What She Don't Know Won't Hurt Her

My woman thinks I wouldn't cheat
On her when we're apart
But there's a secret hidden
In the shadows of my heart

The truth is catching up with me
And it's hard to hide my shame
What she don't know won't hurt her
But it's drivin' me insane

My mind can't take my body
Runnin' 'round anymore
That guilty feelin's waitin' for me
Right outside my door

So let's just call it off tonight
And let my conscience be
What she don't know won't hurt her
But it's destroyin' me

It bothers me every time
I hear the doorbell ring
That someone might be droppin' by
To tell her everything

I stay upset 'cause I don't know
If anybody sees
What she don't know won't hurt her
But it's destroyin' me

My mind can't take my body
Runnin' 'round anymore
That guilty feelin's waitin' for me
Right outside my door

So let's just call it off tonight
And let my conscience be
What she don't know won't hurt her
But it's destroyin' me

What she don't know won't hurt her
But, Lord, it's killin' me

When A Fool Learns

Wish I was in your shoes
I wish you were hurtin' me instead of me hurtin' you
I wish that you were walkin' out on me again
Wish I could feel your heart
'Cause I know the way it feels to be left broken apart
I wish that I could be your fool right to the end
But when a fool learns how to say it's over
When a fool leaves he's never comming back
Once he's learned his lesson there's no one quite as strong
When a fool learns how to say goodbye, he's gone
I wish I still loved you
I wish that fire still raged inside like it used to do
I wish that I could hold you and pretend it does
I wish my heart was wrong
I wish that I could fight it but the feeling's all gone
Wish I was that forgiving fool I always was
But when a fool learns how to say it's over
When a fool leaves he's never comming back
Once he's learned his lesson there's no one quite as strong
When a fool learns how to say goodbye, he's gone
When a fool learns how to say it's over
When a fool leaves he's never comming back
Once he's learned his lesson there's no one quite as strong
(fade) When a fool learns how to say goodbye, he's gone

When A Man Can't Get A Woman Off His Mind

i've been fightin' with these sheets again
can't make myself lie still
my pillowcase is soakin' wet
and yet l feel a chill
it takes all i can do these days
to just survive the nights
it gets crazy when a man can't get a woman off his mind

when a man can't shake a memory
he runs hot and cold and blind
he hates her, then he loves her
then he hates her one more time
your love has such a grip on me
it chokes me like a vine
oh, it's crazy when a man can't get a woman off his mind

i've been phonin' you since eight o'clock
it's almost four a.m.
my mind keeps paintin' pictures
of you out lovin' him
i just crushed a dixie cup
for runnin' out of wine
it gets crazy when a man can't get a woman off his mind

when a man can't shake a memory
he runs hot and cold and blind
he hates her, then he loves her
then he hates her one more time
your love has such a grip on me
it chokes me like a vine
oh, it's crazy when a man can't get a woman off his mind

yeah, it drives him crazy when a man can't get a woman off his mind

Where Love Begins

Come in, pretty lady, you've just made my night
I wasn't too sure that you'd call
Sit down and I'll fix you a drink if you like
It's late but the morning's still young
I'm glad you could make it, I hoped you'd get by
I thought about this all week through
What's that, what's the matter, what's making you cry
You say it'e the first time for you

Leave if you'd rather not lose what you came for
Walk out the same door that I let you in
Leave if you'd rather not lose what you came with
Stay and you'll find this is where love begins

It's not like we're strangers I've kissed your warm lips
But someone was always right there
But now we're alone so there's no buts or ifs
Come here, let me take down your hair

Leave if you'd rather not lose what you came for
Walk out the same door that I let you in
Leave if you'd rather not lose what you came with
Stay and you'll find this is where love begins

With Any Luck At All

You may wonder why I never do stay sober
I'll tell my story if somebody wants to hear
There is someone that I never got over
I still think about her often, but now not quiet so clear

'Cos the whiskey numbs my mind and clouds my vision
So her memory doesn't hurt me all the time
And the longer I stay in this condition
With any luck at all I'll lose my mind

