Dolly Parton

Got my eye on a boy
He's eyeing me back
It's looking real good
This could be it
And i know that all of you girls
Would love to steal him away
He bought me a drink
I thanked him real sweet
It's always so nice when you first meet
And i know that all of you women would love to steal him away
So i'm warning you

Chorus:

Better keep your hands off my
Better keep your hands off my
Better keep your hands off my potential new boyfriend
Building up an appetite
You can look but you can't buy
Better keep your hands off my potential new boyfriend

Pretty as a picture
Comin' on so strong
He's twisting my ignition key
Turn my motor on
But anyone can see, all his attention's on me
Give us some privacy

2nd chorus:

Better keep your hands off my
Better keep your hands off my
Better keep your hands off my potential new boyfriend
Better keep your hands off my
It's a welcome turn to try
Better keep your hands off my potential new boyfriend

Leave us alone tonight
Then if it don't work out right
He's all your's
Until then

3rd chorus:

Better keep your hands off my
Better keep your hands off my
Better keep your hands off my potential new boyfriend
They keep crowdin' in on me
He smiles rather unsuspiciously
Better keep your hands off my potential new boyfriend

Fade:

Repeat 1st chorus

Single bars and single women
With a single thought in mind
Just to make it till the morning
Looking for what they can find
For a man they won't remember
For a night they can't forget
Do you come to this place often?
May i light your cigarette?
Drinkin' beer in amarillo
Passing time and swaping jokes
Hoping for a new beginning
But beginning to lose hope
And you're waiting for that moment
When a glance becomes a stare
Mmm, what's that perfume that you're wearing?
Haven't i met you somewhere?

Find a matchbook in the morning
With a name and number scrawled
When you phone, a woman answers
And you wish you'd never called
Oh, they're friendly when they meet you
But they're strangers when they go
Ahh, do you mind if i come join you?
Would you like to dance one more?

And it's gettin' near to closing
And the seconds pass like years
Lots of friends to share the laughter
Not a one to share the tears

Oh and you wish they'd change that juke box
Cause you know every song it plays
Can i drop you off at my place?
Oh, what's the matter, are you gay?
You gotta twenty in your pocket
Got your toothbrush in your purse
Life could get a whole lot better
But it better not get worse

Single bars and single women
With a single thought in mind
Just to make it till the morning
Looking for what they can find

Some men find her sexy, some men disagree
But if she's not, it's not because she doesn't want to be
She wears a push-up bra from freddericks, five inch high heel shoes
Maybelline and rubinstein, and avon's best perfume
She's a working girl
Chorus:

She's a working girl, she is single and free
She's a mother and wife and she's proud to be
A working girl

Some find her to aggressive, she don't know how to stop
Cause she's the kind that don't look down until it's from the top
She's elegant and stylish, french perfume and a fur
Designer clothes by halston and diane von furstenburg
And she's a working girl

Repeat chorus

She has taken her place among the tallest of trees
But she weeps like a willow when she's brought to her knees
Cause she's a working girl

You'll find her dressed according to standard uniform
Cause she must dress in comfort for the job she must perform
She has so many faces, she wears so many names
She goes so many places and she does so many things
Cause she's a working girl

Repeat chorus

Fade:

Repeat chorus twice

Downtown tonight, i saw an old friend, someone who
I use to take comfort from long before i met you
I caught a spark from his eyes of forgotten desire
With a word, or a touch, i could have rekindled that fire
Old flames can't hold a candle to you
No one can light up the night like you do
Flickering embers of love
I've known one or two
But old flames can't hold a candle to you

Sometimes at night, i think of old lovers i've known
I remember how holding them helped me not feel so alone
Then i feel you beside me and even their memories are gone
Like stars in the night lost in the sweet light of dawn

Old flames can't hold a candle to you
No one can light up the night like you do
Flickering embers of love
I've known one or two
But old flames can't hold a candle to you
Old flames can't hold a candle to you
Mmmm...

There is a house down in new orleans
Down in the vieux carr'e
A house they call the rising sun
Where love and money are made
My father he was a gambler
Mother died when i was young
And i've worked since then
To please the men
At the house of the rising sun

There is a house
Down in new orleans
They call the rising sun
It's been the ruin of many a good girl
And oh god, you know i'm one

So mothers you go telling all your daughters
Not to do what i've done
To live a life of sin, shame and strife
In the house of the rising sun

There is a house in new orleans
They call the rising sun
It's been the ruin of many a good girl
And oh god, you know i'm one
Oh god, you know i'm one
