Cher Album

When you're talkin' in your sleep,
And the name that you whisper ain't mine
And I've finally faced the fact
That you're cheatin' on me one more time
When my anger starts to rumble
And my steam starts to rise
And the wheels keep turning
Faster as I think of all your lies

Oh that train of thought runnin' right on time
But it's off the track and I'm losing my mind
'Cause the way you used me
Gonna drive me insane honey
Say you'll never leave me
For God's sake stop the train

Oh the camel back is broken
By the one extra straw added on
And a woman can't see reason
When her last ray of sunshine is gone
There's a finger on the trigger
And that locomotive sound
And I think how much I love you
And I turn the gun around

Oh that train of thought runnin' right on time
But it's off the track and I'm losing my mind
And you hold me the last time
As I try to explain, honey
Don't feel bad about me
I just had to stop this train

Gotta get off, gotta get off
Gotta get off, gotta get off (woo-woo)
Gotta get off, gotta get off
This train of thought (woo-woo)
Gotta get off, gotta get off (woo-woo)
Gotta get off, gotta get off
The train of thought (woo-woo)

I was by myself drinkin'
Chilled lonely wine
Then he walked in with some woman
Who's place was once mine
And she wore his ring on her finger
And the band began a song
I'd heard before

CHORUS:
I saw a man and he danced with his wife
How I wished he was dancing with me
'Cause I remember before
When we danced on this floor
His eyes were only on me

Where did I go wrong
They were playin' our song
While I was cryin' all night long
I kept watchin' as they dance so divine
I kept hopin' kept on lookin'
But I couldn't catch his eye

Oh, then he got up and he saw me
But he just walked right on by
And danced with her

Chorus

Where did I go wrong
They were playin' our song
While I was cryin' all night long

Two weeks later
I heard a knock on my door
He's back
Just like all those good time before
Ah, then he kissed me
And he told me
I left her 'cause I love you,
So much more than I knew

Chorus

I saw a man and he danced with his wife

Lord I haven't ask for anything
In such a long, long time
Not since that brand new party dress
When I was eight or nine
And I know the world's in such a stench
You got a lot to do
But if you ever find yourself
With a minute or two
Won'tcha please

[Chorus:]
Make the man love me
Ah make the man see
I'd be so good for him
If he'd start letting me
Come on now
Make the man love me
Ah make the man care
Just open up his heart, Lord
And I'll take it from there

Lord I know that he needs me
It's just he don't know
And my heart so full of him
It's gonna overflow
And so if you should have a miracle
You wanna do up right
Ah won'tcha take him by the hand
And show him the light
Won'tcha you please

[Chorus]

Oh I want him
Lord how I want him
To make some love to me
Won'tcha make him see
How sweet it could be
So come on come on now

JUST WHAT I'VE BEEN LOOKIN' FOR
WRITER KENNY O'DELL

You were told to wait there for love.
Love says it's waiting for you.
And all I want to say
is I know it's never easy
getting all dressed up with no place to go.
Help, for, that's what we're here for.
All one together.
Is no one alone
Come see your sister.
Call her your own.
Will no one hold you
We'll hold you.

The fortune queen of New Orleans
Was brushing her cat in her black limousine
On the back seat were scratches
From the marks of men her fortune she had won
Couldn't see through the tinted glass
She said, "Home James" and he hit the gas
I followed her to some darkened room
She took my money, she said, "I'll be with you soon"

CHORUS:
Dark lady laughed and danced
And lit the candles one by one
Danced to her gypsy music
Till her brew was done
Dark lady played black magic
Till the clock struck on the twelve
She told me more about me
Than I knew myself

She dealt two cards, a queen and a three
And mumbled some words
That were so strange to me
Then she turned up a two-eyed jack
My eyes saw red but the card
Still stayed black
She said the man you love is secretly true
To someone else who is very close to you
My advice is that you leave this place
Never come back and forget you ever saw my face

