I scare myself just thinking about you. I scare myself when I'm without you. I scare myself the moment that you're going. I scare myself when I let my thoughts run.
When all the lights go down. This dirty desert town. Is theater in the round. With stars instead of a crowd. . I came here the hard way and now I'm living in a suitcase.
I would never normally go bowling. On a Friday morning in New Orleans. But I like to come here to remember. The kind of places you took me. . Like the time we stole a Datsun.
It only hurts for a little while. That's what they tell me. That's what they say. It only hurts for a little while. Then all your heartaches will pass away.
Yesterday you came my way,. And when you smiled at me,. In my heart I felt a thrill you see,. That it was love at sight and. I was right to love you as I do..
I give you everything a woman can give but you just take my love for granted. I forgive you when you hurt me and for a while I think you love me. But all you really do is use me what can I do baby.
People tell me love's for fools. So here I go breaking all of the rules. It seems so easy, oh oh. So doggone easy, uh huh. . It seems so easy where you're concerned.
There you go and baby here am I. Oh, well you left me here so I could sit and cry. Will you apologize what have you done to me well. I guess it doesn't matter anymore.
It only hurts for a little while that's what they tell me that's what they say. It only hurts for a little while then all your heartaches will pass away.
(It's a crazy world). Now I'm alone starting to cry because my man just said goodbye. He thinks I threw him away even when I begged him to stay. Oh oh oh oh oh it's a crazy world.
[ Both ]. In the misty moonlight by the flickering firelight. [ Skeeter ]. Any place is all right long as I'm with you. [ Both ]. In a faraway land on the tropic sea sand.
[ Both ]. Invisible tears in my eyes incredible pain in my heart. Indestructable memories are passing in review. Impossible though things may get improbable I will forget.
(If I ever get to heaven I won't see you). You say that I'm no angel but I don't claim to be. You say my life is ruin but it was you that ruined me. Remember that I only did the things you told me to.
We get up before sunup to get the work done up. We'd work in the fields till the sun had gone down. We've stood and we've cried as we helplessly watched.
When you just walk by me ever so casually oh how I want to be just your woman. Just a touch of your lips and my heart jumps and skips. At your slight fingertips I'm your woman.
I'm saving my love for someone who loves me. For someone who loves me the way I loved you. I'm saving my lips for someone to kiss me. For someone to kiss me the way I kissed you..
