Ringin' all up and down the line
Yes I can hear my name ringin'
Ringin' all up and down the line
I don't believe my woman loves me
I believe I'm just messin' up my time

Yes, I have the blues before sunrise
With the tears gettin' to my eyes
I have the blues before sunrise
And the tears gettin' to my eyes
Yes, I get that funny feeling
It's the feeling I do despise

Yes, last night as I laid there dreamin'
I was layin' there by myself
Yes, last night as I laid dreamin'
I was layin' there by myself
I was just thinkin' if my woman don't love me
I hope she's not in love with nobody else

I CAN'T STOP LOVING YOU
Those happy hours
That we once knew
Though long ago
Still makes me so blue
They say that time
Heals a broken heart
But time has stood still
Since we've been apart

I can't stop loving you
I've made up my mind
To live in memories
All the lonesome time
I can't stop wanting you
It's useless to say
So I'll just live my life
In dreams of yesterday

Those happy, happy hours, baby
That we once knew
Though long ago
It still makes me blue
They say that time
Heals a broken heart
But time has stood still
Since we've been apart

I can't stop loving you, baby
I've made up my mind
To live in memories
All the lonesome time
I can't stop loving you
Yeah, yeah, yeah
It's useless to say
Useless to say
So I'll just live my life
In dreams of yesterday

Oh yeah, I've made up my mind
Made up my mind
So I'll just live my life
Live my life, yeah, yeah
I can't stop loving you
No, I can't
Baby, it's useless to say
Useless to say, yeah
So I'm gonna live my life
Live my life
In dreams of yesterday
Yesterday
I'm gonna, gonna live my life
Oh yeah, yes I am
In dreams of yesterday
Dreams of yesterday
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I DONE GOT WISE
I done made up my mind baby
There just got to be a change
Whoah, I made up my mind
Baby, there's just got to be a change
Oh, I think you're cheatin' on me baby
Oh, because you been actin' too strange

When I leave home early in the mornin' you're smilin' baby
And your face is never sad
Oh, when I leave home early in the mornin' mama
Your face is never sad
Yes, but when I have the day off and stay at home
Oh, I do believe it makes you mad

Oh, I know you think you're smart baby
And you think you're puttin' something over on me
Oh, I know you think you're smart baby
And you think you're puttin' something over on me
Oh, but I done got wise to you baby
And I ain't the fool that I used to be

I DON'T WANT YOU CUTTING OFF YOUR HAIR
You painted your lips baby
And you painted your eyes too
Its gettin' to the place now woman
Till I can't hardly recognize you
If that's what it takes to be hip baby
Oh, I want you to be a square
I don't want you messing around baby
Oh, I don't want you cutting of your hair

I didn't say nothing to you baby
When you were wearing bikinis for close
Oh I even stood around baby
I watched you paint your toes
If that's what it takes to be hip baby
Oh, I want you to be a square
I don't want you messing up woman
Oh, I don't want you cutting of your hair

There's something about your girlfriend baby
I swear I can't understand
She got her hair cutt off the other day
And now she looks just like a man
If that's what it takes to be hip baby
Oh, I want you to be a square
I don't want you messing up baby
Oh, I don't want you cutting of your hair

IF I LOST YOU
You're the greatest thing in my life, baby
Without your love, baby
I don't know just what I would do
Years of loving you, you've been so true
I believe I'd lose my mind if I lost you

I guess I've been lucky to have someone so dear
To talk and laugh and always bring me cheer
After all of these years you've been so true to me, baby
I believe I'd lose my mind if I lost you

After all of the lies I've told you
Just like giving you the stars
And buying you mink coats
Mink coats and diamonds, baby
Money in the bank and each year
Each year two brand new cars

You're the greatest thing in my life, baby
Between me and you I know I've got the best deal
Let me thank you, baby, you've been so true
I'd lose my mind if I lost you

IF YOU LOVE ME
If you love me
You will give your heart
Why should be apart
If you love me

If you love me
You will know the truth
I wasn't born to lose
And I love you

Affinity and communication
That makes reality
Understanding is the first thing
It means so much to me

If I love you
I will find the key
If it's meant to be
'Cause I love you

Affinity and communication
That makes reality
Understanding is the first thing
It means so much to me

If I love you
I will find the key
If it's meant to be
'Cause I love you

I GOTTA FIND MY BABY
Well I hate to see the sun sets in the West
'Cos I know my whole life gonna be a solid mess
I got to find my baby I declare well I
I ain't had no real good lovin' since my gal said goodbye

Well, I walked this town from door to door
Gal I love can't find no more
I got to find my baby I declare well I
I ain't had no real good lovin' since my gal said goodbye

