What Am I Gonna Do About You

Reba Mcentire What Am I Gonna Do About You Lyrics
1.Why Not Tonight

(jon vezner, david stringfellow, nancy montgomery), this song
was used on the movie, tremors

Well pardon me but you have my attention
Ever since you strolled into the room
Believe me that it's not my intention
If i appear to come on too smooth

It's not like me to make such advances
But this time baby i could not resist
So if you're up for taking a chance on love
I can't see a better time than this

Chorus:
So baby why not tonight
This could be the start of something right
Hey you can take it easy
We can take it so slow
We can take it anywhere that you'd like to go
So baby why not tonight
The stars are out and i'm sure they'll agree
Oh it's a perfect night for falling in love
So why not fall in love with me

Oh maybe we could go out for some dinner
And later on how we could do the town
Ya know i consider myself a winner
Just to have a boy like you around

Then if you're up for doing some dancing
Yeah i know a place they dance until the dawn
Anything you like will be alright
So why not take a chance and come along

Repeat chorus (why not fall in love, why not fall in love, baby
why not
Fall
In love with me)


2.What Am I Gonna Do About You

(doug gilmore, bob simon, jim allison)

The kid down the street mowes the grass every week
The neighbor next door fixed the roof where it leaked
Job's going fine and the bills are all paid
And everyone thinks that i'm doing ok

There's a guy down at work
He's asked me out once or twice
I haven't said yes
But i'm thinking i might
And on my way home i thought i saw you walk by
If only i could get you out of my mind

Chorus:
What in the world am i gonna do about you
Oh your memory keeps coming back
From out of the blue
Oh well i try
And i try
But i still can't believe that we're through
So tell me what in the world am i gonna do about you
What am i gonna do about you

I went to the store
But it wasn't much fun
It doesn't take long when you're shopping for one
Standing in line i thought i saw you walk in
And that's when it started all over again

Repeat chorus (darling what am i gonna do about you)


3.Lookin' For A New Love Story

(donny lowery, dave loggins)

All my life i've looked at love as a fairy tale
A woman a man never never land and a storybook ending
Leading roles and my heros upon the silver screen
I played em all but always came up empty
But one of these days i'll be in a movie with 'em

Cause i believe that fantasy
Is one step from reality
For those of us who dream of love
And i believe cause i want to
There's some one man for someone who believes in love
To not give up
Even though you've heard so many say
That's the way the story goes

Chorus:
I'm lookin for a new love story
I'm lookin for a yellow brick road
That'll carry me to his door
I'm lookin for a new love story
Oh one that's never been told before

And i have searched the oceans of many a man's eyes
But i have yet to feel like more than some deserted island
I know a relationship will come for me in time
And i can't wait to see his face on my horizon
Cause one of these days he'll sail into my life

Repeat verse 2

Repeat chorus


4.Take Me Back

(john hobbs, jerry fuller)

Now and then i open up a trunk full of old souvenirs
Thumb through a scrapbook holding back the tears
I keep wishing we could do it once more
Just the way we did before

Chorus:
Take me back to sycamore park
Put the radio dial on the golden oldies
Hey lay a blanket down and hold me
We can stay all night
By the light of the moon above
So take me back, back to love

Ever since you took me to the big city
Looking for the start
Living in the fast lane
Is tearing us apart
Sometimes don't you want to trade it all in
For a little way back when

Repeat chorus

Well i remember sneaking out the back
Mama thought i was asleep
Watching for your headlights
Creeping down the street
Trying to steal a kiss
Just anyway we can
Back where it all began

Repeat chorus x2


5.My Mind Is On You

(dave loggins, don schlitz)

We had a fight
A lover's quarrel
Angry words spoken in haste
Deep in the night
It went out of control
And with tears streaming down my face
I slammed the door and i walked out
Swearing that we were through
Now i'm sitting in a bar
Thinking i've gone too far
Wondering what i'm gonna do
Thinking about calling you

Chorus:
To my left blue collar
To my right a high dollar man
Across the bar a smooth bartender
Who thinks i'm in the palm of his hand
Well they buy me drinks
Light my cigarette
They're all wondering which one i'm gonna choose
Oh my hand's on my glass
My second margarita
And my mind is on you
My mind is on you

Well i ran away
In a moment of weakness
I couldn't hold my own
I should stay
Because being together
Means more than who was right or wrong
And sitting in a room full of lonely faces
You're the only one i see
If you only knew
I was thinking of you
Would you come and rescue me
Maybe i should call and see

