I feel tears wellin' up cold and deep inside
Like my heart's sprung a big break
And the stab of loneliness, sharp and painful
That I may never shake
Now you might say that I was taking it hard
Since you wrote me off with a call
But don't you wager that I'll hide the sorrow
When I may break right down and bawl

Now the race is on and here comes pride up the backstretch
Heartaches are going to the inside
My tears are holding back
They're trying not to fall
My heart's out of the running
True love's scratched for another's sake
The race is on and it looks like heartaches
And the winner loses all

One day I had ventured in love, never once suspecting
What the final results would be
How I lived in fear of waking up each morning
And finding that you'd gone from me
There's aching and pain in my heart
For the day was the one that I hated to face
Somebody new came up to win her
And I came out in second place

Now the race is on and here comes pride up the backstretch
Heartaches are going to the inside
My tears are holding back
They're trying not to fall
My heart's out of the running
True love's scratched for another's sake
The race is on and it looks like heartaches
And the winner loses all

I know that you wonder who I dream about
And if I met someone who thrills me so
Well, I've finally met a girl who turns me inside out
I'll tell you about her for you ought to know.

You comb her hair every mornin'
And make sure she's dressed just right
You comb her hair every mornin'
And put her to bed everynight.

When she's around me sometimes I can hardly speak
I stammer and I walk right into doors
And just to hold her hand in mine makes me feel weak
Oh, you know her heart is a friend of yours.

You comb her hair every mornin'
And make sure she's dressed just right
You comb her hair every mornin'
And put her to bed everynight...

Just thought I'd have a little fun and paint the town
I always said someday I'll walk the line
But now she's gone and I'm the bluest guy around
And that's not exactly what I had in mind

I thought that I could play the field and be a clown
I broke the heart that loved me many times
Yes, I know that I'm the biggest fool in town
And that's not exactly what I had in mind

I didn't mean for things to get so out of hand
I always meant to make it up in time
But now she's gone, she hates the very sight of me
And that's not exactly what I had in mind

I told myself, "Go play around you're young and free"
Too late I found that I was oh so blind
I lost a love I never did deserve at all
But that's not exactly what I had in mind
No, that's not exactly what I had in mind

There's a picture that I carry,
One we made some time ago
If they ask who's in the picture with me,
I say just a girl, I used to know.

Just a girl, I used to go around with
Just a friend, from long ago,
I don't tell them how lost I am without her
I say she's just a girl, I used to know.

I say, she's just another girl now
Just a flame, that's lost it's glow
And I say, her name has slipped my mind now,
And she's just a girl, I used to know.

Just a girl, I used to spend some time with
Just a friend, from long ago,
I don't talk about the nights I cry about her
I say she's just a girl, I used to know.

Just a girl I used to know...

Just because I ask a friend about her
Just because I spoke her name somewhere
Just because I rang her number by mistake today
She thinks I still care.

Just because I haunt the same old places
Where the mem'ry of her lingers ev'rywhere
Just because I'm not the happy guy I used to be
She thinks I still care.

But if she's happy thinkin' I still need her
Then let that silly notion bring her cheer
But how could she ever be so foolish
Oh, where would she get such an idea.

Just because I ask a friend about her
Just because I spoke her name somewhere
Just because I saw her then went all to pieces
She thinks I still care.

She thinks I still care...

George Jones & Melba Montgomery

We said our goodbyes long ago,
Never thinking we'd miss each other so,
All the memories we can't leave behind,
Oh, we must have been out of our minds.

I thought I loved another, not you,
How foolish, I thought the same, too,
They both turned out to be the wrong kind,
Oh, we (must have been out of our minds.

--- Instrumental ---

Let's forgive and forget the past we've known,
And reap together the wild seeds we've sown,
Surely they can forgive us and find,
That we must have been out of our minds.

I thought I loved another, not you,
How foolish, I thought the same, too,
They both turned out to be the wrong kind,
Oh, we must have been out of our minds.

Yes, we must have been out of our minds.