Well I've looked all around trying to find me a wife
I got to find my big legged brownskin share the rest of my life
I got to find my baby I declare well I
I ain't had no real good lovin' since my gal said goodbye

I LIKE TO LIVE THE LOVE
My song is a serious matter
It reflects what I feel
If I say I love you, I mean it
`Cause in my song
Every line is for real

Every man or woman
Enjoys going home
To a peaceful situation
To give love and receive love
Without any complications

Whether my tune is short or long
Whether my lyrics are weak or strong

I like to live the love
That I sing about in my song
I like to live the love
That I sing about in my song

Music is love
And my love is music
In perfect harmony
So when I sing
I have sung all about
The love of you and me

I never got angry with my guitar
`Cause when I strike a chord
It gives me what I wanna hear
So I'm finding out that
We are quite like my song together, my dear

Outside answers
Should always be forbidden
Problems should be solved
And never hidden

I like to live the love
That I sing about in my song
I like to live the love
That I sing about in my song

I’LL STRING ALONG WITH YOU
You may not be an angel
'Cause angels are so few
But until the day that one comes along
I'll string along with you
I'm looking for an angel
To sing my love song to
And until the day that one comes along
I'll sing my song to you

For every little fault that you do have
Say, I've got three or four
The human little faults that you do have
Just make me love you much more

You may not be an angel
But still I'm sure you'll do
So, until the day that one comes along, baby
I'll string along with you

You may not be an angel
But still I'm sure that you'll do
So, until the day that one comes along
Baby, I'll string along with you

I'LL SURVIVE
You say you're leaving, you've shattered my dreams
All of our plans dear, forgotten it seems
Yes, it had to happen
I'm not surprised, but I'll, I'll survive

Your friends have shown you a much better way
All of my loving you baby, all of those years, ended today
Yes, you go on darlin'
I'll dry my eyes, but I'll, I'll survive

Go on! May God bless you
It was fun. While it was fun
Baby, I hate to lose you
I say I hate to lose you baby
It's all over! What's done is done

Hey! you go on darlin', seek your fortune and fame
All your good luck or bad luck
Your friends must take the blame
Oh! I can't beg you no more baby
I've got too much pride, but I'll, I'll survive

Oh, go on! May God bless you
Oh, it was fun. While it was fun
Oh baby, I hate to lose you
I say I hate to lose you baby
It's all over! What's done is done

Hey! You go on baby, seek your fortune and fame
All your good good luck or bad luck
Friends must take the blame
Oh! I can't beg you no more
I've got too much pride, but I'll, I'll survive

Oh! I'll, I'll survive
Baby, I'll survive

I'M CRACKING UP OVER YOU
Days into weeks
Weeks into months
Months into years I'm blue
I'm cracking up over you

I can't survive
I need you here by my side
Every word I say is true
I'm cracking up over you

When I can see you again
Don't know just when that will be
But baby, just look
Can't you see what you're doin' to me?

Why do you torture me?
Never give me a smile
That brings tears from my eyes
I'm cracking up over you

My heart suffers, suffers pain
Nothin' seems to be the same
But with you baby, I'll suffer again
I'm cracking up over you

I'M GONNA DO WHAT THEY DO TO ME
The next woman I get
She gotta have job
I'm not tryin' to be no pimp
I just don't intend to work to hard
I won't have to buy the groceries
She gotta pay the rent
She gotta fill up my car every day
And give me account of every dime she spend

I made up my mind
If this is the way life has gotta be
I'm gonna do the same thing
The same thing they been doing to me

She gotta make me think she loves me
By staying in her place
And sleep in another room
So she won't be snorin' in my face
And when I ask her for some money
To go out on the town
I want you to hand it to me smilin'
And don't you have no frown

I made up my mind baby
If this is the way life has gotta be
Yes I'm gonna do the same thing
The same thing they been doing to me

Now when I ask for some money
To go out on the town
I want you to hand it to me smilin'
And don't you be no clown
Now that might sound cold to ya baby
You might think I'm unfair
But I've been hurt so many times
Till I, I really don't care

I made up my mind baby
If this is the way life has gotta be
I'm gonna do the same thing
The same thing they been doing to me

I'M GONNA QUIT MY BABY
Well, I work hard everyday
Come home straight home with my pay
My baby either drink it up
Or she threw it all away

I'm gonna quit my baby
If she don't stop cheatin' and lyin'
Well, I would rather be alone
Than to be worried out of my mind

Well, I give her all of my money
I think I'm being kind
She buy a quart of bad whiskey
And the rest is beer and wine

