well, i'm goin' honky-tonkin' on the town tonight
the joint'll be a-rockin' and the time is just right
to see my sideburn daddy
sideburn daddy
he's my sideburn daddy, tearin' up the hardwood floor
he wears 'em long and pointed and i like it like that
so everybody knows that he's a rockabilly cat
he's my sideburn daddy
sideburn daddy
he's my sideburn daddy, tearin' up the hardwood floor
i love to see him dance and i love to see him swing
he's got the crazy rhythm and he looks just like the king
in his sideburns, daddy
sideburn daddy
he's my sideburn daddy, tearin' up the hardwood floor
when the band takes a break i'll be sittin' on his knee
i run my fingers through 'em 'cause he grows 'em just for me
he's my sideburn daddy
sideburn daddy
he's my sideburn daddy, tearin' up the hardwood floor
well, he's a sweet lovin' daddy and his style's just a plus
but i'd walk a million miles or i'd hop the nearest bus
to see my sideburn daddy
sideburn daddy
he's my sideburn daddy, tearin' up the hardwood floor
he's my sideburn daddy, tearin' up the hardwood floor

don't you say another word or i will scream
home sweet home has turned into a bitter dream
i got some boxes from the store
i can't take it anymore
so i'm packin' up and movin' out on you
i'm rollin' up the rug you walked all over
i'm takin' down the bed so sleep on this
i'll take the covers that you covet
and that chair just 'cause you love it
so long, darling
i'm movin' out on you
now i'm tearin' down the shelf you put me on
and when next you look the mirror will be gone
you know you took my heart for granted
and i'm highly disenchanted
so i'm packin' up and movin' out on you
i'm rollin' up the rug you walked all over
i'm takin' down the bed so sleep on this
i'll take the covers that you covet
and that chair just 'cause you love it
so long, darling
i'm movin' out on you

The Great Indoors
03:08
|
|||
|
it's gettin' too cold for a walk in the park
and how come at four-thirty it's already dark?
it's time for hibernatin' in my cozy home
but i can't bear to spend the winter all a-lone
stay inside with me
stay inside with me
because it's time to explore the great indoors
so honey stay inside with me
we'll hop into the bed, pull the covers to our chin
and i ain't comin' out once i settle in
we'll cuddle real close like a key in a lock
we're lookin' mighty pretty wearin' nothin' but socks
stay inside with me
stay inside with me
because it's time to explore the great indoors
so honey stay inside with me
i got lots of old records and a record machine
we'll read each other poetry and magazines
we'll never get bored 'cause there's so much to do
while in the hush of snow a-fallin' i'll be fallin' for you
stay inside with me
stay inside with me
because it's time to explore the great indoors
so honey stay inside with me
when flowers start to bloomin' and the birds begin to sing
we'll close up all the curtains to the comin' spring
and turn that air conditioner a-way up high
so we can keep it cuddlin' season april, june, and july
stay inside with me
stay inside with me
because it's time to explore the great indoors
so honey stay inside with me

It Just Doesn't Add Up
03:23
|

|
you're a private lover, baby
so sweet when we're alone
and a million kisses later
you're the one i counted on
but when we're out together, darling
you won't even hold my hand
if you're not proud of us
then i guess you got me outmanned
one and one, baby
'sposed to make two
oh, but it seems like when one is me
and the other one is you
then there ain't no plus or equal sign
can make a pair of us
you know, i've done the math, baby
and it just doesn't add up
divide and conquer
well, i guess that's what we'll do
'cause i'm stronger all around
when i'm not diminished by you
still, i can't make sense of love that's always hidden from plain sight
once i was proud of us
but i've finally seen the light
one and one, baby
'sposed to make two
oh, but it seems like when one is me
and the other one is you
then there ain't no plus or equal sign
can make a pair of us
you know, i've done the math, baby
and it just doesn't add up

Too Many
02:40

|
you're too many for me
you're too many for me
when we're out on the town
too many girls hangin' around
and when we're home all alone
too many girls call you on the phone
and you're too many for me
you're too many for me
too damn handsome and too damn cool
you're everybody's man and nobody's fool
you got all the right parts and all the right moves
but you're too many for me
you're too many for me
you're too many, you're too many for me
the more i look into your eyes, the more i feel your touch
the more i start to realize
you're more than much too much
you're too many for me
you're too many for me
you're too many, you're too many for me
you're too many for me
you're too many for me
too many days and too many nights
a whole lotta lovin', a whole lotta fights
i don't know what i'm-a gonna do
just little ol' me and too much of you
and you're too many for me
you're too many for me
just like a hive with too many bees
just like a pod with too many peas
you got too many ways and too many means
and you're too many for me
you're too many for me
you're too many, you're too many for me
the more i look into your eyes, the more i feel your touch
the more i start to realize
you're more than much too much
you're too many for me
you're too many for me
you're too many, you're too many for me

