8 I Want My Rib Back

10 I'd Love to Change Your Name

Whatever It Takes

Well, I've been drawing little hearts in the morning paper
Lookin' for a house an' a couple of acres
You'll be mine some time, sooner or later and I can't wait

Like a busy ol' bee savin' up it's honey
Honey I'm savin' up all my money
To have you I'll do anything I have to,
Whatever it takes

Whatever it takes to win your love
I'll hire me an airplane, have it paint your name
up in the sky above
I'll tell the world I'm yours, put it on a billboard
out on the interstate
If it takes forever to get us together
Honey I'll do whatever it takes

Well I've been yellin' your name from a lookout mountain
Tossing my pennies in a downtown fountain
Makin' my wishes I'm hopin' they're countin' for loves sake
I'll swim upstream in a ragin' river
Walk through fire til you get the picture
I swear I'll bare anything to get there
Whatever it takes

Whatever it takes to win your love
I'll hire me an airplane, have it paint your name
up in the sky above
I'll tell the world I'm yours, put it on a billboard
out on the interstate
If it takes forever to get us together
Honey I'll do whatever it takes

Whatever it takes to win your love
I'll hire me an airplane, have it paint your name
up in the sky above
Yeah I'll tell the world I'm yours,
put it on a billboard out on the interstate
If it takes forever to get us together
Honey I'll do whatever it takes
Well if it takes forever to get us together
Honey I'll do whatever it takes

Somebody's Callin'

Somebody's callin callin' my little darlin'
Darlin' tonite
This time, Oh Lord, it ain't me
Instead a sittin' here bawlin' bawlin'
Oughta be a crawlin' back to make things right
Somebody's callin' my little darlin'
Darlin' tonite

Well, the clock on the wall says midnight
And my baby still ain't home
Where, oh where, can she be?
Well I get a sneakin suspicion
She ain't all alone
What is this sound
I hear a hauntin' me?

Somebody's callin' callin' my little darlin'
Darlin' tonite
This time, Oh Lord, it ain't me
Instead a sittin' here bawlin' bawlin'
Oughta be a crawlin' back to make things right
Somebody's callin' my little darlin'
Darlin' tonite

Well she used to always be there
Whenever I would call
Waitin' for me patiently
Now my fingers are cut o' stone
dialin' this ol' phone
I guess she's over gettin over me

Somebody's callin' callin' my little darlin'
Darlin' tonite
This time, Oh Lord, it ain't me
Instead a sittin here bawlin' bawlin'
Oughta be a crawlin' back to make things right
Somebody's callin' my little darlin'
Darlin' tonite

Instead a sittin here bawlin' bawlin'
Oughta be a crawlin' back to make things right
Somebody's callin' my little darlin'
Darlin' tonite

The Tin Man

Saw a man in the movies
That didn't have a heart
how i wish i could give him mine
then i wouldnt have to feel
it breakin all apart
and this emptiness inside
would suit me fine

its times like these
i wish i were the tin man
you could hurt me all you wanted
i'd never even know
and i'd give anything
just to be the tin man
then i wouldn't have a heart
and i wouldn't need a soul

i couldn't see your leavin coming
it took me by surprise
even now still seems like a dream
but i know i cant be dreaming
cause as i lay down each nite
the pains so great that it won't let me sleep

its times like these
i wish i were the tin man
you could hurt me all you wanted
i'd never even know
well i'd give anything
just to be the tin man
and i wouldn't have a heart
and i wouldn't need a soul

i'd give anything
just to be the tin man
and i wouldnt have a heart
and i wouldn't miss you so

High and Dry

last night I think I put that homefire out,
I came in late and lit to a cold dark house.
I guess she thinks she's got me good this time
She took all of hers and most of mine.

She left me High
but I ain't dry
I've got beer
and tears to cry
Well I should be feeling low
Up that creek that we all know
Yeah that woman left me high
but I ain't dry

Say hey bartender fill 'er up again
let's just keep me in the shape i'm in
and if I can't get her memory to drown
uh oh
Well I'll take it for a swim all over town

She left me high
but I ain't dry
I've got beer
and tears to cry
Well I should be feeling low
up that creek that we all know
yeah that woman left me high
but I ain't dry

Well, I should be feeling low
up that creek that we all know
yeah that woman left me high
but I ain't dry

I Finally Found Somebody

Well I finally found somebody,
Who lives to give their love to me, only me.
She takes away my worries,
Shows me how true love's meant to be, what a relief

Now love don't have to be a ball and chain,
Or somebody pullin' on a puppet string.
Danglin' you around,
Like you got no mind all.

