Who's gonna butter your bread for you? Who's gonna fix your tea? Who's gonna chase away your blues? For who's gonna let you break their hearts just anytime you please? Who's gonna pay the price of loving you?
I don't know who it will be But I can tell you who it won't be
Who's gonna light your Christmas up? Who's gonna rake your leaves? Who's gonna keep you out of trouble? Do you really think he's man enough down there on his knees? Don't you hope that he don't bust your bubble
I don't know who it will be But I can tell you who it won't be
I've been here for a long time Till I found out it's the wrong kind of love Because you're never satisfied, I stay all broke up inside It matters not how hard I try, I can't do enough
So, who's gonna heat your January, keep your summer cool? Who's gonna bring you all the things you need? For who's gonna be the next in line, in your chain of fools? Better hope that he don't need much room to breath
I don't know who it will be But I can tell you who it won't be
I've been here for a long time Till I found out it's the wrong kind of love Because you're never satisfied, I stay all broke up inside It matters not how hard I try, I can't do enough
So, who's gonna butter your bread for you? Who's gonna fix your tea? Or who's gonna chase away your blues? Or who's gonna let you break their hearts just anytime you please? Or who's gonna pay the price of loving you?
I don't know who it will be But I can tell you who it won't be
I know how much you hate to get up in the mornin' But somebody's gotta make a move. There's a parking lot full of Po-lice outside And they all 'axed' of you.
He said "I might mislead you but I would n't ever lie to ya." And I said "Well hell, that's the way it ought to be." And he said "I never shot him. He shot himself, While he was shootin' at me."
Hey there's a pitchfork sticking through the roof of the car And both the headlights are busted out." These people say they saw you runnin' away." He said, "Hell, I was just going for help."
I hope somebody's writin' this down. Let's get our story straight, boys, 'fore we get back to town. My guess is, he just went insane, tried to swim away with too much change.
The Doctor said I can fix that for ya but it's gonna be awhile. Just go on an' take a seat. Try not to bleed on the carpet and pull the door shut when you leave.
A singer/songwriter/massage therapist friend of mine said y'all might be needin' a little help. Now I'll drive your truck but I don't lift nothin' and I room all by myself!
I hope somebody's writin' this down. Let's get our story straight, boys, 'fore we get back to town. Now all y'all witnessed what I said he done. I hope he makes bail. I love it when they run.
Well, it's finally sinkin' in, you ain't comin' back I'll get my old guitar down off the rack And sing the blues about you, baby, sing the blues about you, baby It's really bringin' me down, I'm just mopin' around I got the blues about you, baby
Well, the hardest thing honey 'bout havin' the blues Like walkin' the floor in a dead man's shoes I got the blues about you, baby, I got the blues about you, baby Maybe this homemade wine will wash you outta my mind I got the blues about you, baby

I learned to swim when daddy threw me in the river The army taught me how to shine my shoes The years have shown me that nothin' lasts forever But everything I know about the blues I learned from you
I thought I'd seen my share of bad luck and hard times But nothin' set me up for what you put me through I learned a lesson that will hurt me for a lifetime 'Cause everything I know about the blues I learned from you
I know that promises are things that just get broken And you can't trust a woman's tears And if love is what you place your hope in All your hope may disappear
In certain circles I've acquired a reputation But I give credit where credit is due Yes it's true I've got a first rate education 'Cause everything I know about the blues Everything I know about the blues Everything I know about the blues I learned from you

My ship came in and she sunk it I was the toast of the town and she drunk it I had a run of good luck and she ran it right into the ground And now she's puttin' on a show and I get to play the clown
I had the wind in my sails and she took it I had the world by the tail and she shook it I reached out for a life line and she threw me a noose I got the short end of the chicken and she got the golden goose
[Chorus: ]
She's living it up,and I'm tryin' to live it down Just when I got it all together , it's all about to come unwound Everybody laughin' behind my back, baby sure is a sad old sound She's out there livin it up and I'm trying to live it down
I had my ducks in a row and she shot 'em I had my eggs in a basket she dropped 'em I threw her outta the house but she was back like a boomarang Sometimes you get the honey, sometime all you get is the stang
[Chorus: ]
She's living it up, and I'm tryin' to live it down Just when I got it all together , it's all about to come unwound Everybody laughin' behind my back, baby sure is a sad old sound She's out there livin it up and I'm trying to live it down
She left a lipstick letter on the mirror shattered on the bathroom floor All I could put back together was never see me no more Took all her clothes but one red dress, the one she knows I like the best All I could do was clean up the mess and wonder where she'd gone
I had a sky-blue, rag top Mustang, a 1964 She drove it off into the night till it just wouldn't go no more She caught a ride on into town, bought some gas and laid the top down Then she burned that pony to the ground on the desert in new Mexico
When Rita leaves, Rita's gone She gave me every chance a man could want I've never known a love so strong Or so crazy when she's been done wrong When Rita leaves, Rita's gone
I put a call into her mamasita back in El Paso She said she got the story from Rita on her way to Mexico Her mama knew I was takin' it hard, said she was sorry about my car She said, "You're lucky all she broke was your heart You better just let her go"
When Rita leaves, Rita's gone She gave me every chance a man could want I've never known a love so strong Or so crazy when she's been done wrong When Rita leaves, Rita's gone
She never gave me a chance to explain Well I guess it doesn't much matter now anyway When Rita leaves, Rita's gone When Rita leaves, Rita's gone
Well it's three o'clock in the morning' ya'll Oh, and I'm biding my time Give me two more Mr. Waiter You know I got a whole lot on my mind Going back to Louisiana, To that girl left behind

Saw you, that was all I had to see Wanted you, had to have you next to me From that moment, I knew that you'd be all that I'd ever need And there's a place inside my heart, nobody's touched before And when I found you, I found all that I've been searching for You turned my world around
All I know, is it feels like forever All I know, is I love the way it feels All I see, is how good we are together And I never want to see you slip away I'll never let you go, it's all I know
Hold me, love is you've rushed to me It's telling me, let's put our hearts in the hands of fate Time will tell, if what we've got was worth the wait And there's a fire, that's been burning deep inside of me And I don't need nobody else 'Cause now you're here with me, you turned my world around

All I know, is it feels like forever All I know, is I love the way it feels All I see, is how good we are together And I never want to see you slip away I'll never let you go, it's all I know
Been down in the dumps for a day or two Thinkin' baby, it was time for me to make a move Late night skyline that's when it hit me Well, I got to have me some of that New York City
Now, I was leaving San Diego in a Chevrolet van I, out across the desert into no man's land I just love the west you know, sure it's pretty But I got to have me some of that New York City
I've been away too long and I got the itch To do a little time in the east coast nitch Down on Broadway and do a little diddy Smack dab in the middle of New York City, oh yeah
I've been away too long and I got the itch To do a little time in the east coast nitch Down on Broadway and do a little diddy Smack dab in the middle of New York City, oh yeah
Now, I was leaving California on a warm summer night The ocean on my left and the mountains on my right To leave it all behind sure seemed like a pity But I got to have me some of that New York City, oh yeah, oh yeah
