I'D ASK YOU WHERE YOU SPENT LAST NIGHT BUT I DON'T WANT TO KNOW
NOW YOU'RE HOME MY BAGS ARE PACKED I GUESS IT'S TIME TO GO
YOU DIDN'T MEAN TO HURT ME YOU SAY IT LIKE IT'S TRUE
BUT IN YOUR EYES, THROUGH THE LIES THE TRUTH COMES SHINING THROUGH
CHORUS:
I DIDN'T MEAN TO DRIVE YOU TO BEING UNTRUE
IT'S PLAIN TO SEE I HURT YOU BAD FROM THE THINGS I PUT YOU THROUGH
AND I'M NOT GONNA ASK YOU CAUSE I DON'T WANT YOU TO LIE
BUT I HOPE YOU FIND A BETTER WAY TO SAY GOODBYE
DON'T TELL ME IT MEANT NOTHING CAUSE THAT'S QUITE PLAIN TO SEE
BUT WHAT YOU NEED IS SOMETHING SOMETHING WITHOUT ME
YOU SAY THAT WE CAN PART AS FRIENDS YOU SAY IT LIKE IT'S TRUE
BUT IN YOUR EYES THROUGH THE LIES THE TRUTH COME SHINING THROUGH
I DIDN'T MEAN TO DRIVE YOU TO BEING UNTRUE
IT'S PLAIN TO SEE I HURT YOU BAD FROM THE THINGS I MADE YOU DO
AND I'M NOT GONNA KISS YOU AND I'M NOT GOING TO CRY
BUT I HOPE YOU FIND A BETTER WAY TO SAY GOODBYE
'CAUSE THERE'S GOT TO BE A BETTER WAY TO SAY GOODBYE

Leave the Leavin'

GIRL, WHAT WE HAD IT WAS JUST WONDERFUL
BUT YOU TOLD ME THAT I HAD MADE YOU CRY
AND YOU KNOW THAT WAS THE LAST THING THAT I WANTED
SO, I GUESS IT'S TIME THAT SOMEONE SAYS GOODBYE
AND I'LL KNOW JUST HOW TO ACT WHEN IT'S ALL OVER
I GUESS I'VE PLAYED THIS GAME A TIME OR TWO
BUT IT'S GONNA BE SO MUCH BETTER, SO MUCH BETTER
IF I LEAVE THE LEAVIN' UP TO YOU
MAYBE YOU CAN FIND SOME SATISFACTION
FROM BEING THE ONE TO SAY GOODBYE
AND MAYBE I CAN FIND SOME PEACE OF MIND, GIRL
FROM KNOWING THAT I GAVE IT ONE LAST TRY
AND MAYBE IT WAS BETTER LEFT UNSPOKEN
'CAUSE AFTER ALL IT ONLY MAKES US BLUE
BUT I KNOW IT ALL WILL WORK OUT BETTER
IF I LEAVE THE LEAVIN' UP TO YOU
GIRL, WHAT WE HAD IT WAS JUST WONDERFUL
BUT YOU TOLD ME THAT I HAD MADE YOU CRY
AND YOU KNOW THAT WAS THE LAST THING THAT I WANTED
SO, I GUESS IT'S TIME THAT SOMEONE SAYS GOODBYE
AND I'LL KNOW JUST WHAT TO SAY WHEN IT'S ALL OVER
I GUESS I'VE PLAYED THIS GAME A TIME OR TWO
BUT IT'S GONNA BE SO MUCH BETTER, SO MUCH BETTER
IF I LEAVE THE LEAVIN' UP TO YOU
SO, I'LL JUST LEAVE THE LEAVIN' UP TO YOU

