Roger Miller. . Well here I sit-a high, just gettin' ideas. Ain't nothing but a fool would live like this. Out all night, and runnin' wild. Woman sittin' home, she got a month old child.
The sun went down before I knew it, we were lost in the covers. Foolin' around if there was any way for you to be better lover. Well, I don't know how.
Don't make me a promise and then make me blue don't say you love me if it isn't true. Don't make me cry so much I can't see please don't take advantage of me.
Oh single girls don't be mislead by the lying tongue of a man. Who says he want you for his own when there's a wedding ring on his hand. Oh to the girl who falls in love and finds that he's worthless as sand.
Once he loved me now I'm dirt under his feet. I was sure I'd found a love I had searched for. The perfect love with everything complete. Then one day he went away with another.
When I met you long ago there were things I didn't know. But how was I to know how I would feel. When you made a goin' rough it made me see I had it tough.
Dear John, oh how I hate to write. Dear John I must let you know tonight. That my love for you has died away like grass upon the lawn. And tonight I wed another, dear John.
All my friends told me someday you'd leave me. But your sweet words of love were all that I could hear. It's so hard realizing you decieve me now I just live from day to day tear to tear.
I remember when I was a kid times were hard and things were bad. There's a silver lining behind every cloud. Just poor people that's all we were tryin' to make a livin' out of black land dirt.
Our little boy is four years old and quite a little man. So we spell out the words we don't want him to understand. Like T-O-Y or maybe S-U-R-P-R-I-S-E.
When my lips get kissed it's just from force of habit. For a long long time I've known what's going on. His pretending hasn't fooled me for a minute. And it's duty not desire that brings him home.
If I never love again I won't feel cheated. You gave me more than I knew how to use. From the day we met my journey was completed. Even though my autum years won't be with you.
Girl I know I'm the farthest thing from your mind. So I'm headed down the line. I've lost my dignity, gotta have some sanity. So listen girl whatever you do, don't try to find me.
Don't worry bout me it's all over now though I may be blue I'll manage somehow. Love can't be explained can't be controled one day it's warm next day it's cold.
Hey baby (yeah chil'e). I know you've gotta leave me for a few short days. (But you know I'm gonna be a good boy now don't you). Baby (uh-huh) I know that you'll be tempted in so many ways.
Dis-satisfied dis-satisfied nothin' makes you happy that I can see. Dis-satisfied dis-satisfied how long before you say that you're dis-satisfied with me.
One day you came along and spoke so tenderly. You kissed me oh so sweet and gave your love to me. One moment in my life I clung to every thrill. Time was a precious thing the day the world stood still.
Well, my good buddy John likes to tie one on. And get drunk on Friday nights. And hes just fine till the beer and shine combine. Then hes Jekyll and Hyde.
Well, I left for work in a hurry. I rushed out the door without saying goodbye. I didn't tell her I loved her this mornin'. But I'll tell her tonight, I thought to myself.
You can always find me here. Raisin hell and drinkin beer. With all my good time buddies. Cuttin up and havin fun. . Yeah, the jokes can be on me. And I dont mind usually.