baby's glad to see me and it really shows
baby's glad to see me
that's one thing i know
puts his arms around me and squeezes me real tight
no one else can make me say
oh, baby!
baby's glad to see me, his eyes tell me the truth
baby's glad to see me and he's got the proof
when he kisses my lips
i tell you i stay kissed
no one else can make me say
oh, baby!
make my baby feel better
when i'm wearing my pink sweater
it charges up the atmosphere
when i whisper that sweet nothing in his ear
oh, baby!
baby's glad to see me every single day
baby's glad to see me, we're going all the way
down to see the preacher
to tie that weddin' knot (or not)
'cause no one else can make me say
oh, baby!
i know my baby's got it planned
when he takes me by the hand
gonna reach the stratosphere
when i whisper that sweet something in his ear
oh, baby!
oh, baby!

Put Up a Fight
03:26
|

i couldn't understand the things you do
you couldn't understand what i wanted from you
so i got out of bed, i started to leave
you stood there in silence and tugged at your sleeve
and i walked out the door, i didn't turn 'round
i figured if you want me
you know where i can be found
i waited and waited by the telephone
i left you, i know,
but i don't want to be alone
did i misunderstand the way that you tease?
did you misunderstand what i need to be pleased?
we're not talking at all
why should it be?
something's gotta give 'cause the silence is killing me
please
put up a fight, put up a fight
don't let me go in the cold, dark night
say something tender, say something cruel
throw a glass at the wall, but honey, lose your cool
and talk to me, darling, we'll make it all right
put up a fight
please
put up a fight, put up a fight
talk to me, darling
we'll make it all right
tell me you're angry, tell me it's cool
say that you love me, say i'm a fool
but don't let me go in the cold, dark night
put up a fight
please put up a fight, put up a fight
don't let me go in the cold, dark night
say something tender, say something cruel
throw a glass at the wall, but honey, lose your cool
and talk to me, darling, we'll make it all right
put up a fight
oh, talk to me darling, we'll make it all right
put up a fight

Still Cryin'
03:09
|

i can't believe that i'm still cryin'
i thought for sure the well ran dry
but i could fill another ocean
with all these tears still left to cry
you broke my heart
oh, how it shattered
but that was then
and so by now
i thought that you'd no longer matter
that i'd move on
and yet, somehow
i can't believe that i'm still cryin'
i thought for sure the well ran dry
but i could fill another ocean
with all these tears still left to cry
oh, father time
oh, won't you help me
when things go well
you move so fast
but now the nights
seem ever longer
i pray each tear
will be the last
i can't believe that i'm still cryin'
i thought for sure the well ran dry
but i could fill another ocean
with all these tears still left to cry
with all these tears still left to cry

i grew up by a river and i never roamed too far
there was magic in that river
underneath the moon and stars
and there were trains and haunted houses
and a suicide hill
and you didn't have too look to hard
for your childhood thrills
one night i crossed the footbridge
and i hit the avenue
where a pub was so inviting
and they never asked for proof
and in the bar there was a party
good music on the jukes
turning eighteen that september
was the boy who loves the blues
with his cigarettes and bourbon
he looked like a rolling stone
said nobody on his birthday
should have to spend the night alone
and i just a schoolgirl
with little yet to lose
said i got a birthday present
for the boy who loves the blues
good morning, little schoolgirl
it's been thirty years or more
your rolling stone's come knocking
can't you hear me at your door?
i been rollin' and a-tumblin'
cry the whole night through
be a kind-hearted woman
for the boy who loves the bues
be a kind-hearted woamn
never no more to lose
the river, the magic
and the boy who loves the blues

whole lotta lovin's what i miss
miss the nights when you held my hand
miss the days when you missed me and
told me it would always be
whole lotta lovin'
you and me
whole lotta lovin' you and me

He's A Handful
02:50
|
|||
|
a handful in the mornin'
a handful at night
a handful in the evening if i handle it right
a handful in the country, a handful in town
got to hand it to him, he's a handful hands down
a handful of trouble and a handful of joy
he's a handful
oh, boy
he's handy in the kitchen
he's handy in the hall
he's always on hand when i make the call
he's my right hand man
we're like a hand in glove
he's the handy handyman with a handful of love
a handful of trouble and a handful of joy
he's a handful
oh, boy
he's a handsome man with a hands-on plan
to keep me by his side eating out of his hand
when he look me in the eye and our fingers entwine
can't keep my hands off him
'cause he's mine all mine
a handful of trouble and a handful of joy
he's a handful
oh, boy
