1. _ Money
Money let's me fly to Paris for lunch
And money puts caviar on the crackers I munch
It'll let me buy all kinds of expensive this and that
But I'll tell you a secret about money
I been keepin' under my designer hat
You know, money ain't what I need
A dollar bill can't give me kiss
When a little kiss is all I need
It can't take me for a ride in the country
Or walkin' in the rain
Money never feels any joy
Honey it sure don't feel any pain
I don't need money, all I need is you, oh, oh
Oh, oh, 'cause honey, honey
Honey without you I'd be dining alone
Surrounded by those things I bought
And they still don't make my house my house
What good is drinkin' your coffee from a costly cup
If you're drinkin' it all by yourself when the sun comes up
You know, money ain't what I need
A dollar bill can't give me kiss
When a little kiss is all I need
It can't take me for a ride in the country
Or walkin' in the rain
Money never feels any joy
Honey it sure don't feel any pain
I don't need money, all I need is you, oh, oh
Oh, oh, 'cause honey, honey
Honey without you I'd be dining alone
All I need is you, oh, oh, oh, oh
Honey, honey don't need money
All I need is you

3. _ Do Ya'
Do you still get a thrill when ya see me comin' up the hill?
Honey, now do ya?
Do ya whisper my name just to bring a little comfort to ya?
Do ya?
Do ya still like the feel of my body lyin' next to ya?
Well, I guess what I'm askin'
Do you still love me?
Oh, do you lie awake thinkin' I'm the biggest mistake you ever made?
Honey, now do ya?
And if just by snappin' your fingers
You could snap them fingers and make it all go away.
Honey, now would ya?
Do ya miss me when I'm gone
But sometimes wish that I'd stay gone just a little bit longer?
Well, I guess what I'm askin'
Is do you still love me?
'Cause honey, I sure do still love you.
At least I think I do.
And these questions I'm askin'
You could ask them of me too.
Do ya still get a thrill when ya see me comin' up the hill
Honey, now do ya?
Oh, do ya?
Do ya whisper my name just to bring a little comfort to ya?
Do ya?
Do you still like the feel of my body lyin' next to ya?
Whoa-oa-oa yeah
Well I guess what I'm askin'
Is do you still love me?
Yes, I guess what I'm askin'
Is do ya still love me, do ya?
Do ya?
Oh, do ya?
Tell me, do ya?

4. _ Hold Me
[Husband comes home and he says, “Wife turn down the radio, turn off the t.v., and listen to me. Let me tell you about my day.†So she sits down and she listens and he begins to speak.]
When I left here this morning
I was bound and determined
I was never gonna come back
Never, never, I was running
I was running from you darling
I was running from my job
I was running from the kid in me
He never knows when to stop
Got as far as the edge of town
Then I turned my car around
And headed back to you
[Husband says, “Wife, what do you think?†Wife says, “It's very interesting. Before we talk about your day let's talk about mine.â€] When I left here this morning
I was bound and determined
I was never gonna come back
Never, never, I was running
I was running from you darling
I was running from my job
I was running from some wrinkles
No cream will stop
Got as far as the edge of town
Then I turned my car around
And headed back to you
(Chorus:) Come here and hold me, tighter
Tell me tomorrow will be brighter
Kiss me, kiss me a little harder
Don't kiss like we're married
Kiss me like we're lovers
We looked at each other
And we started to grin
This morning it was over
This evening we'll start it all over again
Come her and hold me, hold me tighter
Won't you tell me tomorrow'll be brighter
Won't you kiss me, kiss me, kiss me a little harder
Honey don't kiss me like we're married
Kiss me like we're lovers and hold me
Hold me, hold me

5. _ She Don't Talk Like Us No More
Used to be my very best friend
We went everywhere together
Even shared a boyfriend once or twice
She was never satisfied
Nothing 'round here suited her
She never phones, she never writes
Old friend that ain't right
She don't talk like us no more
She done run off and got certified
She don't act like us no more since she moved away
Using words she never used before
She's almost as skinny as a movie star
She don't even walk like us no more
Now when she visits you'd think
Minor royalty'd come to town
All she does is talk about the city
And she puts all the local stuff down
She never asks me how I've been
Or what I've been up to, it's a lesson in geography
Ain't it amazing what a few miles can do
She don't talk like us no more
She done run off and got certified
She don't act like us no more since she moved away
Using words she never used before
She's almost as skinny as a movie star
She don't even walk like us no more
I don't believe how uppity she's gotten, do you believe it?
Honey, who, who does she think she is?
Yeah, I don't believe how uppity she's gotten, do you believe it?
Oh honey, who, who does she think is?

