Barbara Mandrell

That call was from the office and I guess I'll have to burn the midnight oil again
And hon' you know how much the boss depends on me to lend a helping hand
I watch him in the mirror as I lie and tell him I don't know how late I'll be
While I'm puttin' on my makeup I'm puttin' on the one that really loves me

The girls all got together and they called to see if I could have some fun tonight
But you know me the only thing I do is go to work and watch TV
And I watch him in the mirror as I lie and tell him I don't know how late I'll be
While I'm puttin' on my makeup I'm puttin' on the one that really loves me

And tonight I'll cheat again and tomorrow I'll be sorry
And I'll feel kind of dirty cause I'll have the midnight oil all over me
God knows his dream would shatter if he knew the devil had me and won't set me free
While I'm puttin' on my makeup I'm puttin' on the one that really loves me
While I'm puttin' on my makeup I'm puttin' on the one that really loves me

Show me a man that's got a good woman show me
Show me a man that's got a good woman show me
Show me a man that's got a good woman show me a man that's got a good woman
Show me a man that's got a good woman show me a man that's got a good woman
Show me a man that's got a good woman
I'll show you a man that goes to work hummin' 'cause
He knows he's got sweet love comin' at the end of his workin' day

Show me a woman that's got a good man show me
Show me a woman that's got a good man show me
Show me a woman that's got a good man show me a woman that's got a good man
Show me a woman that's got a good man show me a woman that's got a good man
Show me a woman that's got a good man
I'll show you a woman doin' all she can
To make life worth livin' for her good man so his troubles don't cross his mind

Show me two people in love with each other show me
Show me two people in love with each other show me
Show me two people in love with each other show me two people in love with each other
Show me a man that's got a good woman show me
Show me a woman that's got a good man show me
Show me two people in love with each other show me

I wanna tell you a story every girl oughta know
If you want a little loving you gotta start real slow
He's gonna love you tonight if you just treat him right

Hmm squeeze a real gentle you gotta make him feel good
Tell him that you love him like you know you should
Cause if you don't treat him right he won't love you tonight
Hey hey hey hey
( fiddle )
If you practise my maintance just as hard as you can
You gonna get the reputation that you can love your man
And you'll be glad every night that you treated him right
Hey hey hey hey
( guitar )
I wanna tell you a story...
He's gonna love you tonight if you just treat him right
And you'll be glad every night that you treated him right
And you'll be glad every night that you treated him right

Last night he called from Dallas he was havin' a beer at the Crystal Palace
He said honey you won't be alone for long
I got to make just one more stop to pick up a ring in Little Rock
And I'm gonna head this semi straight for home
Fourteen wheels a whinin' four big headlights shinin'
Him and that semi been away too long
Hope he don't get stop from speedin' cause I've got everything he's needin'
Waitin' for him right here at home
He's got that big ole engine singin' singin' my favorite song
And I know he's headin' my way rollin' down the highway
Tonight my baby's comin' home
( guitar )
Ten thousand miles I've missed him it's been a week since I kissed him
And forty truckstops since I held him tight
A million chicks and he can get 'em they wanna make love and he won't let 'em
The only thing he wants he'll get tonight
He's got that big ole engine singin'...

And I know he's headin' my way rollin' down the highway
Tonight my baby's comin' home
And I know he's headin' my way rollin' down the highway
Tonight my baby's comin' home

Take me to heart and I'll always love you
And nobody can make me do wrong
Take me for granted, leaving love unsure
Makes will power weak and temptation strong

A woman's only human
You should understand
She's not just a plaything
She's flesh and blood just like her man
If you want a do-right-all-day woman
You've got to be a do-right-all-night man

They say that it's a man's world
Well you can improve that by me
And as long as we're together baby
Show some respect for me

A woman's only human
You should understand
She's not just a plaything
She's flesh and blood just like her man
If you want a do-right-all-day woman
You've got to be a do-right-all-night man

I've been loving you too long to stop now
You are tired and you want to be free
My love is growin' stronger as you become a haven to me
I've been loving you a little too long I don't want to stop now

With you my life has been so wonderful I can't stop now
You are tired and your love is growin' colder
My love is growin' stronger as our affair grows older
I've been loving you too long I've been loving you oh too long
I've been loving you too long to stop now

Not too long ago you said to me I believe it's time you set me free
Cause I found a woman who knows how to love me right
And she don't mind if I lay out all night
And you said hallelujah this woman sure gets to ya
I fin'lly found peace of mind
A singing hallelujah you don't know what good it'll do ya
Playin' around with love'll do it everytime
[ guitar ]
But then one day she felt like movin' on one goodbye and you were all alone
And it's funny but I could almost hear the sound
When your whole world came tumblin' to the ground
And I said hallelujah that woman socked it to ya
Just walked away and blew your mind
A singing hallelujah you've got what's comin' ya
Playin' around with love'll do it everytime

