Why Not Me

The Judds Why Not Me Lyrics
1.Why Not Me

You've been lookin' for love all around the world
Baby, don't you know this country girl's still free?
Why not me?
Well, you've finally come down to your old hometown
Your kentucky girl's been waiting patiently
Why not me?

(chorus)

Why not me on a rainy day?
Why not me to love your cares away?
Why not me?
Why not me when the nights get cold?
Why not me when you're growin' old?
Why not me?

You've been searchin' from here to singapore
Ain't it time that you notice the girl next door, baby
Why not me?
You had to see if the world was round
It's time that you learned how good settlin' down could be
Why not me?

(repeat chorus)

You've been lookin' for love all around the world
Baby, don't you know this country girl's still free?

(repeat and fade)

Baby, why not me?


2.Mr. Pain

Met my first love down in texas
In a club in san anton'
Both of us were lonely
Had no one to call our own
So we danced and laughed 'til closin' time
And had no place to go
So with the top pulled down we drove all night
Ran off to mexico

But my blond-haired, blue-eyed cowboy
Turned out to be bad news
Disappeared one morning
Left his old boots and the blues
Now there's been so many others
But none of them were true
The only one i could count on to keep me
Company is you

Mr. pain-- oh, it's you again
Never really wanted us to be such friends
You always seem to show up
When i'm all alone
That's when you move right in
And make yourself at home
Mr. pain, oh, mr. pain

Well, you'd think by now that i'd have learned
To see through your disguise
A heartache really shouldn't be
So hard to recognize
But you wear so many faces
Every line is new
And somehow i just always end up
Wakin' up with you

Mr. pain-- oh, it's you again
Never really wanted us to be such friends
Never fail to find me when i'm all alone
That's when you move right in
And make yourself at home
Mr. pain, oh, mr.pain


3.Drops Of Water

There's a bird in my tree
Singin' sad autumn melodies
There's a old summer breeze
And it's blowin' away

There's a cloud in my sky
There's a boy who's been on my mind
There's a tear in my eye
And i think it might rain

(chorus)

Drops of water, drops of water
Fallin' down around fate
Oh, it's nothin' but the rain in my life
Drops of water, drops of water
Fallin' down around my fate
Oh, it's nothin' but the rain in my life

There's a moon up above
Shinin' down on the one i love
There's a pain in my heart
He's gone away

If a star falls tonight
Let it fall and with all my might
I close my eyes, make a wish
That he'll come back someday

(repeat chorus)

Oh, it's nothin' but the rain in my life

Drops of water, drops of water

(repeat & fade)


4.Sleeping Heart

When i awoke, there you stood beside me
I wonder now, were you there all the time?
Like a rose beneath the snow i have been waiting
And it took your kiss to make me come alive

(chorus)

Sleeping heart, love is all around you
Empty arms, what are you waiting for?
Rub your eyes, your handsome prince has found you
Sleeping heart, sleep no more

You don't have to tell me where you come from
I loved you in my dreams a long, long time
In my slumber, i kept seeing someone
And i recognized you when your lips touched mine

(repeat chorus)

Rub your eyes, your handsome prince has found you
Sleeping heart, sleep no more


5.My Baby's Gone

I woke up this morning and the sun refused to shine
I looked everywhere to try to find that man of mine
I just found an ice cold pillow layin' by my side
Well, the moon is down but it still ain't dawn
The world is dark and my baby's gone

I looked out the window and i could not help but cry
He left me all alone and never said goodbye
He even took that golden sunlight from the sky
Well, the moon is down but it still ain't dawn
The world is dark and my baby's gone

Sit here and wonder why he left me
I just try to think what i've done wrong
Stay in the darkness of this lonely room
Well, the moon is down but it still ain't dawn
The world is dark and my baby's gone

Woke up this morning and the sun refused to shine
I looked everywhere to try to find that man of mine
I just found an ice cold pillow layin' by my side
Well the moon is down but it still ain't dawn
The world is dark and my baby's gone

