We've Got Tonight

Bob Seger

© Gear Pub, ASCAP

with Sheena Easton

I know it's late I know you're weary
I know your plans don't include me
Still here we are both of us lonely

Longing for shelter from all that we see
Why should we worry no one will care girl
Look at the stars now so far away

We've got tonight who needs tomorrow
We've got tonight babe why don't you stay

Deep in my soul I've been so lonely
All of my hopes now so fading away
I've longed for love like everyone else does
I know I'll keep searching after today

So there it is girl we've got it all now
And here we are babe what do you say

We've got tonight who needs tomorrow
We've got tonight babe why don't we stay

I know it's late and I know you're weary
I know your plans don't include me
Still here we are both of us lonely both of us lonely

We've got tonight who needs tomorrow
Let's make it last let's find a way
Turn out the light come take my hand now
We've got tonight babe why don't we stay
We've got tonight babe why don't we stay

Every Time Two Fools Collide

Jeff Tweel - Jan Dyer

© Window Music, BMI

with Dottie West

You want things your way and I want them mine
And now we don't know just where you draw the line
How can love survive if we keep choosin' side
Who picks up the pieces every time two fools collide

You lay the blame on me and I put blame on you
Why do we keep finding faults in everything you do
But how long can we keep right and wrong so cut and dry
And who picks up the pieces every time two fools collide

We can save our love we still have the time
I know there must be a way we still haven't tried
To keep our hearts from breaking every time two fools collide
To keep our hearts from breaking every time two fools collide

(Hey Won't You Play) Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song

Larry Butler - Chips Moman

© Tree Pub, BMI

with Dottie West

It's lonely out tonight
And the feelin' just got right
For a brand new love song
Somebody done somebody wrong song

Hey won't you play
Another somebody done somebody wrong song
And make me feel at home while I miss my baby
While I miss my baby

So play play for me a sad melody
So sad that it makes everybody cry
A real hurtin' song about love that's gone wrong
Cause I don't wanna cry all alone

So hey won't you play...
[ sax ]
So play play for me a sad melody...
Hey won't you play...
Somebody done somebody wrong song...
I miss my baby

Till I Can Make It On My Own

Billy Sherrill - George Richey - Tammy Wynette

© Algee Music, BMI

with Dottie West

I'll need time to get you off my mind
And I may sometimes bother you try to be in touch with you
Even ask too much of you from time to time

Now and then Lord you know I'll need a friend
Till I get used to losin' you let me keep on usin' you
Till I can make it on my own

I'll get by but no matter how I try
There'll be times you know I'll call
Chances are my tears will fall
And I'll have no pride at all from time to time

But they say oh there'll be a brighter day
But till then I'll lean on you
That's all I mean to do
Till I can make it on my own

Surely someday I'll look up and see the mornin' sun
Without another lonely night behind me
Then I'll know I'm over you and all my cryin's done
No more hurtin' memories can find me

But till then Lord you know I'm gonna need a friend
Till I get used to losing you let me keep on using you
Till I can make it on my own
Till I can make it on my own

All I Ever Need Is You

Jimmie Holiday - Eddie Reeves

© UA Music, ASCAP

with Dottie West

Sometimes when I'm down and all alone
I feel just like a child without a home
The love you give me keeps me hangin' on honey
All I ever need is you

You're my first love you're my last
You're my future you're my past
Oh loving you is all I ask honey
All I ever need is you

Winters come and then they go
And we watch the melting snow
Sure as summer follows spring all the things you do
Give me a reason to build me world around you

Some men follow rainbows I am told
Some men search for silver some for gold
But I've found my treasures in your soul oh honey yeah
And all I ever need is you

Without love I'd never find a way
Through ups and downs of every single day
And I won't sleep at night until you say honey
All I ever need is you

La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
The love you give me keeps me hanging on honey
All I ever need is you

La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
But I found my treasures in your soul honey
All I ever need is you

La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la...

Don't Fall In Love With A Dreamer

Kim Carnes - Dave Ellingson

© Almo Music, ASCAP / Appian Music, ASCAP

with Kim Carnes

Just look at you sitting there you never looked better than tonight
And it'd be so easy to tell you I'd stay like I've done so many times
I was so sure this would be the night you closed the door and want to stay with me
And it'd be so easy to tell you I'd stay like I've done so many times

Don't fall in love with a dreamer cause he'll always take you in
Just when you think you really change him he'll leave you again
Don't fall in love with a dreamer cause he'll break you every time
Oh could I fly just hold on before we say goodbye

Now it's morning and the phone rings
And you say you've gotta get your things together
You just gotta leave before you change your mind
And if you knew would I was thinking girl I turned around
If you'd just ask me one more time

Don't fall in love with a dreamer cause he'll always take you in...
Before we say goodbye goodbye

Baby I'm A Want You

David Gates

© Screen Gems Music, BMI

with Dottie West

Baby I'm a want you baby I'm a need you
You're the only one I care enough to hurt about
Maybe I'm crazy but I just can't live without

Your lovin' and affection givin' me direction
Like a guiding light to help me through the darkest hour
Lately I'm prayin' that you'll always be a stayin' beside me

Used to be my life was just emotions passing by
Feeling all the while and never really knowing why

Lately I'm praying that you'll always be a staying here beside me

Then you came along and made me laugh and made me cry
You taught me why

Baby I'm a want you baby I'm a need you...

Together Again

Buck Owens

© Central Songs, BMI

with Dottie West

Together again my tears have stopped fallin'
The long lonely nights are now at an end
The key to my heart you hold in your hand
And nothing else matters now we're together again

Together again the grey skies are gone
You're back in my arms right where you belong
The love that I knew is living again
And nothing else matters girl we're together again

Together again my tears have stopped fallin'
You're back in my arms and we're together again
Oh again

Anyone Who Isn't Me Tonight

Casey Kelly - Julie Didier

© Gold Music, ASCAP

with Dottie West

When you made love to me tonight I felt as if I'd died and gone to heaven
And if that's how it feels to die then lay me in your arms I'm through with livin'
I'll get down on my knees and thank the good Lord up above
That I'm the lucky girl you chose to love

And I feel sorry for anyone who isn't me tonight
So if you think I'm braggin' well you're right
Your love has sent me flyin' and I'm higher than a kite
And I feel sorry for anyone who isn't me tonight

You've got the kinda body that was made to give a man a lotta pleasure
But what you've givin' me tonight is more than anything on earth can measure
Every inch of you that's woman makes me that much more a man
I've just about enjoyed all I can stand

I feel sorry for anyone who isn't me tonight...
And I feel sorry for anyone who isn't me tonight...

That's The Way It Could Have Been

Tammy Wynette

© Lovolar Music, BMI / Songs Of Universal, BMI

with Dottie West

I was so excited when you asked if I could go
But mama said I'd have to ask my daddy
I met him at the front door so afraid that he'd say no
But he smiled and said let mama get you ready

In your cotton shirt and faded jeans you came for me
And the gingham dress was all I had to wear
With a dollar in your pocket and a borrowed car
You picked a yellow daisy for my hair

That's the way it could have been
That's the way it should have been
If I had met you way back then
That's the way it would have been

I put away my gingham for a pretty dress of white
And you wore a suit instead of faded jeans
Our wedding day was perfect and we loved away the night
Life was filled with lots of dreams

We bought a house upon a hill outside of town
And two young people finally settled in
And you just won't believe the little children running round
And they pick yellow daisies now and then

That's the way it could have been...

If I had met you way back then
That's the way it would have been
