"Pretty One"

   
(Roy Orbison)

Hey there, pretty one,
Take a look at what you've done
You've broken my heart in two.
You told a hundred lies
To as many other guys
Oh, lovely unfaithful pretty one.

Some day, when you're older
And your future has past
You will find that your beauty
And your loveliness won't last.
When the traces of time
Show in every line
Remember I still love you,
Pretty one, pretty one, pretty one.

Hey there, pretty one,
Take a look at what you've done.
You've broken my heart in two.
You told a hundred lies
To as many other guys
Oh, lovely, unfaithful pretty one.

Someday when you're older
And your future has past
You will find that your beauty
And your loveliness won't last.
When the traces of time
Show in every line
Remember I still love you,
Pretty one, pretty one, pretty one.

"Pretty Paper"

   
(Roy Orbison)

(The pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue)

Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Wrap your presents to your darling from you
Pretty pencils to write I love you
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue

Crowded street, busy feet, hustle by him
Downtown shoppers, Christmas is nigh
There he sits all alone on the sidewalk
Hoping that you won't pass him by

Should you stop? Better not, much too busy
You're in a hurry, my how time does fly
In the distance the ringing of laughter
And in the midst of the laughter he cries

Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Wrap your presents to your darling from you
Pretty pencils to write I love you
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue

"Ride Away"

   
(Roy Orbison / Bill Dees)

Two wheels a-turning,
One girl a yearning,
Big motor burning the road.
I ride the highway,
I'm going my way,
I leave the story untold.

Pretty girl behind me,
Pretty girls are ev'ry where.
Big motor wind up,
Ride on away from here,
Ride away.

You won't approve of things I do or what I am.
And I don't really give a:I understand.
But she'll never see
That I'll never be anyone but me.

She thinks she needs me,
She sighs for me,
But I know she's lying,
Crying for others to see.

What can I say?
I'll just ride away.
Big motor run, run, ride on away from,
Heartache and misery.

I'm bound to wander,
Way over yonder,
Someone may wait just for me.
True love to cling to
I need a dream to share,
Someone to know me,
Someone to show me they care.

Ride away, ride away
From tears and sorrow,
Like there's no tomorrow.
Tonight, I ride away.

"She"

   
(Roy Orbison / Bill Dees)

She was the wind, the earth and sky
She was the one who made me laugh and cry
She was cake and She was wine
She was fun and She was mine

She'd lie and lie and lie to me
And I'd believe her
She'd cry and cry and cry to me
I couldn't leave her

No one could hurt, no one could flirt,
No one could smile like She could
She was misery and sorrow
She was the reason for tomorrow

The smile of the cat was on her face
The chaparral she loved to run
The style of the fox men embrace
To know her was to love her
And no one could treat me like She could

She was just a little girl
She was a woman of the world
She was all my dreams
She was many things
But She is, She was, she'll always be a woman

"Shy Away"

   
(Roy Orbison/Bill Dees)

Oh, my darling I fear ev'ry time your near
I will hurt you again
So don't wait till then
Shy away, shy away, shy away from me

There's a shadow of doubt
And my mind can't work it out
I'm not sure of myself
So mut me on your shelf and
Shy away, shy away, shy away from me

You're too much of a woman
When will you inderstand
I've got a lot of the devil in me
So never hold my hand again
Shy away yea, yea, yea, yea, yea

If I reach out for you
I'll break my heart in two
And I'll want you to stay
So please, hear what I say and
Shy away, shy away, shy away from me

Please, keep away from me
Far away, safe from me
Darling you must shy away

"So Good"

   
(Roy Orbison/Bill Dees)

Bom bom bom bom bom bom, so good
Bom bom bom bom bom bom, so good
Bom bom bom bom bom bom, so good
Bom bom bom bom bom bom, so good

It's so good to have you near me
It's so good to be with you
It's so good to have you touch me
It's so good it can't be true

Good, so good sweet and fine
Good, so good ev'ry time
You got good, good love, so good

And whether or not we marry or not, Ill feel the same
'Cause what you got
I love a lot and I'll never change
You're so good you're so good you're so good

It's so good to be close to you
When you do the things you do
I'm out of my mind for you
It's so good it's so good it's so good

Have you got it, baby?
Yeah, you got it, baby
Ev'rything you say to me is beautiful
Ev'rything you do suits me fine

You're so good you're so good you're so good
You're so good you're so good you're so good
So good, so good, so good
Hey, hey! My baby's so good

"So Young"

   
(Roy Orbison/Mike Curb/Roger Christian)

Dawn come up so young
Dreams begin so young
And if you live just for today
The day may soon be done

But there's a place where dreams always stay so young
A place to hear the sun go down and fade away
To see the wind just blown away with yesterday
Any place for those whoe care, Zabriskie Point is anywhere

Time runs off so fast
Oh, love too good to last, so young
A time to look for rivers that are never found
To touch the sky and really feel the world go 'round
To live, to love, to laugh, to cry, to be alone

Young, so young, love was meant to be wild and free, so young
Young, so young, love is facing life, a place in time
A state of mind, too late I find
When tomorrows come and love is lost, so young
Young, so young, love was meant to be wild and free, so young

"Sooner Or Later"

   
(Roy Orbison/Joe Melson)

Sooner or later
I knew you'd win
Sooner or later
You would be close to me again
Sooner or later
I knew I would break down and call
Sooner or later
I'd hear your voice and fall in love with you again

Yeah, right or wrong my lonely heart just let you in
Didn't take long, being alone, to fall again

Sooner or later
It had to be
Sooner of later
You would be close to me
Sooner or later
I knew that I'm not over you
Sooner or later I knew I'd fall back in love with you

It's up to you
Let me know what to do
Sooner or later

"Sugar Man"

   
(Roy Orbison/Bill Dees)

Look at me walking free day and night
Here I come, I'm the one to treat you right
I'll make your dreams come true
I'll do what I can
And baby, when I do
You can say you knew the sugar man
I can make a lemon sweet
Yes, I can
I can make a trick a treat
Yes, I can
I'm a walking honeycomb, complete with candy kisses
Woman, come a long
You don't want to miss the sugar man

When the temper'ture drops
You call a heater man
When the water stops
You call a plumber man
But when you feel lonely
You know who to see
Look in the yellow pages
Of your directory
Look for me

Sugar in the morning
Sugar in the night
Sugar in between times
Sugar anytime
Take me by the hand
I wanna be your sugar man
Baby, understand I'm gonna be your sugar man

"Tennessee Owns My Soul"

   
(Roy Orbison/Bill Dees)

Talk about troubles, I tell you I got 'em
Shoveling sand on a Mississippi bottom ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya
I killed me a man in Shelby county
That turned me in for the government bounty ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya
Tennessee owns my soul

That little Georgia gal just wouldn't listen
She tried to run away with Stoney Lee
I caught him and I put him six feet under
I wonder if she ever misses me
Tennessee owns my soul

Rottin' in a cell, I try to forget her
Wishin' like hell that I'd never met her ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya
Gotta get away, gotta see my baby
Gotta leave tonight, she's drivin' me crazy ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya
Tennessee owns my soul

If I can get as far as Look Out Mounmtain
Highway 24 will carry me
To the girl I killed another man for
Even thought I know I won't be free
Tennessee owns my soul

I make it to the top of the twenty foot wall
Dear God, I'm hit and I think I'm gonna fall ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya
Lying on a broken back and crying
Everything's going black and I'm dying ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya
Tennessee owns my soul