Love don't fade when the dog days come,
And hangs in tough 'til it sees the sun.
And I finally found somebody who,
Lets that love light shine on through

Well I finally found somebody,
Who welcomes me with open arms, into their heart.
Thank God, my search is over.
I found a four-leaf clover, love took me long enough.

Now love don't have to be a ball and chain,
Or somebody pullin' on a puppet string.
Danglin' you around,
Like you got no mind all.

Love don't fade when the dog days come,
And hangs in tough 'til it sees the sun.
And I finally found somebody who,
Lets that love light shine on through.

Lets that love light shine on through.

Well I finally found somebody.
Well I finally found somebody.
I finally found somebody.
I finally found somebody.

When She Calls Me Baby

She'll call me honey
When she needs a helping hand
She might say darlin'
If she needs someone to understand
She'll call me sugar
If she's feelin' kinda sweet
She'll say that I'm crazy
Over my little jealousies

When she calls me baby
I just reach for the light
I'll hold her like a lady
Thank God she's all mine
With her arms around me
I can leave the world behind
When she calls me baby
I know what's on her mind

When this life has brought
me to my keees
She's got a way of bringin'
out the man in me

When she calls me baby
I just reach for the light
I'll hold her like a lady
Thank God she's all mine
With her arms around me
I can leave the world behind
When she calls me baby
I know what's on her mind

Oh, when she calls me baby
I know what's on her mind

I Want My Rib Back

Now the bible tells the story about Adam's rib.
How the Lord made a woman for companionship.
And the first thing she did,
Was take a bite of that forbidden fruit.
Well, I guess we'll be paying till the end of time,
At least that's how it is with that woman of mine.
Oh Lord, I think I want my rib back.

Now this is wrong and, baby, that ain't right.
And I'm working tryin' to please that woman day and night.
She's never satisfied although I try to do the best that I can.
Somethin's got a change honey, I'm gonna leave.
I won't let evolution gonna make a monkey out of me,
Oh Lord, I think I want my rib back.

There's been a hole in wallet and a pain in my side,
Ever since I made that girl my blushing bride.
Her daddy calls her angel,
And her momma calls her three times a night.
Her cousins on my sofa, her sister's got my car,
Her brother's drink my liquor like my house was a bar,
Oh Lord, well, I think I want my rib back.

Now this is wrong and, baby, that ain't right.
And I'm working tryin' to please that woman day and night.
She's never satisfied although I try to do the best that I can.
Somethin's got a change honey, I'm gonna leave.
I won't let evolution gonna make a monkey out of me,
Oh Lord, I think I want my rib back.

Oh Lord, I think I want my rib back.

Angel Loved the Devil

I was lost in the wild side of life
I was blinded by smoke and neon lights
I was drinkin' and sinkin'
Without a prayer
Then she showed up
Right out of thin air

She took me to heaven
Oh my Lord, what a ride
And I've never been higher
On her love I could fly
I was hell bound
On my way down
Then I found what I need
Oh, an angel loved the devil out of me

I thank God for her love each day
He saved me
When he sent her my way
Now each night
I drive by those neon lights
And go home to my own paradise

Where she takes me to heaven
Oh my Lord, what a ride
and I've never been higher
On her love I could fly
I was hell bound
On my way down
Then I found what I need
Oh, an angel loved the devil out of me

Oh yes she did
An angel loved the devil out of me

I'd Love to Change Your Name

Honey I'd love to change your name
Make yours and mine one in the same
Ain't nothin' else about you I'd ever want to change
Honey I'd sure love to change your name

Do you believe in
Love a first site
I don't think that I did
Not until tonight
I saw you dancin'
On that hardwood floor
Kickin' your heels up
I knew it was love forevermore

Honey I'd love to change your name
Make yours and mine one in the same
Ain't nothin' else about you I'd ever want to change
Honey I'd sure love to change your name

You're probably thinkin'

Well you're right darlin'
I'm a fool for you
You'll buy this line babe
I'll buy you a ring
Get on my knees and
Beg you please to marry me

Honey I'd love to change your name
Make yours and mine one in the same
Ain't nothin' else about you I'd ever want to change
Honey I'd sure love to change your name

Honey I'd love to change your name
Make yours and mine one in the same
Ain't nothin' else about you I'd ever want to change
Honey I'd sure love to change your name
Yeah, Honey I'd sure love to change your name
