Only The Lonely (Know How I Feel)

Only the lonely only the lonely
Only the lonely know the way I feel tonight
Only the lonely know this feeling ain't right
There goes my baby there goes my heart
They're gone forever so far apart
But only the lonely know why I cry
Only the lonely

Only the lonely only the lonely
Only the lonely know the heartaches I've been through
Only the lonely know I cry and cry for you
Maybe tomorrow a new romance
No more sorrow but that's the chance
You gotta take if your lonely heart breaks
Only the lonely

Pretty Woman

Pretty woman, walking down the street
Pretty woman, the kind I like to meet
Pretty woman I don't believe you, you're not the truth
No one could look as good as you mercy
Pretty woman, won't you pardon me?
Pretty woman, I couldn't help but see
Pretty woman that you look lovely as can be
Are you lonely just like me?

Pretty woman, stop a while
Pretty woman, talk a while
Pretty woman, give your smile to me
Pretty woman pretty woman, look my way
Pretty woman, say you'll stay with me
Because I need you, I'll treat you right
Come with me be mine tonight

Pretty woman, don't walk on by
Pretty woman, don't make me cry
Pretty woman, don't walk away
If that's the way it must be, OK
I guess I'll go on home, it's late
There'll be tomorrow night, but wait
What do I see is she walking back to me?
She's walking back to me pretty woman

I'm A Southern Man

Send me a pan of cornbread with some turnip greens on the side
And if you really want to mess with my head give me anything southern fried
Give me some faded blue jeans and a pair of old cowboy boots
And I'm gonna tell you where I come from tell you something about my roots
I'm a southern man, I'm a southern man,

Send me a woman to love me with a lot of meat on her bones
There's something about a big lady I just can't leave em alone
I'd like to take her down to the river go skinny dipping in the night
Ain't nothing like being with my lady and making love in the pale moonlight
Because I'm a southern man, I'm a southern man

Give me that soulful music it sure makes me feel so nice
So I can do the alligator and get it on every Saturday night
Give me that Southern Comfort, give me Annie Green Springs wine
Take me on down to the bayou and I'll sure have a real good time
I'm a southern man I'm a southern man

You Got It

Every time I look into your lovely eyes, I see a love that money just can't buy.
One look from you, I drift away. I pray that you are here to stay.
Anything you want, you got it.
Anything you need, you got it.
Anything at all, you got it.

Every time I hold you I begin to understand,
Everything about you tells me I'm your man.
I live my life to be with you. no one can do the things you do.
Anything you want, you got it.
Anything you need, you got it.
Anything at all, you got it.

Anything you want anything you need anything at all
I'm glad to give my love to you. I know you feel the way I do.
Anything you want, you got it.
Anything you need, you got it.
Anything at all, you got it.

She's A Mystery To Me

Darkness falls and she will take me by the hand take me to some twilight land
Where all but love is grey where I can't find my way without her as my guide
Night falls I'm cast beneath her spell daylight comes our heaven turns to hell
Am I left to burn and burn eternally
She's a mystery to me she's a mystery girl

In the night of love words tangled in her hair words soon to disappear
A love so sharp it cut like a switchblade to my heart words tearing me apart
She tears again my bleeding heart I want to run she's pulling me apart
Fallen angel cries and I just melt away
She's a mystery to me she's a mystery girl

Haunted by her side it's the darkness in her eyes that so enslaves me
But if my love is blind then I don't want to see she's a mystery to me
Night falls I'm cast beneath her spell daylight comes our heaven turns to hell
Am I left to burn and burn eternally
She's a mystery to me she's a mystery girl

In Dreams

A candy-colored clown they call the sandman tiptoes to my room every night
Just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper go to sleep everything is alright
I close my eyes then I drift away into the magic night. I softly say
A silent prayer like dreamers do then I fall asleep to dream my dreams of you.
In dreams I walk with you in dreams I talk to you.
In dreams you're mine all of the time we're together in dreams

But just before the dawn, I awake and find you gone.
I can't help it, I can't help it, if I cry. I remember that you said goodbye.
It's too bad that all these things can only happen in my dreams
Only in dreams in beautiful dreams.