Song I Wrote Last Night
03:53
|

|
OH, THE SONG THAT I WROTE LAST NIGHT IT WOULD JUST MAKE YOU CRY
AND IF YOU LOOK REALLY CLOSE, YOU CAN STILL SEE A TEAR IN MY EYE
OH, TODAY, I WILL SMILE, AND I'LL TELL YOU I'M DOING ALRIGHT
NO, YOU WON'T HEAR ME SINGING THE SONG THAT I WROTE LAST NIGHT
I'M NEVER AFRAID 'CEPT WHEN I'M IN A CROWD, OR ALONE
AND I JUST CAN'T REMEMBER THE LAST PLACE THAT I COULD CALL HOME
SOMETIMES, I WILL JOKE 'BOUT HOW MUCH I JUST LOVE TO COMPLAIN
IT'S A SAD SENSE OF HUMOR THAT KEEPS ME FROM GOING INSANE
OH, THE SONG THAT I WROTE LAST NIGHT IT WOULD JUST MAKE YOU CRY
AND IF YOU LOOK REALLY CLOSE, YOU CAN STILL SEE A TEAR IN MY EYE
OH, TODAY, I WILL SMILE, AND I'LL TELL YOU I'M DOING ALRIGHT
NO, YOU WON'T HEAR ME SINGING THE SONG THAT I WROTE LAST NIGHT
I ONCE HAD A WOMAN - I BELIEVED THAT HER LOVE WAS TRUE
WITH HER BY MY SIDE, THERE WAS NOTHING THAT I COULD NOT DO
BUT HER LOVE FOR ME DIED, LIKE THE GLOW OF THE FIRE'S LAST LIGHT
AND LEFT ME TO MOURN WITH THE SONG THAT I WROTE LAST NIGHT
OH, THE SONG THAT I WROTE LAST NIGHT IT WOULD JUST MAKE YOU CRY
AND IF YOU LOOK REALLY CLOSE, YOU CAN STILL SEE A TEAR IN MY EYE
OH, TODAY, I WILL SMILE, AND I'LL TELL YOU I'M DOING ALRIGHT
NO, YOU WON'T HEAR ME SINGING THE SONG THAT I WROTE LAST NIGHT

Miss Holdin' You
03:55

I GAVE SOME MONEY TO A LAWYER
AND LISTENED AS THE JUDGE SAID WE WERE THROUGH
THEN IT OCCURRED TO ME - YOU HADN'T SAID A WORD TO ME
AND I'M GONNA' MISS HOLDIN' YOU
CHORUS:
I'M GONNA MISS HOLDIN' YOU
WHATEVER ELSE I MIGHT DO
I REALIZE THAT WE'RE THROUGH
AND I'M GONNA' MISS HOLDIN' YOU
I WOKE UP ONE NIGHT TO FIND YOU CRYING
IN TEARS THAT YOU COULD NOT EXPLAIN
BUT I LOVE YOU TOO MUCH GIRL, TO LET YOU LIVE IN A WORLD
THAT COULD CAUSE YOU SO MUCH PAIN
(REPEAT CHORUS)
"SORRY" WON'T SAVE US ANY HEARTACHE
OR EASE THE PAIN THAT WE'VE BEEN GOING THROUGH
BUT TIME KEEPS PASSING BY - MAYBE SLOWER WHEN WE CRY
AND I'M GONNA' MISS HOLDIN' YOU
(FINAL CHORUS)

Whatever You Say

IF YOU SAY YOU WANT ME, I'LL TAKE YOU HOME WITH ME
AND IF YOU SAY, "PLEASE GO AWAY," I'LL LEAVE, AND LET YOU BE
IF YOU SAY YOU NEED YOUR FREEDOM, I'LL GIVE MY LOVE FOR FREE
I WANT YOU TO KNOW, WHATEVER YOU SAY, IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME
I LEFT HOME SOME TIME AGO - I WASN'T EVEN GROWN
I LEARNED SOME THINGS THE HARD WAY THAT I WISH I'D NEVER KNOWN
NOW YOU'RE STANDING HERE BEFORE ME, BUT I CAN'T READ YOUR EYES
IS THAT LOVE I SEE, GIRL, OR BITTERSWEET GOODBYES?
IF YOU SAY YOU WANT ME, I'LL TAKE YOU HOME WITH ME
AND IF YOU SAY, "PLEASE GO AWAY," I'LL LEAVE, AND LET YOU BE
IF YOU SAY YOU NEED YOUR FREEDOM, I'LL GIVE MY LOVE FOR FREE
I WANT YOU TO KNOW, WHATEVER YOU SAY, IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME
THE WORLD KEEPS RIGHT ON TURNING, AND TIME KEEPS PASSING BY
I DON'T NOW IF I COULD LOVE YOU, BUT I'D SURE LOVE TO TRY
IT COULD BE TIME FOR LEAVING, BUT I'M BEGGING YOU TO STAY
AND, GIRL, NOW IT'S ALL UP TO YOU, SO TELL ME WHAT YOU SAY
IF YOU SAY YOU LOVE ME, I'LL TAKE YOU HOME WITH ME
AND IF YOU SAY, "PLEASE GO AWAY," I'LL LEAVE, AND LET YOU BE
IF YOU SAY YOU NEED YOUR FREEDOM, I'LL GIVE MY LOVE FOR FREE
I WANT YOU TO KNOW, WHATEVER YOU SAY, IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME

