Maybe Not Tonight

Sammy Kershaw Maybe Not Tonight Lyrics
1.How Much Does The World Weigh

(lee thomas miller/michael white)

I sat up thinkin' late last night
Do they have a way to count the stars
There's a lot of scientific minds
That claim to know what all the answers are
Well if that's the case
How much does the world weigh
Somebody's probably worked it out
You can look up what the experts say
But all you gotta do is look around
You'd be surprised who knows

Ask that woman tryin' to make the rent
And pay the bills and feed the kids
Six months ago their daddy walked away
Ask that man whose family stayed around
'cause he finally put that bottle down
Now he has to fight that battle every day
Hey, how much does the world weigh

Human spirit is a funny thing
How far it bends before it breaks
To keep the world from caving in
How much strength does it take
Well don't ask me

Ask that couple in the waiting room
The doctors say it's still too soon
It's their little girl, all they can do is pray
Ask that little boy who's gotta choose
Mom or dad, either way he'll lose
They're breakin' up and he thinks he's to blame
Hey, how much does the world weigh

Ask that man hangin' on the cross
His last breath will save the lost
The answer's in the tears on his face
Hey, how much does the world weigh
Well, how much does the world weigh
Well, how much does the world weigh


2.Louisiana Hot Sauce

(sammy kershaw/keith stegall)

Little susanna, down in louisiana
Pretty as she can be
All the boys want her, they even say she's gonna
But she don't want nobody but me

Now i'm a lucky fellow, 'cause they all try to tell her
Girl you better leave him alone
But none of them can see, what she sees in me
She loves me way down to the bone

She'll sit around and tease 'em
Tell 'em she can please 'em
But i know that she's taking me home

Well well well
She's louisiana hot sauce
Hotter than a fireball
Smoother than strawberry wine
She's lookin' good as i've seen
Strollin' in her tight jeans
Drivin' me out of my mind
Believe me there's no other
That comes in up above her
She knocks me right down to my knees

Well i know i could never have it any better
She spins me like a washing machine
And every time i hold her, man i start to smolder
When she pours her lovin' on me
She's louisiana hot sauce

Well well well
She's louisiana hot sauce
Hotter than a fireball
Smoother than strawberry wine
She's lookin' good as i've seen
Strollin' in her tight jeans
Drivin' me out of my mind
Believe me there's no other
That comes in up above her
She knocks me right down to my knees

I know i could never have it any better
She spins me like a washing machine
And every time i hold her, man i start to smolder
When she pours her lovin' on me

Well well well
She's louisiana hot sauce
Hotter than a fireball
Smoother than strawberry wine
She's lookin' good as i've seen
Strollin' in her tight jeans
Drivin' me out of my mind
Believe me there's no other
That comes in up above her
She knocks me right down to my knees

I know i could never have it any better
She spins me like a washing machine
And every time i hold her, man i start to smolder
When she pours her lovin' on me
She's louisiana hot sauce
Louisiana hot sauce


3.Look What I Did To Us

(keith stegall/gary harrison/carson chamberlain)

Hello baby - put your mama on the line
Hi, it's me again - this won't take much of your time
I know you told me to get some help
I guess i should 'cause i don't forgive myself

Look what i did to me
Look what i did to you
I took the love of a lifetime
And i tore it all in two
I broke their little hearts
And if that wasn't enough
Look what i did to you
Look what i did to me
Look what i did to us

Who won the ballgame - tell him not to cry
Win some, you lose some - tell him that's just life
I know how he feels sometimes
When i think of all i left behind

Look what i did to me
Look what i did to you
I took the love of a lifetime
And i tore it all in two
I broke their little hearts
And if that wasn't enough
Look what i did to you
Look what i did to me
Look what i did to us

Well i just needed to hear your voice instead
Of the one that echoes in my head

Look what i did to me
Look what i did to you
I took the love of a lifetime
And i tore it all in two
I broke their little hearts
And if that wasn't enough
Look what i did to you
Look what i did to me
Look what i did to us
Look what i did to you
Look what i did to me
Look what i did to us


4.How Can I Say No

(sammy kershaw)

Do i love you, do i really care
The rest of my life, do i want you there
Would i hold you tight
'til the morning light
How can i say no