(Marge Barton - F. McRae)

Where does a little tear come from?
Where does a little tear come from?
It comes from a heart that's been broken apart
That's where a little tear comes from.

Where does the broken heart come from?
Where does the broken heart come from?
It comes when you find that you love the roving kind
That's where the broken heart comes from.

Where does the roving kind come from?
Where does the roving kind come from?
From the wild and restless river that wanders on forever
That's where the roving kind comes from.

Where does the restless river come from?
Where does the restless river come from?
It comes from little tears that I shed through the years
That's where the restless river comes from.

Where does a little tear come from?...

(Oh, least of all,)
(Least of all you)

Who in all this world did I
Think would be untrue
Woh woh, least of all
Least of all, you.

Who did I expect the last
And tell me we were through
Wooh, least of all
Least of all, you.

You, who were so understanding me
Who said to me
We would always be together
Through eternity.

Who now would I like to see
Her the way I do
Wooh, least of all
Least of all, you.

You who were so understanding me
Who said to me
We would always be together
Through eternity.

Who now would I like to see
Her the way I do
Woh Woh, least of all
Least of all, you.

Ohh, least of all
Least of all, you...

(Just hang around my tears are overdue)

If you want to see somebody cry their heart out
For a love they lost and must live without
If you're not afraid my misery might rub off on you
Just hang around my tears are overdue.

If you want to hear confessions from a broken man
Who once held a world of love, right in his hands
If you wanna see a heartbreak. right in two in front of you
Just hang around my tears are overdue.

Now there's not a way that I can say how much it really hurts
When a broken heart and guilty conscience starts to work
I hope you won't forget the sight you see today
Just remember love I had then threw away.

If you're not afraid my misery might rub off on you
Just hang around my tears are overdue.
Just hang around my tears are overdue...

On the bank of the river stood Running Bear, young Indian brave
On the other side of the river stood his lovely Indian maid
Little White Dove was her name, such a lovely sight to see
But their tribes fought with each other, so their love could never be.

Running Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love big as the sky
Running Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love that couldn't die.

He couldn't swim the raging river 'cause the river was too wide
He couldn't reach the Little White Dove waiting there on the other side
In the moonlight he could see her throwing kisses 'cross the waves
Her little heart was beating faster waiting for her Indian brave.

Running Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love big as the sky
Running Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love that couldn't die.

Running Bear dove in the water, Little White Dove did the same
And they swam out to each other through the swirling stream they came
As their hands touched and their lips met, the raging river pulled them down
Now they'll always be together in their happy hunting ground.

Running Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love big as the sky
Running Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love that couldn't die...

The news is out all over town
that you've been seen a runnin' round
I know that I should leave but then
I just can't go, you win again.

This heart of mine could never see
What everybody knew but me
Just trusting you was my great sin
What can I do, you win again.

--- Instrumental ---

I'm sorry for your victim now
'Cause soon his head like mine will bow
He'll give his heart but all in vain
And someday say, you win again.

You have no heart you have no shame
You take true love and give the blame
I guess that I should not complain
I love you still, you win again...

I'm Gonna Change Everything

Yes, I'm gonna change everything
That holds a memory of you
Woa! yeah. humm, oh yeah.

I'm gonna start with the walls
Take the pictures off the walls and burn 'em
Move the chairs around
Take the window curtains down and burn 'em
Everything I see reminds me you were here.

Yes, I'm gonna change everything
That holds a memory of you
Woa! yeah.

The candlelabra set
You gave me on the night of my birthday
The records that you bought
The hi-fi we loved to play
The decorating man will come and rearrange them.

Yes, I'm gonna change everything
That holds a memory of you
Woa! yeah.

--- Instrumental ---

Take the carpet off the floor
Throw it out the door, it's filled with tears
Everything I find
That brings you to my mind must disappear
Every night I dream
I'll dream of someone new.

Yes, I'm gonna change everything
That holds a memory of you
Woa! yeah, humm, oh yeah, humm, oh yeah...