Well, a few nights ago
I had to work kinda late
Somebody broke out of my house
Just like he was Superman's mate

Well, four o'clock this morning, when I staggered in the block
The little moonshine joint and the rest just begin to rock
I sneaked inside to get a better view
I caught my woman doin' the mambo too

I'M KING
I've been around the world, seen everything
And if it's love you want baby just give me a ring
I can't lose with the stuff I use
I'm the king of the blues

I've loved in sunshine, I've loved in the rain
All of the women who know me call that loving man
I can't lose with the stuff I use
I'm the king of the blues

Some people go to school to try and learn their trade
Yes, but I'm a lover, a lover by nature
That's why I know, I know, I know I've got it made

Yes, you might think I'm jokin' or just havin' fun
But they tell me the reason I'm the king
I'm a lovin' son of a gun
I can't lose with the stuff I use
I'm the king of the blues

I'M PUTTING ALL MY EGGS IN ONE BASKET
I've been a roaming Romeo
My Juliets have been many
But now my roaming days are gone
Too many irons in the fire
Is worse than not having any
I've had my share and from now on

I'm putting all my eggs in one basket
I'm betting everything I got on you
I'm giving all my love to one baby
Lord help me
If my baby don't come through

I've got a great big amount
Saved up in my love account
Honey, and I decided
Love divided in two won't do
So I'm putting all my eggs in one basket
I'm betting everything I got on you

Now here's what I mean.

I've been a roaming Juliet
Yeah, she has
My Romeos have been many
You're right, baby
But now my roaming days are gone
That's what I wanna hear
Too many irons in the fire
Yeah?
Is worse than not having any
Um huh!
I've had my share and from now on
Yeah?

I'm putting all my eggs in one basket
I'm betting everything I got on you
Daddy!
I'm giving all my love to one baby
Lord help me
If my baby don't come through

Got a great big amount
Saved up in my love account
Honey, I've decided
Love divided in two won't do
In two, won't do
So I'm putting all my eggs in one basket
I'm betting everything I got on you
I'm betting everything I got on you

I'm betting on you, baby.
Got on you.
I'm betting on you.

INTO THE NIGHT
Caught in quicksand
Starting to sink
So tired of struggling
That my mind can barely think
Don't know where I'm going
Lord, I don't know what I'm gonna do

Fuel supply is finished
Ain't nothing left to burn
I need someone to help me
But I don't know which way to turn
I know I don't have much of a choice
I'll go out of my mind
Or into the night

Rolling and tumbling
Spinning end over end
Got to have some peace and quiet
So I can find myself again
Ask me what's the matter
Hey, I don't know what to say

People all around me
But I'm so alone
I guess they'd like to help me
But I have to do it on my own
I know I don't have much of a choice
I'll go out of my mind
Or into the night

I STAY IN THE MOOD
Yeah, I stay in the mood for you
'Cos I just can't help myself
Yeah, I stay in the mood for you
'Cos I just can't help myself
You've always fooling around
Givin' my love to somebody else

Still I stay in the mood for you
And I can see you everywhere I go
Still I stay in the mood for you
And I can see you everywhere I go
Well, if something soon don't happen
My heart is gonna break I know

Well, you said that you love me
You've sworn that you'll be true
But now you're tellin' stronger
That I'm just a fool you know
But I stay in the mood for you
'Cos I just can't help myself
Please come back to me baby
'Cos I'm tired of livin' by myself

IT HAD TO BE YOU
It had to be you
It had to be you
I've wandered around
Finally found
Somebody who
Could make me be true
Could make me be blue
And even be glad
Just to be sad
Thinking of you

Some others I've seen
Might never be mean
Might never be cross
Try to be boss
They wouldn't do
For nobody else
Gave me a thrill
With all your faults
I love you still
It had to be you
Wonderful you
It had to be you

Some others I've seen
Might never be mean
Might never be cross
Or try to be boss
But they wouldn't do
'Cause nobody else
Gave me a thrill
With all your faults
I love you still
It had to be you
Had to be you
Had to be you
It had to be you
Wonderful you
It had to be you

It had to be you
Wonderful you
It had to be you
Had to be you
Wonderful you, yeah

IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME
Someday, someway you'll realize that you've been blind
Oh, darling you're gonna need me again
It's just a matter, a matter of time
Oh, go on baby, go on until you reach the end of the line
Hey, but I know, I know you're gonna pass my way again
It's just a matter, just a matter of time