If you give me your heart, would i do the same
Can you count on me for anything
Will i always be true
Would i die for you
How can i say no

How can i say no
You touched me deep in my soul
Loving you could never grow old
How can i say no

Will i stand by your side 'til death do us part
Will i dry all the tears when there's rain in your heart
If you said that you do
Would i say it too
How can i say no

How can i say no
You touched me deep in my soul
Loving you could never grow old
How can i say no
Loving you could never grow old
How can i say no


5.Ouch

(tom shapiro/al anderson)

When i was a kid i skinned my knee
And not one tear came out of me
Decided right then i was just born tough
And nothin' ever gonna ruffle my feathers

High school quaterback, football team
A revved up fine-tuned mean machine
And when i got sacked, i'd flash a grin
Saying 'what's the matter boys, can't you do any better'
No pain, no gain, i couldn't get hurt
'cause i didn't feel a thing
Then one day i saw your face
Now everything's changed

My heart's always hurtin'
My legs are barely workin'
Feels so good to kiss you on the couch
Sweet mama, your daughter's makin' my eyes water
And only one word comes out of my mouth
Ouch

Ache all over from your tender touch
You say my name and i get goosebumps
Well baby, this former man-of-steel is putty in your hands
And i love this feeling
Those eyes, that dress
Cryin' uncle, it's no contest
It's all your fault i fell in love
Now look what you've done

My heart's always hurtin'
My legs are barely workin'
Feels so good to kiss you on the couch
Sweet mama, your daughter's makin' my eyes water
And only one word comes out of my mouth
Ouch

My heart's always hurtin'
My legs are barely workin'
Feels so good to kiss you on the couch
Sweet mama, your daughter's makin' my eyes water
And only one word comes out of my mouth
Ouch
Ouch
Ouch

Oh baby, it hurt's so good


6.When You Love Someone

(keith stegall/dan hill)

When you love someone
Really love someone
You'd walk through fire to see her smile
To be the father of her child
What you wouldn't do
'cause when you love someone
Your heart just comes undone
I'll never love again it's true
The way that i love you

Maybe it's just the sound of your voice
When you say hello
Or just the way you close your eyes
When i hold you close
There are so many reasons
You're all i taste, i touch, i breathe in

'cause when you love someone
Really love someone
You'd walk through fire to see her smile
To be the father of her child
What you wouldn't do
When you love someone
Your heart and soul are one
I'll never love again it's true
The way that i love you

Sometimes i'm moved to tears
'cause girl i just can't believe
I found the person i've searched for
Seems like eternity
When i look into your blue-green eyes
I see my future and i realize
That's it's paradise

'cause when you love someone
Really love someone
You'd walk through fire to see her smile
To be the father of her child
What you wouldn't do
'cause when you love someone
Your heart and soul are one
I'll never love again it's true
The way that i love you
I'll never love again it's true
The way that i love you


7.I've Never Gone This Far Before

(keith stegall/carson chamberlain/gary harrison)

I've seen the lights down on sunset strip
The caribbean from the deck of a ship
But i've never gone this far before
Stood on a coast where the horizon stops
The rocky mountains, i've climbed to the top
But i've never gone this far before

I've been around the world
But never been to where i'm at
And i know girl
This feeling ain't on no map
I've been in love, heart and soul
But when i hold you, all i know is
I've never gone this far before

I've walked the midnight streets of spain
The champs elys in the pouring rain
But i've never gone this far before
Not many places i haven't been
But here in your arms at the rainbow's end
Oh i've never gone this far before

I've been around the world
But never been to where i'm at
And i know girl
This feeling ain't on no map
I've been in love, heart and soul
But when i hold you, all i know is
I've never gone this far before
Ooh, i've never gone this far before


8.Love Me, Loving You

(sammy kershaw/mike fornes/greg wright/gary mcguire)

Love me, loving you
Is all i want from you
Forever and a day, is not long enough i say
To show you how much you mean to me
I love you, loving me

Hold me, holding you
And we'll always hold on to
The feelings that we share
We won't let go i swear
'cause i'll show you how much you mean to me
I love you, loving me

Your pretty smile, it drives me wild
Something no one else can do
So take my hand and my wedding band
And tell me that you do