Chorus

So I ran home and crawled in my bed
I couldn't sleep because of all the things she said
Then I remembered her strange perfume
And how I smelled it once in my own room
So I sneaked back and caught her with my man
Laughing and kissing till they saw the gun in my hand
The next thing I knew they were dead on the floor
Dark lady would never turn a card up anymore

Chorus

MISS SUBWAY OF 1952
WRITER MARY F. CAIN

To my idol the divine
Hope this never happens to us
[Chorus:]
She may look a little worn out
She may have a couple of gray hairs
A little ragged a little haggard
A few wrinkles here and there
But you should of seen her 21 years ago
She would of captivated you
Why she was Miss Subway of 1952
She had a stunting figure
And her hips weren't any bigger
Than her bust line
She's gotten just a little saggy
And her skin's a trifle baggy
But there was a time
When everything was perfectly place
She had a beautiful face
She may look a little made up
Especially around the eyes
A little groupie, a little droopy
But once they were quit a prize
Yes you should of seen her 21 years ago
They were a devastating view
Why she was Miss Subway of 1952
She had a million men around her
Giving gifts that would astound her
Why she couldn't even walk down the street
Yeah she had lovers by the dozen
And she even had some cousins
Who just couldn't stop
Throwing themselves at her feet
She was so dainty and sweet
[Chorus]

When I was a little girl in Dixie
I used to chase the fireflies
Then I grew up and started chasing the guys
Teenage romance what just the thing
Till I got in a family way
Now mama only working in a cheap café

CHORUS:
Waiting on tables and passing myself around
Dixie girl, you're the small talk
In a small talking town
I fall in love every day with someone
Who ends up just driving away
While I dreaming I with him
Going down that west bound highway

One night a man walks in and smiles
And orders coffee black
Took me for a ride in his brand new cadillac
Told me he loved me with all his heart
I told him I loved him too
He said goodbye Dixie, I'll be back for you

Chorus

Now all I do is read those Hollywood photograph magazines
Work my shifts for tips and live alone in my dreams
I'm a Dixie girl who prays some day she'll be a Delta queen
Fine a good man, who'll raise me and my baby

Chorus x 2

Rescue me, take me in your arms
Rescue me. I want your tender charms
'Cause I'm lonely and I'm blue
I need you and your love too
Come on and rescue me

[Chorus:]
Come on baby, and rescue me
Come on baby, and rescue me
'Cause I need you by my side
Can't you see that I'm lonely

Rescue me, come on and take my heart
Take your love and conquer every part
'Cause I'm lonely and I'm blue
I need you and your love too
Come on and rescue me

[Chorus]

Come on baby, take me baby
Hold me baby, love me baby
Can't you see that I need you baby
Can't you see that I'm lonely
Rescues me
Come on and take my hand

Come on baby and be my man
'Cause I love you
'Cause I want you
Can't you see that I'm lonely
Take me baby
Love me baby
Need me baby
Can't you see that I'm lonely

What'll I do, when you are far away
And I'm so blue what'll I do
What'll I do when I am wondering
Who is kissing you
What'll I do

What'll I do with just a photograph
To tell my troubles to
When I am alone
With all the dreams of you
That won't come true
What will I do

What'll I do when you are far away
And I am blue what'll I do

APPLES DON'T FALL FAR FROM THE TREE
Writer Bob Stone

When I was five
I put on Mama's high heel shoes
And paint my face
And dance across the living room
In Ruby's place
Well the music was always playing
Girls laugh while the men were sayin'

Chorus:

Apples don't fall far from the tree
Hey, honey come sit on my knee
Apples don't fall far from the tree
And I remember Mama's tears
When they said in a few years
I'd be something to see

At seventeen I had me a diamond
And a string of pearls
The men said they preffered me
To the other girls
They took me to the best places
But I could read it on their faces

(chorus)

Then when Mama died I made up my mind
To get on a Greyhound , get out of this town
And leave it all behind

But life goes on
A child of three smiles up at me
While she plays
The man I love has never heard of "Ruby's Place"
When he holds her with affection
And he uses that old expression

(chorus)