Oh, after I gave you everything I had,
hey, you know you laughed at me and you called me a clown
Ahw, but you must remember baby, in your search for fortune and fame,
hey, what goes up just gotta come down
I know, I know baby, oh, that someday, one day you'll wake up and find
oh, my love, my love is a true love
It's just a matter, baby just a matter of time

Hey, after I gave you, gave everything I had,
you know you laughed at me and I can hear you say, "Look at that clown"
But you must remember baby, in your search for fortune and fame,
oh, what goes up, hey, you know it's got to come down
Oh, but I know hey, I know, I know baby that one day,
one day you'll wake up and find that my love,
my love is a true love
Hey, baby it's just a matter, just a matter of time

I'VE GOT A RIGHT TO LOVE MY BABY
I've got a right to love my baby
She treats me just like a king
I've got a right to love my woman
She treats me just like a king
Yes, she's my mind, body and soul
Yes, my baby, she can do 'most anything

Yes, she's my doctor when I'm sick, people
She's my all-around standby
Oh, she's my lawyer when I'm in trouble, people
She's my mother when I wanna cry
Yes, I've got a right to love my baby
Oh, can't you see the reason why?

Oh, that gives me the right to love my woman
She's always here by my side
Oh, my sweet understanding baby
She makes my temperature rise
Yes and when it comes to kind treating people
My baby's an angel in disguise

Oh, when I'm sick she is my doctor
When I'm well she's my pride and joy
Yes, when I'm cold she's my cover
Yes, she calls me her little baby boy
Yes, when I'm tired and wanna play, people
It's my baby that's my toy

I'VE GOT SOME OUTSIDE HELP I DON'T NEED
All of your affection is gone baby
And your love is growing cold
I've said all of your affection is gone baby
and your love is growing cold
Hey, I've got a new story to tell you this evening, baby
One that ain't never been told

I went to work the other day
But I thought that I would double back
And that car I saw sitting in front of my door
Looked like a brand new, a brand new Cadillac, yeah!

I ain't got none now baby
I think you've been cheating on me
I believe to my soul baby,
that you've given me some outside help
That I don't think I really need

The iceman came by this morning
And you know he didn't leave no ice
The postman came by later baby
And he didn't even ring twice

I think you've been cheating on me
I think you're running out on me
I believe to my soul baby,
that you've given me some outside help
That I don't think I really need

Now, I want you to tell the iceman
The next time he'd better leave some ice
And I want you to tell the postman
He'd better ring more than twice

And when I come home from work in the morning
Better still be some groceries on the shelf.
I want to tell that slick insurance man
That he'd better write some insurance on his self.

Yes, I think you've been cheating on me
I think you're running out on me
I believe to my soul baby,
that you've given me some help, some help
Some help, I don't really need

I WANT YOU SO BAD
Have you ever wanted someone
And you thought they didn't want you
Have you ever, ever wanted someone
And you thought they didn't want you
You know what you wanted
To say to them, people
But you were afraid she may walk away

Someone like you, baby
Someone like you I ain't never had
Oh someone, someone like you
Someone like you I ain't never had
Maybe I'm asking too much, baby
Oh but I want you, I want you so bad

Oh you look so good to me, baby
Baby, I just got to let you know
Yeah, you look so good
So good to me, baby
I just got to let you know
I wanna keep you forever, baby
I don't wanna ever let you go

So whatever you do, baby
Please leave me a way
To get in touch with you
Oh whatever, ever you do, baby
Please leave me a way
To get in touch with you
I need you so bad, baby
When you leave I'll be so sad

I WAS BLIND
I was blind and I could not see
That you were gettin' away from me
But now I know that you are gone

I live by the night
And slumber through the day
Because life don't seem worth livin' anyway

If I could only see
Life would be so miserable to me
Tell me why my love want leave me in misery

Oh, now I haven't be true
But this one I want to be my wife
So baby please, please think of you and me

If I could only see
Life would be so miserable to me
Why would the one I love want to leave me in misery

Oh, haven't been true all of my life
Ah, but this one I want, want her to be my wife
So baby please, baby please think of you and me

I WONDER WHY
I wonder why, why my baby won't treat me right
I wonder why, why my baby won't treat me right
She go off every day and she won't come home 'till night

"I'll be home" well, last week that's what she said
"I'll be home" well, last week that's what she said
She don't care if I don't eat
'Cos she don't know how the rent is paid

She's a gamblin' woman, she chases men in between
She's a gamblin' girl, she chases men in between
She mistreats me and she cheats me
Meanest woman I ever seen

The kid's in bed, I lay awake 'till broad daylight
The kid's in bed, I lay awake 'till broad daylight
Every now and then I wonder will my baby be home tonight