6. _ 80's Ladies
We were three little girls from school.
One was pretty, one was smart
And one was a borderline fool.
Well she's still good lookin'
That woman hadn't slipped a bit.
The smart one used her head
She made her fortune.
And me, I cross the border every chance I get.
We were the girls of the 50's.
Stoned rock and rollers in the 60's.
And more than our names got changed
As the 70's slipped on by.
Now we're 80's ladies.
There ain't been much these ladies ain't tried.
We've been educated.
We got liberated.
And had complicating matters with men.
Oh, we've said "I do"
And we've signed "I don't"
And we've sworn we'd never do that again.
Oh, we burned our bras,
And we burned our dinners
And we burned our candles at both ends.
And we've had some children
Who look just like the way we did back then.
Oh, but we're all grown up now.
All grown up,
But none of us could tell you quite how.
We were the girls of the 50's.
Stoned rock and rollers in the 60's.
Hunny, more than our names got changed,
As the 70's slipped on by.
Now we're 80's ladies.
There ain't been much these ladies ain't tried.
A- my name is Alice.
I'm gonna marry Artie.
We're gonna sell apples
And live in Arkansas.
B- my name is Betty.
I'm gonna marry Bobby.
We're gonna sell beans
And live in Brazil.
C- my name is Connie.
I'm gonna marry Charlie.
We're gonna sell cars
And live in California.

7. _ Lonely But Only for You
My friends set me up with someone
They know I'll just love, they say
Oh, he's just your type, he's just the right one
To chase your blues away
Friends are such good arrangers
But I'm not in the mood for strangers
Honey, I'm lonely but only for you
I'm only lonely for all the things we used to do
Hey, I can function quite well, hey, you can hardly tell
That I'm lonely but only for you
Yes, I'm lonely but only for you
Now I miss the love the touch
That melted night into dawn
Oh, I miss the talks, I miss that shoulder
I know I could lean on, it's the same old story
No one else does anything for me
Honey, I'm lonely but only for you
I'm only lonely for all the things we used to do
Hey, I can function quite well, hey, you can hardly tell
That I'm lonely but only for you
Yes, I'm lonely but only for you
I'm so lonely but only for you
|

8. _ Jealous
I see you every day but you don't see me
No, you hardly even look my way
No, your eyes are only for her
And her eyes are often gazing another's way
She makes me jealous
She makes you jealous too
You're jealous of these other fellas
I'm just jealous about you
Ain't it a funny? Ain't it a joke?
The only heart that's cheating
Is the only heart that ain't being broke
She makes me so jealous
And honey, I, I oughta run up to you
And tell you myself, you know
She's throwing your love away
Find the nearest sunset
And love your night into a lovely day
Honey, if I could, wouldn't life be fine?
But here I stand afraid to try
I'm rooted to this pot just like a tree
Oh, heartache or misery
She makes me jealous
She makes you jealous too
You're jealous of these other fellas
I'm just jealous about you
Ain't it a funny? Ain't it a joke?
Honey, her cheating heart
Is the only heart that ain't being broke
She makes me so jealous
Now I can't help it she makes me jealous
Oh, oh, oh so jealous
I'm gonna go on jealous
I just can't help it, she makes me jealous
Oh, she makes me so jealous

