CHORUS:
I don't wanna cry this early this mornin'
But cry I will if you go through with leavin' me alone
I don't wanna cry this early this mornin'
So lay back down & love, & leave the leavin' till later on
I don't wanna think about tomorrow
Lord knows I got my hands full just worryin' about today
If it's true that God sees every sparrow when it falls
I hope He'll see me fallin' if you up & walk away, 'cause...
(chorus)
So lay back down & love, & leave the leavin' till later on
I don't wanna cry
CHORUS:
Night time magic woman
Got a hold on me
Night & day I pray that your magic won't let me be
I'm a pris'ner of love & I never wanna be set free
I never wanna be set free
I was crazy, & your magic healed me
I was empty, & your magic filled me
I was wanderin', & your magic found me
I was lonely, lonely, & you wrapped your magic lovin' around me
You wrapped your magic lovin' around me
(repeat chorus & fade)
What will we do now? You tell me
The hourglass is all out of sand
How could love slip through our fingers
& leave nothin' but time on our hands?
& how will we live now? You tell me
With parts of our hearts torn away
Just existing makes dyin' look easy
But maybe tomorrow; I've done enough dyin' today
& how will I sleep now? You tell me
With only my arm my by side
Perhaps I'll learn sleepin' all over
& just maybe without dreamin' this time
& who'll make you laugh now? You tell me
Since you sent your clown on his way
I don't think I'll cry, just die laughin'
But maybe tomorrow; I've done enough dyin' today
& how will we live now? You tell me
With parts of our hearts torn away
Just existing makes dyin' look awful easy
But maybe tomorrow; I've done enough dyin' today
CHORUS:
Take me to your lovin' place, take me right now
With your lovin' touch, erase every line that's written on my brow
Take me in your lovin' arms, I pray that you would
It may not be forever, but it will be for good
Don't ask me to give you forever
'Cause forever is one thing I ain't got to give
Worryin' about forever makes for dyin' slow
& lady, I'm just dyin' to live
I ain't got no room for no prophet of doom
Tryin' to scare me out of my mind
'Cause my future is in much bigger hands than mine
So lady, let's live while it's time
(chorus)
(x2):
Take me to your lovin' place, take me right now
CHORUS:
We both look like grownups to me
& we both look like we're both in need of a little bit of company
& since we both look like we both know what to do
What are we doin' lonesome? What are we doin' blue?
What are we doin' blue?
Came in here to kill a little time
Maybe find a heartbeat, some of a vital sign
To make sure we're still livin' after all, after the fall
We shared a drink & a little bit of conversation
What we're feelin' now really don't need no explanation
Since we both look like we both know what to do
What are we doin' lonesome? What are we doin' blue?
What are we doin' blue? 'Cause...
(chorus)
CHORUS:
Sure feels like love, last I remember
Sure feels like love, last I recall
It's so good, it feels like
The first time I reached out & really went for it all
Sure feels like love, 'cause I don't remember
The last time that love felt this strong
So you're either gonna have to stop
What you're doin' to me right now
Or you're gonna have to keep doin' it all night long
You're drivin' me crazy
& you may even try
I know you're a lady
There's now way of denyin'
I don't remember the last time love felt this strong
So you're either gonna have to stop
What you're doin' to me right now
Or you're gonna have to keep doin' it all night long
(chorus)
You're either gonna have to stop
What you're doin' to me right now
Or you're gonna have to keep doin' it all night long
The Lady Takes The Cowboy Every Time
Smooth talker
He thinks he'll be the one to walk her to his room
But for all of his schemin', he's only dreamin'
He might as well be gone
Because she's got her eyes on the dance floor
She's made up her mind
& the lady takes the cowboy every time
CHORUS:
'Cause she's just dyin' to do the Texas 2-step
& she just can't wait to strut her stuff
Dancin' to the Cotton Eyed Joe
So she'll come dancin' till the band stops playin'
At 2 in the mornin'
& still have time for one before she goes
Off with her 2-steppin' cowboy
She'll have time for one beer before they go
Tall & handsome
He thinks he'll prob'ly land somewhere in her arms tonight
Well he thinks he's cool, but she thinks he's a fool
He might as well turn & go
Because she's got her eyes on the dance floor
She's made up her mind
& the lady takes the cowboy every time
(chorus)
We pulled into Denver
As the sun was lightin' up the Rockies
Checked into a cheap hotel & fell asleep
Holdin' each other close
We just knew in our hearts
This had to be a new beginning
Well I guess it goes to show you
Just how li'l some people know
CHORUS:
The first year in Denver
We were as happy as we could be
The good times I remember
We loved & heard, heard lovin' free
But then she dropped me in Denver
So I know I had at least a mile to fall
Is there life after Denver?
Is there life after Colorado at all?
I crawled out of Denver
Moved a little higher in the rockies
Decided I would try my hand pickin' up
The pieces that she left
Lord, it didn't take long to realize
That higher ain't always better
& it's awful cold & lonely
When you're king of the mountain all by yourself
(chorus)
Lord, is there life after Denver?
Is there life after lovin' her at all?
She Used To Be Somebody's Baby
CHORUS (x2):
(She used to be some-) somebody's baby
(Used to be some-) somebody's girl
(She used to be some-) somebody's lady
(She used to be some-) somebody's world
& before you start actin' like the king of the mountain
You'd better hear one thing, Jack:
Somebody wants her back (somebody wants her)
Somebody wants her back (somebody really wants her)
Somebody wants her back (somebody wants her back)
Somebody wants her back
You came in like a thief in the night
& stole her right out of my hands
I didn't even see you comin' till you were gone
I had it figured right down to the letter
But you never figured into my plans
But everything's a-gonna be different from now on
(chorus)
Better not be spendin' a lot o' your time hangin' out downtown
Better be takin' care of business back at home
You better start lookin' over your shoulder
'Cause I might be gainin' ground
'Cause I'm gonna get right back what was my own, my own
(chorus, fading out)
Well I must be crazy
But I keep on dreamin' & prayin'
You might be comin' back soon
Keep on hopin'
For all the good it does me
Lord, I might as well be talkin' to the moon
Well I keep on thinkin'
That maybe, baby
You might be changin' your tune
Keep on hopin'
For all the good it does me
Lord, I might as well be talkin' to the moon
Bridge:
'Cause the moon don't seem to answer like it used to
Back years ago, we'd talk for hours at a time
& you don't seem to love me like you used to
That long ago, when you were mine, when you were mine
I keep on thinkin'
That someday, some way
You might be changin' your tune
Keep on hopin'
For all the good it does me
Lord, I might as well be talkin' to the moon
(Crazy, dreamin', prayin')
Well I keep on hopin'
For all the good it does me
Lord, I might as well be talkin' to the moon
(repeat verse 1)
(repeat verse 2 & fade)
If you never come to me again
I've had the love of a lifetime & I've had a best friend
The hours that I spent with you are the best I've ever spent
Even if you never come to me again
CHORUS:
'Cause you are the love of a lifetime, lady
You are the best any man can do
Yeah you are the love of a lifetime, lady
& if you never come to me again
I'll still be lovin' you
I'll still be lovin' you
& if you never sleep here in my arms again
I've had the love of a lifetime & I've had a best friend
It's not that I wouldn't mind losin' you
It's just that you taught me to win
Even if you never sleep in my arms again
(chorus)
I'll be lovin' you, I'll still be lovin' you
(repeat chorus & fade)