There's no way to completely drown memory
I oughta know 'cos I've tried too far so long
But no matter how I drink, she's always with me
And I know I won't forget her till my mind's completely gone

But the whiskey numbs my mind and clouds my vision
So her memory doesn't hurt me all the time
And the longer I stay in this condition
With any luck at all I'll lose my mind
With any luck at all I'll lose my mind

You Could Know As Much About A Stranger

Our bodies lay here side by side
But our thoughts have turned the other way
We make the conversation of two people
Who have nothing left to say
We're so accustomed to each other
We no longer care or bother
And there lies the danger
You know the size of clothes I wear
And you know how I comb my hair
But you could know as much about a stranger
I can't remember the last time
That I really wanted you
And we both say nothing's wrong
But it's here in everything we do
So we get up from our beds
Leaving many things unsaid
And there lies the danger
Many of my words you don't hear
You seldom notice if I'm near
You could know as much about a stranger
What went wrong, I can't name it
Find the fault, I can't blame it
On any one thing
We're so used to things this way
Tomorrow's just like yesterday
And there lies the danger
You know the colour of my eyes
You know the things I despise
But you could know as much about a stranger
Yes, you could know as much about a stranger

You Gave Me A Mountain

Born in the heat of the desert my mother died giving me life
Deprived of the love of a father blamed for the loss of his wife
You know Lord I've been in a prison for something I've never done
It's been one hill after another but I've climbed them all one by one

But this time you gave me a mountain
A mountain that I may never climb
And it isn't a hill any longer
You gave me a mountain this time

My woman got tired of the hardships tired of the grief and the strife
So tired of working for nothing tired of being my wife
She took my one ray of sunshine she took my pride and my joy
She took my reason for living oh she took my small baby boy

So this time Lord you gave me a mountain...
You gave me a mountain this time

You Put Out An Old Flame Last Night

I just called to thank you for turning me around
And showing me how love feels when it's right
You erased a memory my teardrops couldn't drown
When you put out an old flame last night

I never thought I'd find myself leaving her behind
But thanks to you, I finally see the light
'Cause I woke up this morning without her on my mind
You put out an old flame last night

It never even crossed my mind, finding someone else
'Cause I've been loving her 'most all my life
But you poured out more love to me than I have ever felt
When you put out an old flame last night

I never thought I'd find myself leaving her behind
But thanks to you, I finally see the light
'Cause I woke up this morning without her on my mind
You put out an old flame last night
Yes, you put out an old flame last night

You Sure Make Cheatin' Seem Easy

You caught me when my arms were empty
And my better judgement was gone
We're makin' sweet music together
But I should be dancin' at home

You sure make cheatin' seem easy
You've got a way of makin' wrong seem right
You sure make cheatin' seem easy
And I'm takin' it easy tonight

My conscience just took a vacation
'Cause my heart was beating in chains
We're both a mister and missess
But we've got two different last names

You sure make cheatin' seem easy
You've got a way of makin' wrong seem right
You sure make cheatin' seem easy
And I'm takin' it easy tonight
And I'm takin' it easy tonight

You're Out Doing What I'm Here Doing Without

You've been staying out late almost every night
While I sit home and wait for you
Sometimes until it's daylight
You think that I'm a fool
That I don't know what it's all about
But I think that you're out doing
What I'm here doing without
Girl, I wanna tell you that you're
Late hours are bringing me down
You're so tired when you come home at night
That you don't even care that I'm around
If you'd just love me like you used to
You'd make me wanna jump and shout
But, I think that you're out doing
What I'm here doing without
--- Instrumental ---
(What I'm here doing without)
It's a sad situation when you don't
Get no loving at home
And if you don't watch your step, girl,
You're gonna find yourself all alone
Still you think that you can get by
As long as you can keep me in doubt
But, I think that you're out doing
What I'm here doing without
I don't know how long
That I can put up with what
You're putting me through
Half the time I don't know
Where you are or what you are up to
And you don't even care when
You think that I'm a little put out
And I think that you're out doing
What I'm here doing without
Well I know that you're out doing
What I'm here doing without...
