Patty Loveless Classics Lyrics
1.Blame It On Your Heart

(harlan howard/kostas)

You've got a thing or two to learn about me baby
'cause i ain't taking it no more and i don't mean maybe
You don't know right from wrong
Well the love we had is gone
So blame it on your lying, cheating, cold deadbeating,
Two-timing, double dealing
Mean mistreating, loving heart

Well all i wanted was to be your one and only
And all i ever got from you was being lonely
Now that dream is laid to rest
'cause you have failed the test
Hey blame it on your lying, cheating, cold deadbeating,
Two-timing, double dealing
Mean mistreating, loving heart

Are you headed for a heartache, oh yeah
Gonna get a bad break, oh yeah
You made a bad mistake, oh yeah
Well, you're never gonna find another love like mine
Someone's gonna do you like you done me honey
And when she does you like she'll do you, it ain't funny
You need some sympathy
But don't be calling me
Hey blame it on your lying, cheating, cold deadbeating
Two-timing, double dealing
Mean mistreating, loving heart

Are you headed for a heartache, oh yeah
Gonna get a bad break, oh yeah
You made a bad mistake, oh yeah
Well, you're never gonna find another love like mine
Someone's gonna do you like you done me honey
And when she does you like she'll do you, it ain't funny
You need some sympathy
But don't be calling me
Hey blame it on your lying, cheating, cold deadbeating
Two-timing, double dealing
Mean mistreating, loving heart

Hey blame it on your lying, cheating, cold deadbeating,
two-timing, double dealing
Mean mistreating, loving heart


2.Can't Get Enough

(blair daly/will rambeaux/kent blazy)

Wake up in the morning, start the coffee boiling.
I can't get enough.
Throw the curtains open, let the sun shine in.
I can't get enough.
Well, i work real hard for every penny i make. just trying to
get the job done.
At the end of the day i'm overworked and underpaid.
I can't get enough.

When the week is done i like to have some fun. i can't get
enough.
You can find me hanging out where the music's turned loud.
I can't get enough.
Yeah i'm lookin' for a guy who can light up my night.
It don't even have to be love.
A little huggin' and kissin', i'm a girl on a mission.
Can't get enough.

We only get one time around.
You better get it while you can.
If you let this old world go and get you down life will slip
right through your hands.

So bring on the laughter and bring on the tears.
I can't get enough.
It's a race against time.
Just want to live 'til i die.
I can't get enough.
Yeah i'm going to take my turn.
Gonna love, gonna learn.
Until my numbers up.
But for now i gotta run.
The parties just begun.
I can't get enough.

We only get one time around.
You better get it while you can.
If you let this old world go and get you down life will slip
right through your hands.
Life will slip right through your hands.
Oh i can't get enough.
No no i can't get enough.
Oh i can't... get enough


3.Here I Am

(tony arata)

Don't do it darlin'
Don't you dare look in there
You said you didn't want to see me
But you've been lookin' for me everywhere
And you know that you're gonna find me
If you keep on drinkin' fast
'cause honey i'm right there waitin' on you
At the bottom of your glass

And here i am
Here i am
In the bourbon and the water
That burn you just like a brand
Here i am

It ain't workin' darlin'
Hard as you may try
You keep hearin' the words you told me
In everyone's goodbye
And you know that you're just one step
From another one being gone
I know i've seen 'em all unravel
I've been watchin' it all along

And here i am
Here i am
In every lie you're hearin'
That burn you just like a brand
Here i am

And honey, i got over you passin' me over
A long time ago
And my pride was stronger when i was younger
Now i'd rather have you to know

That here i am
Here i am
I still carry a flame for you
Burnin' me like a brand
Here i am


4.How Can I Help You To Say Goodbye?

(burton banks collins/karen good taylor)

Through the back window of a '59 wagon
I watched my best friend jamie slippin' further away
I kept on waving 'till i couldn't see her
And through my tears, i asked again why we couldn't stay
Mama whispered softly, time will ease your pain
Life's about changing, nothing ever stays the same

And she said, how can i help you to say goodbye?
It's ok to hurt, and it's ok to cry
Come, let me hold you and i will try
How can i help you to say goodbye?

