Well, I never felt more like singing the blues
'Cause I never thought that I'd ever lose our love
Dear, why'd you do me this way?
Well, I never felt more like crying all night
'Cause everything's wrong and nothing ain't right
Without you, you've got me singing the blues.

Well, the moon and the stars no longer shine
The dream is gone I thought was mine
There's nothing left for me to do
But cry, cry, cry, cry over you.
Well, I never felt more like running away
But why should I go cause I couldn't stay
Without you you've got me singing the blues.

--- Instrumental ---

Well, the moon and the stars no longer shine
The dream is gone I thought was mine
There's nothing left for me to do
But cry, cry, cry, cry over you.
Well, I never felt more like running away
But why should I go cause I couldn't stay
Without you you've got me singing the blues...

. . .


I just can't get it through my head
You love another now instead
Can't make myself believe we're really through.
I'm walking up and down the hall, talking to the silent wall
I'll lose my mind before I'm over you.

I think I've almost lost my mind I think about you all the time
I'm going crazy yes I know and I don't have far to go
The way you treat me is a shame but I'll keep loving you the same
I'll lose my mind before I'm over you.

--- Instrumental ---

I keep your letters, I should burn, I wear your ring, I should return
But there's a million foolish things I do
It makes me cry but you would laugh to know I kiss your photograph
I'll lose my mind before I'm over you.

I think I've almost lost my mind I think about you all the time
I'm going crazy yes I know and I don't have far to go
The way you treat me is a shame but I'll keep loving you the same
I'll lose my mind before I'm over you...

. . .


You don't have to be a baby to cry
All you need is for love to go wrong
You don't have to be a baby to cry
Or to lay awake the whole night long.

When you leave me my golden rainbow disappears
Then you leave me a broken heart that's full of tears
These ain't raindrops in my eyes, why should I lie?
You don't have to be a baby to cry.

--- Instrumental ---

When you leave me my golden rainbow disappears
Then you leave me a broken heart that's full of tears
These ain't raindrops in my eyes, why should I lie?
You don't have to be a baby to cry.

A little bitty baby, you don't have to be a baby to cry...

Who'll Help Me Get Over You

I'll help you get over your old love
Who'll help me get over you?

I furnished the shoulder you cried on
When she hurt you by turning you down
You still come to me when you're lonely
I love you so I've stayed around.

I'll help you get over your old love
Now my heart is breaking in two
I'll help you get over your lost love
Who'll help me get over you?

--- Instrumental ---

Your heart keeps on searching for someone
So I caught you when she let you fall
I've loved you so long now in silence
But you'll never love me at all.

I'll help you get over your heartbreak
Now my heart is breaking in two
Who'll help me get over my heartache
Who'll help me get over you?...

. . .


So long we've been married last burden we've carried
Though fate kept us humble and made our love true
But plans that we'd make up someone seems to break up
Oh darling what else can we do.

We may have to leave here to find piece of mind dear
Some place where we can live a life all our own
I know you love me and happy we could be
If some folks would leave us alone.

--- Instrumental ---

They say you are leavin' that you are deceivin'
But you tell me they say the same about me
But we'll show them there on that loose talk and do harm
And hope that's the truth they will see.

We may have to leave here to find piece of mind dear
Some place where we can live a life all our own
I know you love me and happy we could be
If some folks would leave us alone.

--- Instrumental ---

When I go out walkin' there's lots of loose talkin'
They say we're unhappy and we'll break apart
But darling, that's not true because I still love you
And I do with all of my heart.

We may have to leave here to find piece of mind dear
Some place where we can live a life all our own
I know you love me and happy we could be
If some folks would leave us alone...

. . .


(Where were you? Where were you?)

Where were you when you left my heart alone
And the nights you didn't bother to come home
Now you say my love's grown cold I guess it's true
But when loneliness within where were you.

Where were you when we lost the love we had
When I wanted you and needed you so bad
Now you're blaming me for things I didn't do
All the nights I spent a crying where were you.

The lonely hours were just too much for me
With only tears to keep me company
That's what destroyed the love that we once knew
Stop and think when it happened where were you.

--- Instrumental ---

The lonely hours were just too much for me
With only tears to keep me company
That's what destroyed the love that we once knew
Stop and think when it happened where were you...

While I'm at home a workin' and a slavin' this way
You're out a misbehavin' spendin' all of your pay
On wine women and song.
while I'm a makin' beds you're out a makin' time
You rob my piggy bank and spend my last thin dime
On wine women and song.

Well, one of these nights you're gonna come home
You'll find its coming on to you
You'll see what you've done and what's good for one
Is also good for two.

When you're in the doghouse
With that mangy old pup
You may start to thinkin'
And a given' up
Your wine women and song.

Well, one of these nights you're gonna come home
You'll find its coming on to you
You'll see what you've done and what's good for one
Is also good for two...

Why does the sun go on shining
Why does the sea rush to shore
Don't they know it's the end of the world
'Cause you don't love me anymore.

Why do the birds go on singing
Why do the stars glow above
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when I lost your love.

I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Why everything's the same as it was
I can't understand, no I can't understand
Why life goes on the way it does.

Why does my heart go on beating
Why do these eyes of mine cry
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when you said goodbye.

--- Instrumental ---

Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when you said goodbye...

(Bob Wills - Lee Ross)

I may say that I don't care
Hold my head up in the air
Even tell my friends I'm glad that you don't call
But when the day is through
My heartaches start anew
And that's when I miss you most of all.

And my arms keep reaching for you
My eyes keep searching for you
My lips keep calling for you
And my shoes keep walking back to you.

--- Instrumental ---

No matter how much I pretend
I wish I had you back again
For nothing else means half as much as you
My world just seemed to die
The day you said goodbye
And I can't forget no matter how I cry.

And my arms keep reaching for you
My eyes keep searching for you
My lips keep calling for you
And my shoes keep walking back to you...

. . .


Am I fool number one or am I fool number two
How many other girls have been fooled by you
I suppose that the number is far from being small
But I'll bet that I'm the biggest fool of all.

If I had the chance I guess I'd do it all again
I'd go down that same old road even knowing at the end
You'd leave me when your heart hears a new love call
So I guess that I'm the biggest fool of all.

--- Instrumental ---

Am I fool number one or am I fool number two
How many other girls have been fooled by you

But I'll bet that I'm the biggest fool of all.

I'd go down that same old road even knowing at the end
You'd leave me when your heart hears a new love call
So I guess that I'm the biggest fool of all...

I watched you leave
That's how I know you're gone
But this heart of mine
Keeps telling me I'm wrong.

I see your face
Before me every night
In this haunted house
When I turn off the light.

Sometimes I hear you
Walk across the floor
And my arms reach out
To hold you like before.

I live for all the things
We used to do
In this haunted house
I filled with love for you.

This haunted house
I'm living in is killing me
And the ghost of your love
Won't set me free.

Each morning finds me
Crying and alone
In this haunted house
We used to call our home.

Each morning finds me
Crying and alone
In this haunted house
We used to call our home...

. . .


It wasn't very long ago
That he held me so close
But the little love he had has died for me
Who loved him most.

He left me for another
And didn't say goodbye
And if you're next to love him
Then you'll be next to cry.

Get set for a heartache
That's all I can say
Get set for a heartache's
On its way.

--- Instrumental ---

He'll make you think he loves you too
But you'll find it's not true
You'll learn that when you need him most
He'll be with someone new.

Your love will all be wasted
That's how it was with me
And soon heartaches will tell you
You're just his used to be.

Get set for a heartache
That's all I can say
Get set for a heartache's
On its way...
