We Can't All Be Angels

David Lee Murphy We Can't All Be Angels Lyrics
1.She Don't Try(To Make Me Love Her)

(david lee murphy)

She called me up last evenin'
She said come on by
When i got there she was leavin'
And i was right on time
She said i'm sorry hon' but i can't stay
I've had a change of plans
When i get home it might be late
I hope you'll understand

She don't try to make me love her
She don't try to make me love her but i do
No she don't try to make me love her
She don't try to make me love her but i do

I'm always bringin' her flowers
And she don't say a word
I tell her how i feel about her
It's like she never heard
I get the feelin' she avoiding me
Oh but just the same
If she ever started spoilin'me
It wouldn't change a thing

She don't try to make me love her
She don't try to make me love her but i do
No she don't try to make me love her
She don't try to make me love her but i do

She don't try to make me love her
She don't try to make me love her but i do
No she don't try to make me love her
She don't try to make me love her but i do


2.Just Don't Wait Around 'til She's Leavin'

(david lee murphy)

Lookin' at the bare spot on the bedroom wall
Brought home the honest truth to me
The picture hangin' there was just another treasure
I had lost so foolishly
It took all this to realize the talks we had
Meant she was tired of playin'
And now i see she needed more
Of what i wasn't doin' or sayin'

So just don't wait around 'til she's leavin'
To show her just how much she really means
Just don't wait around 'til she's leavin'
To give the kind of love a lady needs

Promises don't push aside
The fact that i had taken her for granted
Just a touch to let her know how much i really cared
Was all she wanted
But it's too late to change her mind
When you're just a memory behind her

So take her in your arms and make her see
She's the one you'll want forever

So just don't wait around 'til she's leavin'
To show her just how much she really means
Just don't wait around 'til she's leavin'
To give the kind of love a lady needs

Hold her
And she'll be satisfied
She needs
Lovin' all the time

So just don't wait around 'til she's leavin'
To show her just how much she really means
Just don't wait around 'til she's leavin'
To give the kind of love a lady needs

So just don't wait around 'til she's leavin'
To show her just how much she really means
Just don't wait around 'til she's leavin'
To give the kind of love a lady needs

So just don't wait around 'til she's leavin'


3.We Can't All Be Angels

(david lee murphy/danny tate)

Late nights and smokey ole pool rooms
Bars closin' down at three
And i'm right here in the middle of it all
With the bad company
Well maybe you don't understand it
Oh and we might never agree
But i'm past the point of making excuses
That's what i am and i guess the truth is

We can't all be angels
Naw naw naw
I can't say that
I claim to be much of a
Saint after all
But i can tell you it ain't so bad
Once you've learned how to fall

Flyin' down these ole backroads
Is when i feel at my best
When i've twisted all the rules that'll bend
And broken all the rest
Now i'll never try to change you
Oh and i'd never do you no wrong

We can't all be angels
Naw naw naw
I can't say that
I claim to be much of a
Saint after all
But i can tell you it ain't so bad
Once you've learned how to fall

There's alot to be said for good clean livin'
And if i have to sneak through the back door to heaven

We can't all be angels
Naw naw naw
I can't say that
I claim to be much of a
Saint after all
But i can tell you it ain't so bad
Once you've learned how to fall


4.Bringin' Her Back

(david lee murphy/bill lloyd)

Check the ol buddy filler' up with ethyl
'cause i got a long drive in sight
My baby just left me for a pool shootin' fella
And i'm gonna bring her back tonight
Aw he don't really need her and i know he's gonna feed her full
Of promises he can't keep
But i'm the one to blame
'cause i been drivin' her insane
By staying out six nights a week
So buddy check the tires i'll leave the engine runnin'
'cause i can't waste no more time
I got sixty-three miles of two lane before i even
Cross that tennessee line
I know my baby needs me and i hope that when she sees me
That she's gonna wanna come back home
I let her slip away and that's the price you gotta pay
But i ain't leavin' there alone

I'm bringin' her back
Bringin' my baby back home
Bringin' her back
Bringin' my baby back home

So buddy take a ten don't worry 'bout the windows
I can see enough to get me by
Forget about the change i don't need the money
She's the only thing on my mind
Aw heads will be a spinnin' when i cross the city limits]
Cause she's been away from me too long
So when the sherriff's askin' if you've seen my car a passin'
You can tell him just where i've gone

I'm bringin' her back
Bringin' my baby back home
Bringin' her back
Bringin' my baby back home

I know my baby needs me and i hope that when she sees me
That she's gonna wanna come back home
I let her slip away and that's the price you gotta pay
But i ain't leavin' there alone

I'm bringin' her back
Bringin' my baby back home
Bringin' her back
Bringin' my baby back home

I'm bringin' her back
Bringin' my baby back home
Bringin' her back
Bringin' my baby back home


5.Kentucky Girl

(david lee murphy)

Underneath the big blue moon
Everything looks lonely
Even that sweet smile upon your face
Leavin' past tobacco rows
Down that ole dirt road
Can't remember when i felt this way

What did you do
Kentucky girl
You got me wantin' more
Than i wanted to
What did you do
Kentucky girl

I knew we'd have to say goodbye
And here we are together
Takin' one last look before i go
When i saw those big brown eyes
My heart said forever
Never heard it talk like this before

What did you do
Kentucky girl
You got me wantin' more
Than i wanted to
What did you do
Kentucky girl