I sat on our bed, he packed his suitcase
I held a picture of our wedding day
His hands were trembling, we both were crying
He kissed me gently and then he quickly walked away
I called up mama, she said, time will ease your pain
Life's about changing, nothing ever stays the same

And she said, how can i help you to say goodbye?
It's ok to hurt, and it's ok to cry
Come, let me hold you and i will try
How can i help you to say goodbye?

Sitting with mama alone in her bedroom
She opened her eyes, and then squeezed my hand
She said, i have to go now, my time here is over
And with her final word, she tried to help me understand
Mama whispered softly, time will ease your pain
Life's about changing, nothing ever stays the same

And she said, how can i help you to say goodbye?
It's ok to hurt, and it's ok to cry
Come, let me hold you and i will try
How can i help you to say goodbye?

How can i help you to say goodbye?


5.I Just Wanna Be Loved By You

(kostas/emory gordy jr.)

Well there's a lot of things we could do tonight
Go out, do the town, and see the sights
But you and i got better things to do
You know it's true
I feel you deep down in my soul
Oh you got me and i won't let go
And i just wanna be loved by you
Baby just you
The moon is swayin' and the stars are fallin'
Hey, hey baby can't you hear me callin'
So let's stay home and enjoy the view
Cause i just wanna be loved by you, yeah
Don't answer the door, don't answer the phone
Let's tell the world to leave us alone
Cause i just wanna be loved by you
Baby just you
So take me in your arms and hold me real tight
Wake up the neighbors in the middle of the night
You better believe it cause you know it's true
I just wanna be, just gotta be
I just wanna be loved by you
So let's put the world up on the shelf
Tonight i want you all to myself
I just wanna be loved by you
Baby just you
Cause the moon is swayin' and the stars are fallin'
Hey, hey baby can't you hear me callin'
So let's stay home and enjoy the view
Cause i just wanna be loved by you
So take me in your ams and hold me real tight
Wake up the neighbors in the middle of the night
You better believe it cause you know it's true
I just wanna be, just gotta be
I just wanna be loved by you
I just wanna be loved by you
I just wanna be loved by you
I just wanna be, just gotta be
I just wanna be loved by you


6.I Try To Think About Elvis

(gary burr)

I try to think about elvis
Memphis
Oprah in the afternoon
I try to think about palm trees
Fig leaves
The creature from the black lagoon
I try to think about high heels
And good deals
Anything to get me through
I just can't concentrate
You're all i think about these days

I try to contemplate the cosmos
What goes
Round and round the sky at night
I try to think about champagne
Freight trains
Slowly rolling out of sight
I try to focus on the headlines
Street crimes
Everytime i think i might
I just can't concentrate
You're all i think about these days

My mind wanders where it will
When it settles right on you
I forget what i should say
I forget what i should do

My mind wanders where it will
When it settles right on you
I forget what i should say
I forget what i should do

I try to think about shakespeare
Leap year
The beatles or the rolling stones
I try to think about hair-do's
Tattoos
Sushi bars and saxophones
I try to think about the talk shows
New clothes
But i guess i should have known
I just can't concentrate
You're all i think about these days
You're all i think about these days


7.Lonely Too Long

(mike lawler/bill rice/sharon rice)

Well, good mornin'
Tell me how'd you sleep last night
You're still smiling
So we must've done something right
Don't feel guilty
Because you turned to me last night

We ain't done nothin' wrong
We've just been lonely too long
No, we ain't done nothin' wrong
We've just been lonely too long

It's only natural
When you've been too long in the dark
To look for comfort
And to warm yourself by the fire
We're just afraid
That we might get our fingers burned

But we ain't done nothin' wrong
We've just been lonely too long
No, we ain't done nothin' wrong
We've just been lonely too long

Nothing's wrong that can't be cured
With a new love
All you need is someone like me to
Be sure of, to be your love

I'll be waiting
Standing right outside your heart
And i'll be watching
For the slightest sign of a spark
And i'll be here
If you should want to turn to me

'cause we ain't done nothin' wrong
We've just been lonely too long
No, we ain't done nothin' wrong
We've just been lonely too long

We ain't done nothin' wrong
We've both been lonely too long
Oh, just been lonely too long
Both been lonely too long
Just been lonely too long


8.My Kind Of Woman/my Kind Of Man

(patty loveless & vince gill)
(vince gill)

You don't need diamonds or big fancy cars
You say you're happy right where you are
We're bound together by a little gold band
You're my kind of woman and
You're my kind man

