The Forester Sisters The Forester Sisters - Greatest Lyrics
1.Lonely Alone

Lyricist:John Jarrard, J.d. Martin

I was so careless, I left you all alone
When I was running in the streets and carrying on
You were so patient, you never said a word
You tried to hide all your tears and bury the hurt

I was such a fool, I didn't figure it out
Till I came home last night to an empty house

I didn't know it was this lonely alone
I didn't know the nights could be so long
When someone you need so desperately is gone

I didn't know how bad the hurt could be
It took you walking out to make me see
Baby, please come home
I didn't know it was this lonely alone

It's only midnight but baby with you gone
It's forever since sundown and forever till dawn
And as I lie here looking at myself
It's hitting me hard how you must have felt

I'm sorry, I hurt you and I'm sorry, you cried
And I'd give anything if I could hold you tonight

I didn't know it was this lonely alone
I didn't know the nights could be so long
When someone you need so desperately is gone

I didn't know how bad the hurt could be
It took you walking out to make me see
Baby, please come home
I didn't know it was this lonely alone

I didn't know it was this lonely alone
I didn't know the nights could be so long
Baby, please come home
I didn't know it was this lonely alone

I didn't know it was this lonely alone
I didn't know the nights could be so long
Baby, please come home
I didn't know it was this lonely alone


2.Men

Lyricist:Robert B Byrne, David Alan Schulman

They buy you dinner, open your door
Other then that, what are they good for?
Men! I'm talkin' 'bout men
They all want a girl just like the girl
That married dear old dad they make me so mad

Men! I'm talkin' 'bout men
Well, you can't beat 'em up 'cause they're bigger then you
You can't live with 'em and you just can't shoot 'em
Men! I'm talkin' 'bout men

They love their toysthey make their noise
They're nothing but a bunch of overgrown boys
Men! I'm talking 'bout men
If you give 'em what they want, they never fall in love
Don't give 'em nothin' they can't get enough

Men! I'm talking 'bout men
Well, you can't beat 'em up 'cause they're bigger then you
You can't live with 'em and you just can't shoot 'em
Men! I'm talkin' 'bout men

In the beginning they always aim to please
They serve a purposethey fill a need
They ensure survival of the species
They take you for a ride, run of gas
Most of the time they're a pain in the a-a yeah, yeah

Men! I'm talkin' 'bout men
Well, you can't beat 'em up 'cause they're bigger then you
You can't live with 'em and you just can't shoot 'em
Men! I'm talkin' 'bout men

Silver tongue devils
Well, they're lying through their teeth
Saying anything
Just to sweep you off your feet
Ooh yeah, men! talkin' 'bout men
Mere mortal men


3.Just In Case

Lyricist:S Lemaire, J Pennington

I saw you walkin' down the street just the other day
Took one little look at me and turned the other way
Can't say I blame you but I'd like for you to know
How wrong I was to ever let you go

Just in case, you ever change your mind
If you suddenly decide to give me one more try
I'll be waiting in the wings, just lookin' for a sign
Just in case you change your mind

What can I say darlin', what can I do?
Well, I've got to find some way to change your point of view
I've always loved you and that's a natural fact
If you could only find it in your heart to take me back

Just in case, you ever change your mind
If you suddenly decide to give me one more try
I'll be waiting in the wings, just lookin' for a sign
Just in case you change your mind

Just in case, you ever change your mind
If you suddenly decide to give me one more try
I'll be waiting in the wings, just lookin' for a sign
Just in case you change your mind

Just in case, you ever change your mind
If you suddenly decide to give me one more try
I'll be waiting in the wings, just lookin' for a sign
Just in case you change your mind


4.(That's What You Do) When You're In Love

Lyricist:Ken Bell, Terry Skinner, J.l Wallace

Well, the door's unlocked and the lights still on
And the covers turned down on the bed
And you don't have to say that you're sorry anymore
'Cause honey I believe what you said

If there's anybody perfect, well, I ain't seem 'em yet
And we all gotta learn to forgive and forget
That's what you do when you're in love, in love
That's what you do when you're in love

Well, he called me up to tell me that he wasn't coming home
Guilt was too heavy and his pride too strong
He'd had a lot to drink and he did me wrong
'Cause he didn't sleep alone last night

He said the other woman couldn't hold a light to me
But she made him feel young, kinda wild and free
He called home with his guilty plea
'Cause he knew he hadn't done me right

He expected me to cry and hang up the phone
But all my heart could say

Yes, the door's unlocked and the lights still on
And the covers turned down on the bed
And you don't have to say that you're sorry anymore
'Cause honey I believe what you said

If there's anybody perfect, well, I ain't seem 'em yet
And we all gotta learn to forgive and forget
That's what you do when you're in love, in love
That's what you do when you're in love

He said you're some kinda woman to feel this way
'Cause honey, I expected there'd be hell to pay
When a man gets lonely sometimes he'll play
Last night I was a lonely man

I said I know that you think I'm being kind and sweet
Loneliness can be a two-way street
Many times I've had to fight the urge to cheat
I'm just sayin' that I understand

As he stood there thinkin' bout the words I said
I think he began to see

And the door's unlocked and the lights still on
And the covers turned down on the bed
And you don't have to say that you're sorry anymore
'Cause honey I believe what you said

If there's anybody perfect, well, I ain't seem 'em yet
And we all gotta learn to forgive and forget
That's what you do when you're in love, in love
That's what you do when you're in love

Well, the door's unlocked and the lights still on
And the covers turned down on the bed
And you don't have to say that you're sorry anymore
'Cause honey I believe what you said

If there's anybody perfect, well, I ain't seem 'em yet
And we all gotta learn to forgive and forget
That's what you do when you're in love, in love
That's what you do when you're in love

Well, the door's unlocked and the lights still on
And the covers turned down on the bed
And you don't have to say that you're sorry anymore
'Cause honey I believe what you said

If there's anybody perfect, well, I ain't seem 'em yet


5.Letter Home

Lyricist:Wendy Waldman

Dear mama, I hope that you're alright
I can hear the thunder rollin'
Across the Southern sky tonight
The kids are asleep and the T.V.'s on
And I'm sittin' here alone
So I thought I'd write this letter home

I was the one you were counting on
The families high school star
Jimmy and me ran off that summer
Must have broken your and daddy's heart
We didn't need nobodies help
We were 18 years and grown
That's why there was no letter home

Letters home I wrote them in my dreams
Askin' if I know what I know now
Would it even have changed a thing
The hardest part of looking back
Is the mistakes are all your own
I just couldn't tell you
So there was no letter home

Jimmy found somebody else
He told me that on New Year's Day
Said he felt like a man with her
And I watched him drive away
Children and rent, there were no time for tears
Just time to carry on, so hard to tell you
So there was no letter home

Letters home I wrote them in my dreams
Askin' if I know what I know now
Would it even have changed a thing
The hardest part of looking back
Is the mistakes are all your own
I just couldn't tell you
So there was no letter home

Work in a place with some other girls
And we're all doing alright
We raise our kids and our jeans still fit
And sometimes we go out at night
Sitting here tonight
So I thought I'd write this letter home

Letters home I wrote them in my dreams
Askin' if I know what I know now
Would it even have changed a thing
The hardest part of looking back
Is the mistakes are all your own
I just couldn't tell you
So there was no letter home