But it seems that I'm not too satisfied
With the brand new love that's walking by my side
Cause already there's an old love on my mind
Playin' around with love'll do it everytime

I'm gonna hold on to the love I've got
In a hundred million years, I'll never stop
'Cause there's nothing in the world
That could keep me from loving you

Well, I'm living when I'm loving
And I'm loving every time I'm with you
Just like walking in the sunshine
Lord, you make me feel so fine

And as long as we're leaving
And loving the way we want to
I know I'm gonna be
The best loved woman alive

I'm gonna hold on to the love I've got
I couldn't care less if they like it or not
As long as you're satisfied
With the things I do

I'm gonna hold on to the love I've got
In a hundred million years, I'll never stop
'Cause there's nothing in the world
That could keep me from loving you

Thrills I feel, I know are real
When you touch me
And I wake up every morning
With your arms wrapped around me tight

And the feeling I feel
Is exactly the way it should be
'Cause the love we've got
Keeps growing every day and night

I'm gonna hold on to the love I've got
I couldn't care less if they like it or not
As long as you're satisfied
With the things I do

I'm gonna hold on to the love I've got
In a hundred million years, I'll never stop
'Cause there's nothing in the world
That could keep me from loving you

No, there's nothing in the world
That could keep me from loving you

WHERE ARE THE PIECES OF MY HEART

(Hugh Prestwood)

You took your suitcase and your toothbrush
And walked out in your walking shoes
You left behind this little letter breaking me the news
But now some things of mine are missing
Some things that I could dearly use
And since the evidence points to you
I must accuse

I don't mean to be unfriendly
All I want is to be fair
I'll be more than glad to share
But you gotta tell me where
Are the pieces of my heart

It was bad enough to break it
After all that we've been through
But then to go on and take it
Was unkind of you
Every night I feel so empty
This pain is more than I can bear
Even if you do not care
You just gotta tell me where
Are the pieces of my heart

It's not the first time it's been broken
It's been dropped a time or two
I got to piece it together
And then get over you
Where even if you do not care
You just gotta tell me where
Are the pieces of my heart

Where even if you do not care
You just gotta tell me where
Are the pieces of my heart

Billy had a woman but he treated her bad
Lost the best thing he ever had
Betty got tired of being put down
So she packed her bags and left this town
Gotta love somebody if you wanna them to stay
Treat them right or they'll slip away
Slip away

Feed the fire
Stoke the coals
You never stay warm at night
If love grows cold
Stirring it up will make that flame burn higher
If tou want love to last
Feed the fire

Falling in love will come easy for you
But staying in love us what's hard to do
A little give and take and compromise
Can help to keep your love alive
You gotta say you love him every day
Show you need him in a hundred ways
And love will stay

Feed the fire
Stoke the coals
You never stay warm at night
If love grows cold
Stirring it up will make that flame burn higher
If tou want love to last
Feed the fire

Feed the fire
Stoke the coals
You never stay warm at night
If love grows cold
Stirring it up will make that flame burn higher
If tou want love to last
Feed the fire

Feed the fire
Stoke the coals
You never stay warm at night
If love grows cold
Stirring it up will make that flame burn higher
If tou want love to last
Feed the fire

(Mike Reid - Rory Bourke)

So now there's somebody new
Dreams I have been dreaming
Have all fallen through
You say I'll be fine
It only takes time
Someday that might be true

But it's too soon to tell
Oh it's too soon to say
Maybe someday
I'll be able to wish you well
But right now
It's just too soon to tell

It's all for the best so you say
You never intended to hurt me this way
And you want to hear
I won't drown in my tears
Well baby the best I can say

It's too soon to tell
Oh it's too soon to say
Maybe someday
I'll be able to wish you well
But right now
It's just too soon to tell

Oh right now
It's too soon to tell

(Writer: H. Howard)
I wish that I could fall in love today
But memories of you stand in the way
And I just can't make my heart find someone new
'Cause it's always much to busy lovin' you
Chorus:
Each night I pray I'll wake at dawn and find
Another in my heart and on my mind
Then I awake I hear my poor heart say
I wish that I could fall in love today
I wish that I could fall in love today
But if I did I know I wouldn't stay
'Cause you'd come between us like you always do
Somehow they never measure up to you
Repeat Chorus:
Oh I wish that I could fall in love today
(Country # 5 / Chart Debut 8/20/88 / 1988 Capitol Nashville)