Oh living without you is my only fear
You still drive me crazy when i hold you near
My body trembles with the touch of your hand
You're my kind of woman and
You're my kind man

You're my kind of woman
You're my kind man
A match made in heaven
By god's gentle hands
I'll love you forever
Together we'll stand
You're my kind of woman and
You're my kind man

You're my kind of woman
You're my kind man
A match made in heaven
By god's gentle hands
I'll love you forever
Together we'll stand
You're my kind of woman and
You're my kind man

You're my kind of woman and
You're my kind man


9.Nothing But The Wheel

(john scott sherrill)

Way on past the boulevards
Out here underneath the stars
I've been flying past the houses, farms and fields
Leaving all i know back there
Rushing through the cold night air
And i'm holding on to nothin' but the wheel

Staying clear of the interstate
I'm seeking out those old two lanes
Trying to explain the way i feel
Till all at once it's half past three
And it's down...to just the trucks and me
And i'm holding on to nothin' but the wheel

I've been trying to drive you off my mind
Maybe that way baby i can leave it all behind
And forty-one goes on and on
And the lights go winding in the dawn
The sky's the color now of polished steel
And the only thing i know for sure
Is if you don't want me anymore
Then i'm holding on to nothin' but the wheel

And the only thing i know for sure
Is if you don't want me anymore
Then i'm holding on to nothin' but the wheel

I'm holding on to nothin' but the wheel


10.You Can Feel Bad

(matraca berg/tim krekel)

The car is runnin' and your bags are packed
I guess that says it all
Your head is hangin' and you look real sad
Maybe you should've called
You say you think you need a brand-new start
You're really sorry that you broke my heart
Well, i'm not really fallin' apart, but baby

You can feel bad if it makes you feel better
Picture me cryin' reading all your love letters
Walkin' around in your old sweaters, baby
You can feel bad if it makes you feel better

Maybe i'll go out tonight, yeah, i'll paint the town
And maybe i'll run into you, while i'm runnin' 'round
There's a good chance i'll be alone
An even better one that you won't
And when it's time for me to go home, baby

You can feel bad if it makes you feel better
Picture me cryin' reading all your love letters
Walkin' around in your old sweaters, baby
You can feel bad if it makes you feel better
If it makes you feel something

Yeah, take another look at these tears i'm crying
They're not fallin' on your shoulders, they're fallin' on mine
Yeah, ive seen this comin' for a long, long time
Now, i'll be just fine

You can feel bad if it makes you feel better
And picture me cryin' reading all your love letters
Walkin' around in your old sweaters, baby
You can feel bad if it makes you feel better

You can feel bad if it makes you feel better
And picture me cryin' reading all your love letters
Walkin' around in your old sweaters, baby
You can feel bad if it makes you feel better

If it makes you feel something
If it makes you feel better


11.You Don't Even Know Who I Am

(gretchen peters)

She left the car in the driveway
She left the key in the door
She left the kids at her mama's
And the laundry piled up on the floor
She left her ring on the pillow
Right where it wouldn't be missed
She left a note in the kitchen
Next to the grocery list

It said, you don't even know who i am
You left me a long time ago
You don't even know who i am
So what do you care if i go

He left the ring on the pillow
He left the clothes on the floor
And he called her to say he was sorry
But he couldn't remember what for
So he said i've been doing some thinking
I've been thinking that maybe you're right
I go to work every morning
And i come home to you every night

And you don't even know who i am
You left me a long time ago
You don't even know who i am
So what do i care if you go
You don't even know who i am
So what do i care if you go


12.You Don't Seem To Miss Me

(jim lauderdale)

It's a long way off from where i should be goin'
And everytime, i hate to leave your side
But now when i return, there's somethin' missin'.
When i'm gone you don't seem to miss me.

Now life's so fast and everything is changing'
And if your changing too, then i don't blame you.
I remember how you used to kiss me,
But when i'm gone you don't seem to miss me.

I'm going back, i wonder why,
I'm runnin' fast to get home.
I just can't wait to see your face but
You don't seem to miss me.

No one can take away the things you've given,
And all the good we've had alone together
There was a time when you could not resist me.
Now i'm gone and you don't seem to miss me.

I'm going back, i wonder why,
I'm runnin' fast to get home.
I just can't wait to see your face but
You don't seem to miss me.

I can't wait to see your face
But you don't seem to miss me.