Now kiss me, kissing you
We're one now, we're not two
Together 'til the end
We'll always be best friends

And i'll show you how much you mean to me
I love you, loving me
Yes i'll show you how much you mean to me
I love you, loving me


9.More Than I Can Say

(j.i. allison/sonny curtis)

Oh oh yeah yeah
I love you more than i can say
I love you twice as much tomorrow
I love you more than i can say
Oh oh yeah yeah
I'll miss you every single day
Why must my life be filled with sorrow
I love you more than i can say

Don't you know i need you so
Tell me please i gotta know
Do you mean to make me cry
Am i just another guy
Oh oh yeah yeah
I miss you more that i can say
Why must my life be filled with sorrow
I love you more than i can say

Don't you know i need you so
Please tell me i gotta know
Do you mean to make me cry
Or am i just another guy

Oh oh yeah yeah
I love you more than i can say
I love you twice as much tomorrow
I love you more than i can say
I love you more than i can say
I love you more than i can say

Ooh, i love you more than i can say
Ooh, i love you more than i can say
Ooh, i love you twice as much tomorrow
Ooh, i love you twice as much tomorrow
Ooh, mmmm


10.Without Strings

(steve dale jones)

I can't imagine a symphony, without strings
And what good are tennis shoes, without strings
One without the other just can't be complete
What about us, what about you and me

Without strings, without ties
That's the way you want us to be
But if there's nothin' between us
There's nothin' between us
Without strings, without ties
Guess this is where we disagree
How can there be a you and me, without strings

You can call me old-fashioned, 'cause i sure am
And when i tell you i love you, well i sure do
I don't play games, i say what i mean
When i whisper in your ear
So what do we do, where do we go from here

Without strings, without ties
That's the way you want us to be
But if there's nothin' between us
There's nothin' between us
Without strings, without ties
Guess this is where we disagree
How can there be a you and me, without strings
How can there be a you and me, without strings


11.Me And Maxine

(gordon bradberry/michael lunn)

I used to kiss maxine through the front door screen
Standin' on her mama's steps
And if her daddy hadn't come along and run me off
I know i'd have never left
It's a cryin' shame but that's they way it was
Something always there to separate us

Well i tried not to let it show
But everyone seemed to know
There's something between
Me and maxine

She used to wave at me from across the street
Through her bedroom window every night
She was almost close enough for me to touch
But i still couldn't hold her tight
That's how it's been right from the start
Always something there to keep us apart

Well i tried not to let it show
But everyone seemed to know
There's something between
Me and maxine
There's something between
Me and maxine

All the things that came between us
Couldn't change a thing
Now we're together
And that's how we're gonna stay
'cause our love just grows
A little more with every day

No i'm never gonna let her go
'cause in my heart i know
There's something between
Oh i just want to hold her close
'cause in my heart i know
There's something between
There's something between
There's something between
Me and maxine
Me and maxine
I know i know there's somethin'
Somethin' between
I know i know there's somethin'
Somethin' between
Me and maxine
Somethin' between
Me and maxine


12.Maybe Not Tonight

(sammy kershaw & lorrie morgan)
(keith stegall/dan hill)

You don't touch me anymore
You never say the words i love you
You just sit behind your paper
The silence cuts me like a razor
I'm gonna leave you
Maybe someday soon
When i can give up this fight
But maybe not tonight

We don't talk much anymore
Not the same way we used to
Whenever i reach out to hold you
You turn away
What am i supposed to do
I'm gonna say goodbye
When the moment's right
Like an eagle i will fly
But maybe not tonight

Can you just hold me
In your arms so deep
Wanna feel you breathin' on my skin
We fell out of love
We can fall back in

You never look at me that way
So many times i've longed to say
You used to brush the hair back from my face
Oh god, how i miss those days
You used to make me feel like someone
Tell me where did we go wrong
You were my best friend, my one and only love
You're still the only one
Just as i'm leaving you
You walk in the room
I see the flicker in your eyes
We say maybe not tonight

Can you just hold me
In your arms so deep
Wanna feel you breathin' on my skin
We fell out of love (how did we fall out of love)
Maybe we can fall back in

You don't touch me anymore
You never say the words i love you
I love you