Repeat chorus
(my third margarita)

I should of known i could never get along
Outside of your love
It's last call
And i'm out of cigarettes
They are all wondering what i'm gonna do
Oh my hand's on the glass
It's my last margarita
And my mind is on you
My mind is on you
My mind is on you


6.Let The Music Lift You Up

(troy seals, eddie setser)

Well you say you're from the city
Chicago is your home
Hey i'm a country girl
Over oklahoma way
Oh there are miles and miles between us
But that don't mean a thing
When those guitars start to play

Oh sweet sounds of freedom
Ringing through the air
Sending out a message to us all
We don't have a curtain
Made of iron or stone
We are not divided by a wall

Chorus:
So come on tell me
Hey, hey, hey
From l.a. to broadway
Hey, hey, hey
Let the music lift you up
Hey, hey, hey,
Whoa everybody's singin'
Hey, hey, hey,
Let the music lift you up

When you're feelin' low
Hit that radio
Let the music lift you
Let the music lift you
Up, way up, way up

There are books that tell us
What makes this whole world turn
And how heaven holds the star wars
But there's no explanation
Lord it's still a mystery
How a song can touch your heart

Repeat chorus

Let the music lift you
Let the music lift you
Up, way up, way up


7.I Heard Her Cryin'

(karen staley)

The whole night in the kitchen
Saying words we'll both regret
And you scream you we're leaving
And you cursed the day we met

The sound goes above the slamming door
And broken dishes thrown around the floor
So loud it made us stop
It was the sound of a teardrop

Chorus:
When i heard her crying
Thought she was tucked away in bed
I heard her crying
Wish we could take back what we said
I didn't think she was old enough to know
Oh lord we must have hurt her so
When she begged you not to go
I heard her crying

Well i'd have given anything
For time to erase
When i turned around and saw
Those little tears roll down her face

Oh my heart nearly broke in two
When she said
Mommy what did i do
To make you and daddy mad
Oh i'm sorry i was bad

I looked at you and you looked at me
And we felt each other's shame
Kneeling down to hold our child
Said she was not to blame
Now sometimes when we're angry
And say things that aren't true
We still love each other
And baby we love you

Repeat chorus


8.No Such Thing

(paul nelson, gene nelson)

Well there's news flying 'round
On the rosy side of town
That i have gone and found somebody new
Well ?
Against the way some people talk
I guess sometimes it's all they have to do

Chorus:
Oh there ain't no such thing
As me not loving you
Honey there ain't no such thing
As me not being true
So believe your heart and not your ears
Your heart knows what is true
There's no such thing
As me not loving you

Well a love like yours and mine
Has got to deal with the jealous kind
But i don't mind there's nothing i can do
Cause their words can do no harm
With you here in my arms
So they can talk until their talk turn blue

Repeat chorus
(there ain't no such thing as me not loving you)


9.One Promise Too Late

(dave loggins, lisa silver, don schlitz)

I would have waited forever
If i'd known that you'd be here
We could have shared our lives together
And held each other close all through the years
But i've met someone before you
And my heart just couldn't wait
So no matter how much i adore you
I've got to stand behind the promise that i made

Chorus:
Where were you
When i could have loved you
Where were you
When i gave my heart away
All my life i've been dreaming of you
You came along one promise too late
You came along one promise too late

I won't say that i'm sorry that i met you
I can't have you but i never will forget you

Repeat chorus x2


10.Till It Snows In Mexico

(gordon payne, roger lavoie)

Riding up in oklahoma
People call us blind
'cause we believe in god and love
And old fashioned things
We still draw the line between wrong and right
And when a woman takes a husband it's for life

We met on a road from tulsa
Travelers in the night
Well i knew we belong together
It just felt so right
There's something about this gal you ought to know
She's gonna love you
Till it snows in mexico

Chorus:
I'm gonna love you
Till it snows in mexico
Or till the rio grande freezes over
Cause darling when god made our love
He threw away the mold
And i'm gonna love you
Till it snows in mexico

If you should ever leave me
Heaven forbid
But you don't have to worry none
About me ?
You know exactly where i'll go
I'll be waiting for the snow in mexico

Repeat chorus

Cause darling when he made our love
He threw away the mold
I'm gonna love you
Till it snows in mexico