Well the moon is down but it still ain't dawn
The world is dark and my baby's gone

Ain't no moonlight
Ain't no starlight
Ain't no sunlight
My baby's gone

(repeat and fade)


6.Bye Bye Baby Blues

(chorus)

Oooh - i'm missin' you
I've got those bye-bye, bye-bye baby blues
Oooh- ain't much to do
Just sing those bye-bye, bye-bye baby blues

Havin' the blues, hatin' to loose
Guess i got a lot to learn
All of my friends have lost now and then
I guess it's just my turn

(repeat chorus)

Tell me the first, hurt you the worst
And time is your best friend
But when you're this sad and hurtin' this bad
How do you love again?

(repeat chorus)

Bye-bye, bye-bye baby blues


7.Girls Night Out

Friday finally came around
This girl's ready to paint the town
Tonight ain't nothin' gonna slow me down

I did my time workin' all week
Tonight's all mine, tomorrow i'll sleep
I wanna hear a band with a country sound

Well, i've been couped up all week long
I've been workin' my fingers to the bone

(chorus)

Well, it's a girl's night out
Honey, there ain't no doubt
I'm gonna dance every dance 'til the boys go home
Well, it's my night to rock
No watchin' that ol' clock
Oh, ain't no doubt, lordy it's a girl's night out

Two step or the cotton eye joe
They can play 'em fast or they can play 'em slow
I can do 'em all just show me the floor
You can give me a little rock 'n roll
Or even a waltz with the lights down low
I'll still be dancin' when they close the door

(repeat chorus)

Friday finally came around
This girl's ready to paint the town
Tonight ain't nothin' gonna slow me down

I did my time workin' all week
Tonight's all mine, tomorrow i'll sleep
I wanna hear a band with a country sound

Well, i've been couped up all week long
I've been workin' my fingers to the bone

(repeat chorus)


8.Love Is Alive

Love ain't a candle
It doesn't burn for one night
And need the dark to shine
Love is alive

And love ain't just a word
In every dictionary
With no where defined
Love is a man and he's mine

(chorus)

Love is alive
And at our breakfast table
Everyday of the week
Love is alive
And it grows everyday and night
Even in our sleep
Love is alive
And it's made a happy woman out of me
Oh, love is alive
And here by me

Love ain't just a mood
A distant far away dream
That needs the night to rise
Love is alive
And love ain't just a song
Sweet words of music
To go dancin' by
Love is a man and he's mine

(repeat chorus)

Love is alive, here by me

(repeat and fade)


9.Endless Sleep

The night was dark, rain fallin' down
Look for my baby, he's nowhere around
I traced his footsteps down to the shore
Afraid he's gone forever more

(chorus)

I looked at the sea, and it seemed to say,
'i took your baby from you away'
I heard a voice, cryin' in the deep,
'come join your baby in my endless sleep'

Why did we quarrel? why did we fight?
Why did i leave him alone tonight?
That's why his footsteps ran to the sea
That's why my baby is gone from me

(repeat chorus)

Ran in the water, heart full of fear
There in the breakers, i saw him near
Reached for my baby, held him to me
Stole him away from the endless sleep

I looked at the sea and it seemed to say,
'you took your baby from me away'
My heart cried out, 'he's mine to keep'
I saved my baby from that endless sleep

I saved my baby from that endless sleep
I saved my baby from that endless sleep


10.Mama He's Crazy

Mama, i found someone
Like you said would come along
He's a sight, so unlike
Any man i've known
I was afraid to let him in
'cause i'm not the trustin' kind
But now i'm convinced
That he's heaven sent
And must be out of my mind

(chorus)

Mama, he's crazy
Crazy over me
And in me life is where he says
He always wants to be
I've never been so in love
He beats all i've ever seen
Mama, he's crazy
He's crazy over me

And, mama, you've always said,
'better look before you leap!'
Maybe so, but here i go
Lettin' my heart lead me
He thinks i hung the moon and stars
I think he's a livin' dream
Well, there are men
But ones like him
Are few and far between

(repeat chorus)
