame
Cause you can call it when you want to it's still love by any other name

Call it what you want to I still bring out the want to in your eyes
Everytime that I'm around you the desire that surrounds you just can be disguised
You can call it anything at all but what you're telling me don't change a thing
You can call it what you want to it's still love by any other name

Call it what you want to I still bring out the want to in your eyes...
Baby call it what you want to it's still love by any other name

A Hard Act To Follow

Gary Nicholson - David Chamberlain

© Cross Keys Pub, ASCAP

My leadin' lady is gone and it's hard to go on
Without the part she played my life's just an empty stage

She's a hard act to follow
I thought I'd find somebody by now
She's hard act to follow
Her leavin' brought the whole house down

She was so right for the part the way she fit into my heart
After the love she gave could ever take her place

She's a hard act to follow...
She's a hard act to follow...