9. _ Didn't Expect It to Go Down This Way
I'm overworked and I'm overweight
I can't remember when I last had a date
Oh, I didn't expect it to go down this way
I used to love and I used to be loved
And now love's a scary thing to think of
Oh, I didn't expect it to go down this way
I been dating for years, honey, that ain't natural
I thought by now I'd find my man and settle down
Ain't a good one left in town
I'm lonely, how in the world did I end up lonely'
I knew life would be hard, but I didn't know how hard
I thought by now I'd be happy
Who's happy? Honey, not me
I'm lonely, how in the world did I end up lonely'
Oh, I didn't expect it to go down this way
No, I didn't expect it to go down this way
Oh I, I didn't expect it to go down this way

10. _ Old Pictures
There?s a little girl playing dress up
Somewhere under all that lace
Standing in her momma?s high heels shoes
With a lipstick covered face
Here?s a little boy on a pony
He?s a cowboy all the way
Used to pull my hair and make me mad
At the Saturday matinee
Oh who?d have thought I?d lose my heart
To the same little boy someday
(Chorus:)
(Looking through my old pictures
Faded photographs
Some of them bring me close to tears
Others make me laugh
Old memories seem to come alive
And open up the past again
And let me dream inside)
Here?s brother with his very first automobile
We thought he?d wash the paint away
He took a job that took him west
He?s doing very well
But we don?t see much of brother these days
This is my favorite of my paw-paw
He?s dressed up in his Sunday suit
Wide brimmed hat
A watch on a chain
I?m gonna tell you the truth
It?s a picture of a downright handsome man
Caught in the prime of his youth
(Repeat Chorus)
Ooh, ooh, who taught time to fly
Ooh, ooh, who taught those years to just roll on by
(Repeat Chorus)

11. _ This Woman
I can still see your head on the pillow
I can still smell your manly perfume
I can still hear your heart, heart a-beating
Honey long after you?ve left the room
I?m thinking about you when, when I?m working
You?re breaking my power to concentrate
Oh, better be careful ?cause I might get fired
For thinking ?bout the fire we started yesterday
(Chorus:)
(This woman?s in love with you baby
This woman don?t think you can do no wrong
But I feel it?s only fair to warn you
This woman don?t stay in love for long)
And I will swear that I love, love you forever
And when forever is over I?m gonna be kind
?Cause I don?t see any reason
To leave a heart all broken and bleedin?
Especially when that bleedin? heart might be mine
?Cause one day I?ll roll over
And it?ll be over simple as that
One day I?ll roll over it?ll be over simple as that
(Repeat Chorus)

12. _ Truly Blue
You said you saw me
I was with another guy
Said it made you
Want to go home and cry
Well I know just how you feel
Well baby I caught you
But I never let you know that you'd been caught
But the straw that broke my camel's back
Was that blonde too stupid to talk
I swore I'd get even, even if it's the last thing I do
Now I'm just sitting here waiting for sweet revenge
You know somebody told me it's sweet as sweet has ever been
Well that somebody lied, honey all I do is cry
I evened it up the score but I went and lost the war
(Chorus:)
And now I'm truly blue since I don't have you
If I wrote my feelings down in a letter to you
I'd have to sign it yours truly blue
But now Miss Know-It-All
I'm sittin' here all alone
Yeah once in a while I pick up my phone
To see if the thing's still on
‘Cause it ain't ringing, ringing
I bet your phone is ringing off the wall
And honey oh how I miss you
And if you were here I'd kiss you
Baby but baby you're somebody else' baby now
(Repeat Chorus)
I'd have to sign it you

13. _ Wall of Tears
Looking out my window.
Staring through the pain.
I can't see the rainbow for the rain.
Someday I'll forget you.
Life goes on, they say;
But they don't know what's standing in my way.
There's a wall of tears that I got to get over.
Got to stop thinking of you;
Got to learn not to love you.
I know the sun will shine,
I'm gonna be fine, but until then:
The rain's gonna fall just like a wall of tears.
Another morning finds me
Still not over you,
Just another day to stumble through.
Nights go on forever,
I've got nothing but time;
Even time can't mend this heart of mine.
There's a wall of tears that I got to get over.
Got to stop thinking of you;
Got to learn not to love you.
I know the sun will shine,
I'm gonna be fine, but until then:
The rain's gonna fall just like a wall of tears.
They're gonna fall like a wall of tears.
Oh, oh, gonna fall.
Fall, fall, fall, like a wall of tears.