I USED TO SIT AND STRUM ON MY GUITAR AND DREAM SOMEDAY I COULD BE A STAR
FROM HONKY-TONK DOWN TO SMOKY BAR, GIRL, YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE
AND I THINK I'LL WRITE A SONG TONIGHT - AIN'T NOTHING NEW
BUT I COULD NOT WRITE A SONG TONIGHT THAT WASN'T ABOUT YOU
WORKING HARD, FEELING STRONG AND AT NIGHT I SING MY SONG
AND I KNOW NO IT WON'T BE LONG TIL MY SONG COMES THROUGH
AND I THINK I'LL WRITE A SONG TONIGHT - AIN'T NOTHING NEW
BUT I COULD NOT WRITE A SONG TONIGHT THAT WASN'T ABOUT YOU
YOU'RE THE ONE I'M DREAMING OF YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE I LOVE
YOUR SWEET LOVE JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH SAY YOU LOVE ME TOO
AND I THINK I'LL WRITE A SONG TONIGHT - AIN'T NOTHING NEW
BUT I COULD NOT WRITE A SONG TONIGHT THAT WASN'T ABOUT YOU

Don't Dream

IT'S OKAY IF YOU REMEMBER THE WAY I HELD YOUR HAND
AND THE LITTLE THINGS I DID THAT MADE YOU SMILE
IF YOU THINK ABOUT THE BAD TIMES, I GUESS I'LL UNDERSTAND
BUT I'D HOPED THAT YOU'D FORGET THEM IN A WHILE
SO DON'T YOU DREAM ABOUT ME WHEN I'M GONE
I DON'T CARE IF YOU DON'T SLEEP THE WHOLE NIGHT LONG
AND IF YOU THINK THAT I DON'T LOVE YOU, YOU'RE WRONG, WRONG, WRONG
SO DON'T YOU DREAM ABOUT ME WHEN I'M GONE
I GUESS YOU'LL STILL GO PLACES THAT WE USED TO GO
AFTER ALL, WE WERE TOGETHER ALL THOSE YEARS
AND IF I SEE YOU OUT ONE EVENING, I'LL LEAVE YOU'LL NEVER KNOW
AND IF I CRY, YOU'LL NEVER SEE MY TEARS
BUT DON'T YOU DREAM ABOUT ME WHEN I'M GONE
I DON'T CARE IF YOU DON'T SLEEP THE WHOLE NIGHT LONG
AND IF YOU THINK THAT I DON'T LOVE YOU, YOU'RE WRONG, WRONG, WRONG
SO DON'T YOU DREAM ABOUT ME WHEN I'M GONE
IT'S OKAY IF YOU REMEMBER THE WAY I HELD YOUR HAND
AND THE LITTLE THINGS I DID THAT MADE YOU SMILE
IF YOU THINK ABOUT THE BAD TIMES, I GUESS I'LL UNDERSTAND
BUT I'D HOPED THAT YOU'D FORGET THEM IN A WHILE
NO, DON'T YOU DREAM ABOUT ME WHEN I'M GONE
I DON'T CARE IF YOU DON'T SLEEP THE WHOLE NIGHT LONG
AND IF YOU THINK THAT I DON'T LOVE YOU, YOU'RE WRONG, WRONG, WRONG
SO DON'T YOU DREAM ABOUT ME WHEN I'M GONE