Well if i go away
And leave you behind
When i come back someday
Would you still be mine

What did you do
Kentucky girl
You got me wantin' more
Than i wanted to
What did you do
Kentucky girl


6.That's Behind Me

(david lee murphy)

Said goodbye in tennessee
I dried her tears and i ran free
Had the whole wide world to see
But that's behind me
Took a while 'til i found
Her sweet love i couldn't live without
Now every time i turn around
That's behind me

Yeah that's behind me
When i close the door
And try to face another night alone
It taps me on the shoulder
Just about the time my eyes begin too close
That's behind me

From the pages of my past
That ole ghost keeps, coming back
No matter where i run no matter how fast
That's behind me
Look for love and see her face
Another town another place
Though i'm a thousand miles away
That's behind me

Yeah that's behind me
When i close the door
And try to face another night alone
It taps me on the shoulder
Just about the time my eyes begin too close
That's behind me

Yeah that's behind me
When i close the door
And try to face another night alone
It taps me on the shoulder
Just about the time my eyes begin too close
That's behind me


7.I Could Believe Anything

(david lee murphy)

A little white house
On the edge of town
A shady front porch
A few acres of ground
A big brass bed
Big enough for two
Where every night
I'm dreamin' 'bout you

Maybe it's the truth
Maybe it's my imagination
All i know is what my heart's sayin'
About me and you
That you're one in a lifetime honey
Like nothin' i've ever seen
And when i'm lookin' into your eyes
I could believe anything

Never back up
Never turn round
I was never the kind
For settlin' down
And when i'm in your arms
It's where i wanna be
That little voice
Starts talkin' to me

Maybe it's the truth
Maybe it's my imagination
All i know is what my heart's sayin
About me and you
That you're one in a lifetime honey
Like nothin' i've ever seen
And when i'm lookin' into your eyes
I could believe anything

Maybe it's the truth
Maybe it's my imagination
All i know is what my heart's sayin'
About me and you
That you're one in a lifetime honey
Like nothin' i've ever seen
And when i'm lookin' into your eyes
I could believe anything


8.All Lit Up In Love

(david lee murphy)

When i saw you comin' honey
I could tell
Life's really been treatin' you well
There's a change
A burnin'bright
I'm seeing you in a different light

'cause you're
All lit up in love
Like the lights of heaven above
I've never seen you look so good
All lit up in love

You never told me honey
I was blind
You never said i'd wake up and find
That somebody'd come and
Take my place
But it's written all over your face

'cause you're
All lit up in love
Like the lights of heaven above
I've never seen you look so good
All lit up in love

Wish i'd been the one to put that sparkle in your eyes
To see that glow about you girl,it's a look i recognize

'cause you're
All lit up in love
Like the lights of heaven above
I've never seen you look so good
All lit up in love
'cause you're
All lit up in love
Like the lights of heaven above
I've never seen you look so good
All lit up in love


9.Almost Like Being There

(david lee murphy/kim tribble)

I can't count the times
And all those lonely motel nights
I've stared at four gray walls
The miles don't seem as far
Cause in my mind your in my arms
I hear your voice
And all my dreams come true

And girl is almost like being there
I close my eyes and you appear
I could swear you're right there in the room
You come to me like you always do
A sweet dream i surrender to
It's almost like being there with you

It goes straight to my heart
The way you whisper in the dark
Like only you can do
When we're alone
And in that big ole bedto
The words keep ringin in my head
Girl even
After we hang up the phone

And girl is almost like being there
I close my eyes and you appear
I could swear you're right there in the room
You come to me like you always do
A sweet dream i surrender to
It's almost like being there with you


10.Velvet Lies

(david lee murphy/buddy cannon)

You give to me
A kiss and a whisper
My love is all you'll ever want
And i've told myself
I shouldn't listen
'cause some words are said and then they're gone

And those velvet lies
On your lips tonight
Would be so easy to believe in

And i know this time
That my hands are tied
With those velvet lies
So soft and warm
Well i can't help thinking
It could always be like this
But i know the truth
Is somewhere waiting

And you know i can't resist
And those velvet lies
On your lips tonight
Would be so easy to believe in
And i know this time
That my hands are tied
With those velvet lies

And those velvet lies
On your lips tonight
Would be so easy to believe in
And i know this time
That my hands are tied
With those velvet lies


11.She's Not Mine

(david lee murphy)

I try to remember when we walk in the room
And she takes my hand
That crowds gonna stir
When they take one look at her
And be thinkin i'm a lucky man
And it could be so easy for me to believe
Cause i know there's nobody else
When i look in those eyes
And i see her smile
I've gotta keep telling myself

She's not mine
Lord knows i wish she was
She's not mine and
I'm not the lucky one
Wish i could say
That she was my baby
But she's not mine

Now i understand that a woman like that
Is never easy to keep
Oh there ain't no question
She's no man's possession
Unless she wants to be
So think what you want when she's on my arm
Cause it sure is rough on me
No matter how good feels
Or how it appears to
She don't belong to me

She's not mine
Lord knows i wish she was
She's not mine and
I'm not the lucky one
Wish i could say
That she was my baby
But she's not mine
In my dreams i know the way it feels
But lord i can't forget it's not real
She's not mine

She's not mine
Lord knows i wish she was
She's not mine and
I'm not the lucky one
Wish i could say
That she was my baby
But she's not mine