14. _ Younger Men
Women peak at 40 and men at 19
I remember laughing my head off when I read that in a magazine
(I was twenty at the time)
Now I'm staring forty right in the face
And the only trouble with being a woman my age, is the men my age.
That's why younger men are starting to catch my eye
I'm starting to stop what I'm doing
just to turn around and watch them walk by
At the very next opportunity
I'm gonna give a younger man a try
Because younger men are starting to catch my eye
Men my age, poor old darlings, they're worried and their harry
Some of them drink too much, whole lot of them are married
And honey here I'm at on the threshold of all that fun
I'm gonna try my best to cross it with a younger one
Oh, I said that younger men are starting to catch my eye
I'm starting to stop what I'm doing
Just to turn around and watch them walk by
At the very next opportunity
I'm gonna give a younger man a try
Because younger men are starting to catch my eye
(Musical interlude)
Woah, look over here
We got a cute little ol' runner to the right
Blue shorts, no shirt
Whoo! You're looking good darling
That's right, stay in shape
Ohh... Ohh... Ohhhhhhh...
Because younger men are starting to catch my eye
Yes, I said younger men are starting to catch my eye"

18. _ I'll Always Come Back
Well, there's a nursery rhyme,
It's a favorite of mine.
About a little girl and some sheep
That she could not find.
They told her not to worry,
They'd come back.
Darlin, you're my shepard,
I'm your little lamb.
But you ain't always gonna know where I am,
But don't you worry, I'll come back.
I'll always come back, come back baby, to you.
I'll always run back, straight to you.
I'll never get too far away from you.
I'll never get too lost that I can't be found.
And I'm never gonna swim too far out, I might drown.
And I'll always come back, come back baby, to you.
Well there's a wooden wonder from way down under,
They call a boomerang.
If you handle it right, it'll come back.
But, you must have had one when you were a boy.
'Cause you've got the touch that turns me into a toy.
And like a boomerang, I'll come back.
Keep your eyes on the horizon.
When you start to missing me,
Just look out your window and there I'll be.
'Cause I'll always come back, come back baby, to you.
I'll always run back, straight to you.
I'll never get too far away from you.
I'll never get too lost that I can't be found.
And I'm never gonna swim too far out, I might drown.
And I'll always come back, come back baby, to you.
I'll always come back, come back baby, to you.
K.t Oslin - I'll Always Come Back Song Lyrics from "Other Songs".

19. _ Hey Bobby
Hey Bobby.
Would you like to go for a ride in the country with me?
I'm celebratin'.
Ya see the four-wheeled beauty you're leanin' on
It finally belongs to me.
I've never owned a car before,
And I've never picked a boy up at his own front door.
It'd be a red letter day
If you'll come out and play in the country with me.
Hey Bobby.
Will you ride a little ways down 299 to a lovely little spot I found?
It's on a hilltop.
We can park in the shade and dance on the ground to a radio
station where the hits don't ever stop.
Watch the sun go down.
See the moon rise up.
Drink a champagne toast in a plastic cup.
Rock the night away, lookin' at stars, talkin 'bout cars
Bobby, with me.
Hey Bobby.
Do ya wanna huh?Do ya wanna huh?Huh?
Do ya wanna huh?Do ya wanna huh?Huh?
Do ya wanna huh?Do ya wanna huh? Huh?
Do ya wanna huh?Huh?
Watch the sun go down.
See the moon rise up.
Drink a champagne toast in a plastic cup.
In future times that be,
When ya need a good memory, Bobby, think about me.
Hey, Bobby.
Do ya wanna huh?Do ya wanna huh?Huh?
Do ya wanna huh?Do ya wanna huh?Huh?
Do ya wanna huh?Do ya wanna huh?Huh?
Do ya wanna huh?Do ya wanna huh?Huh?
How 'bout it Bobby?Ya wanna go for a ride in the country?
I'll get ya back real early, trust me.
