I DON'T GO BACK ANYMORE 

A friend of mine told me that you were down here last night
I almost called him a liar but I seen he was right,
Yeah, he was right.

I'm over my anger but that's about all
It's hard to recover from that kind of fall
A fool never knows when to give up
For years I remember those long nights of love

But, I don't go back, anymore
My heart's locked it's windows and bolted it's door
It's like trying to hold back the sea from the shore
No I, don't go back anymore

You're still just as pretty as you were back then
If I didn't know you, I'd fall again
So don't smile and tell me that you still care
Don't stir up my feelings, it just isn't fair

I don't go back, anymore
My heart's locked it's windows and bolted it's door
It's like trying to hold back the sea from the shore
No I, don't go back, anymore

No, I don't go back, anymore

A friend of mine told me you might be down here tonight...

I DON'T HAVE SENSE ENOUGH 

She's here today but she'll be gone tomorrow
Looks like I could learn and save myself some sorrow
A fool in love sometimes just can change
And I don't have sense enough to come in out of the pain.

Each time she leaves I tell myself we're through
Then I'll start missing her the way I always do
I guess that I will always be the same
'Cause I don't have sense enough to come in out of the pain.

Oh, how foolish of me to try and live this way
Knowing why she's here with me I'm taking someone's place
I cried so much then I will crying shame
And I don't have sense enough to come in out of the pain.

No, I don't have sense enough to come in out of the pain...

I DON'T HEAR YOU 

I hear the bluebirds singing I hear the robins too
I hear the church bells ringing oh but I don't hear you
I see little things mark his and hers a constant reminder we're through
I hear the rain on my window oh but I don't hear you
[ piano ]
I hear the children playing I hear the clock striking two
I hear the mailman whistling oh but I don't hear you
I see little things...

I DON'T LOVE YOU ANYMORE 

I don't love you anymore like the way I did before
And since you've found someone new I think it's best
I don't try and walk the floor I don't love you anymore
Trouble is I don't love you any less
I don't love you anymore for I've got no more love to give
You drained my heart of all its love with every sweet caress
I keep saying o'er and o'er I don't love you anymore
Trouble is I don't love you any less
I held you close to me one time I kissed your lips and called you mine
But another came and thrilled you more I guess
I cried as you walked out the door I don't love you anymore
Trouble is I don't love you any less
I don't love you anymore...
Trouble is I don't love you any less

I DON'T NEED YOUR ROCKIN' CHAIR 

(Chorus:)
I don't need your rockin' chair
Your Geritol or your Medicare
Well I still got Neon in my veins
This grey hair don't mean a thing
I do my rockin' on the stage
You can't put this possum in a cage
My body's old but it ain't impaired
Well I don't need your rockin' chair

I ain't ready for the junkyard yet
Cause I still feel like a new corvette
It might take a little longer but I'll get there
Well I don't need your rockin' chair

(Repeat chorus)

Retirement don't fit in my plans
You can keep your seat I'm a gonna stand
An Eskimo needs a Fridgedaire
Like I need your rockin' chair

(Repeat chorus)

My body's old but it ain't impaired
Well I don't need your rockin' chair

I DON'T WANT NO STRANGER SLEEPIN' IN MY BED 

I don't want no strangers footsteps in my bedroom
Pulling down my window shade and messin' up my spread
I don't want nobody fluffing up my pillow
I don't want no stranger sleepin' in my bed.

If I have to cross the world without you
Always keep in mind what I said
I don't want nobody's arms around me.
I don't want no strangers sleepin' in my bed.

I don't want no strangers footsteps in my bedroom
Pulling down my window shade and messin' up my spread
I don't want nobody fluffing up my pillow
I don't want no stranger sleepin' in my bed.

--- Instrumental ---

I guess that I still need some reassurance
That keep those cheatin' thoughts out of my mind
And though you never gave me thoughts about you.
Darlin', let me tell you one more time.

I don't want no strangers footsteps in my bedroom
Pulling down my window shade and messin' up my spread
I don't want nobody fluffing up my pillow
I don't want no stranger sleepin' in my bed.

No, I don't want no stranger sleepin' in my bed...

I DREAMED MY BABY CAME HOME 

I went to sleep last night lonely and blue
Tears were falling like the morning dew
But when I closed my eyes my loneliness was gone
Cause I dreamed my baby came home
And you were holding me kissing me like you used to do
My heart went crazy when you whispered I love you
Yes you were standing there sweet as you could be
Like you had never said goodbye to me
For just a little while my loneliness was gone
Cause I dreamed my baby came home
I went to sleep last night lonely and blue...
And you were holding me...
Yes you were standing there...

I FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU EVERY DAY 

I never think of searching for a new love
'Cause you would only stand in my way
I'm happy loving you and I can feel it
And I fall in love with you every day.

You do so many things that I treasure
You are the answer to the prayer I pray
The sweetness in your touch can not be measured
And I fall in love with you every day.

Everyday I see much more of heaven
'Cause you have kept my loneliness away
Sharing love with you makes life much brighter
And I fall in love with you every day.

Yes, I fall in love with you every day...

I GAVE IT ALL UP FOR YOU 

Fresh out of school I made plans to go to college
Be a doctor or a lawyer is what I wanted to do
But we feel in love and soon we were married
And I gave it all up for you.

Then we moved up north, I got a job at the factory
I worked very hard and my promotion came through
But you got home sick and we moved back to your momas
And I gave it all up for you.

But I have no regret for the hard times we met
And the years of loving you like I do
And when my life is through you know I'd give that up too
Yes, I'll give it all up for you.

When my life is through you know I'd give that up too
Yes, I'll give it all up for you...

I GET LONELY IN A HURRY 

Well I get lonely in a hurry if you left for a minute
I go crazy inside while you were gone
Yes I get lonely in a hurry if you left for another
I don't think I could take it very long

There would be so many little teardrops fall I don't think that I could count them all
And I know a heart could never ache like mine if I couldn't love you all the time
Cause I get lonely in a hurry...
[ guitar ]
If you ever took your love away from me I'd die
I don't think that I might live in memories
And for sure I know that I would lose my mind
If I couldn't love you all the time
Cause I get lonely in a hurry...
I don't think I could take it very long
