Easy Come, Easy Go

Many times temptation grows so strong
And makes someone go blind to what is wrong.
We'll stop now while there's still the strength to see.
Turn your eyes and run away from me.

[Chorus:]
Stay out of my arms, take my advice.
It's easy to break the same heart twice.
Let's stop the hurt before it starts.
Don't follow me, stay out of my arms.

I'm sure you'll find someone to have and hold
And keep the promises that you were told.
I'd only lead you on and let you down,
And hurt you when good memories can't be found.

[Chorus 2x]

Don't follow me, stay out of my arms.

- Jim Lauderdale

One look at you
And just look at me
Held under your spell
So helplessly
Yes I'm still your fool
Any fool can see
One look at you
And just look at me

I thought I'd be over you by now
But I guess it's too soon
The truth was so plain to see
Tonight when you walked in the room
I just couldn't control the tears
When I saw you again
My love is still as strong for you
As it's ever been

One look at you
And just look at me
Held under your spell
So helplessly
Yes I'm still your fool
Any fool can see
One look at you
And just look at me

I'm still your fool
Guess I'll always be
One look at you
And just look at me

- Gerald Smith, Curtis Wayne

Says she's had enough of me, I've had enough of her too.
I might as well go on and set her free, she's already turned me loose.
No fault, no blame, nobody done no wrong-
That's just the way it sometimes goes.
Sometimes two people just don't get along, it's time to hit the road.

Goodbye, farewell, so long, vaya condios.
Good luck, wish you well, take it slow.
Easy come girl, easy go.

We tried to work it out a hundred times, ninety- nine it didn't work.
I think it's best we put it all behind before we wind up getting hurt.
No hard feelings darling, no regrets,
No tears and no broken hearts.
Call it quits, calling off all bets, it just wasn't in the cards.

Easy come girl, easy go.
Vaya condios, good luck,
Easy come, easy go.

- Aaron Barker, Dean Dillon

Heard somebody speak her name
They said she was still looking fine
I could feel that same old flame
I once felt when she was mine
Always thought that I was missing something
But I found out much too late
There'll never be another who loved me that way

I'd like to have that one back
I've never known someone so true
And a love that's pure and sweet
Is what a man should never lose
And if my lips had said I'm sorry
She might have stopped right in her tracks
Now I find my poor heart saying
I'd like to have that one back

I can almost see her standing there
Tears rolling down her face
As she packed away her memories
In that old worn out suit case
If I'd only known then what I know now
I'd never open that door
Oh they just don't make hearts like her's any more

I'd like to have that one back
I've never known someone so true
And a love that's pure and sweet
Is what a man should never lose
And if my lips had said I'm sorry
She might have stopped right in her tracks
Now I find my poor heart saying
I'd like to have that one back

- Aaron Barker, Bill Shore, Rick West

Well I was ruling the roost, had all the chicks to myself.
And suddenly it happened, that funny little feeling I felt.
Well I tried to outrun it, but it finally caught up with me.
Tell me how can I run from something that I can't see?

Oh that little bitty teeny weeny thing they call the lovebug.
Nobody's ever seen it, but it's got the whole world shook up.
It all started with a little bitty kiss and a hug.
It's a little bitty teeny weeny thing they call the lovebug.

Well I always thought that I had me a pretty good style,
But I lost that race by a good old country mile.
Well I was walking all around with my head held way up high,
And it fooled me, hit me, really took me by surprise.

Oh that little bitty teeny weeny thing they call the lovebug.
Nobody's ever seen it, but it's got the whole world shook up.
It all started with a little bitty kiss and a hug.

Oh that little bitty teeny weeny thing they call the lovebug.
Nobody's ever seen it, but it's got the whole world shook up.
It all started with a little bitty kiss and a hug.
It's a little bitty teeny weeny thing they call the lovebug.

It's a little bitty teeny weeny thing they call the lovebug.
Oh that little bitty teeny weeny thing they call the lovebug.
Nobody's ever seen it, but it's got the whole world shook up.
It all started with a little bitty kiss and a hug.
It's a little bitty teeny weeny thing they call the lovebug.

It's a little bitty teeny weeny thing they call the lovebug.

I wasn't fooling around, everything's true what I say.
So take me seriously, darlin, please just take me.
I wasn't fooling around.

Laugh if you want to, but I wasn't joking
About this love that's real.
Is it surprising I'm romanticizing about the way I feel.

I wasn't playing a game, I'm not a kid anymore.
I'm not the clown that's just here to amuse you.
I wasn't fooling around.

Laugh if you want to, but I wasn't joking
About this love that's real.
Is it surprising I'm romanticizing about the way I feel.

I wasn't fooling around, it wasn't like that at all.
So take me seriously, darlin' please just take me.
I wasn't fooling around, I wasn't fooling around.

- Jim Lauderdale, John Leventhal

You said she asked if you knew where she could get some old boxes
'Cause she was going to pack up everything she owned
Where the closest U-Haul place is and what the cost was
This time tomorrow she'll be gone

She says she knows of a place to sell her ring for a good price
That and what she saved will get her by
If she can find a job in that little town that she's headed to
To start over with her life

[Chorus:]
Without me around
Taking up her time and tying her down
Without me in the way
She'll be free to enjoy the freedom
You say she's found without me around

Said she didn't know what she was getting into
When we got married
But she knows damn well what she's getting out of
Said she's had enough of a man who's never there
When she needs him
She'll be better off in the long run

[Chorus]

What she found without me around

- Dean Dillon, John Northrup

I'm not the hero who will always save the day.
Don't always wear the white hat, don't always know the way.
I may not even be the dream you wanted to come true,
But I'll always be the man in love with you.

I'm not the key that opens every door.
I don't have the power to give you all you want and more,
But when you're needin' somethin' special you can hold on to,
I'll always be the man in love with you.

I never could work miracles.
There may be others who can do what I can't do,
But no one else can be as good as me at lovin' you.

So when the world won't turn the way you wish it would,
And the dreams you have don't come alive as often as they should,
Remember that there's someone there whose heart is always true.
I'll always be the man in love with you.

Remember that there's someone there whose heart is always true,
Someone there to help you make it through.
I'll always be the man in love with you.

- Steve Dorff, Gary Harju

I met her in that honky tonk
I thought that she would change
But now I see just how much I was wrong
Though we both tried out love still died
And now she's gone from me
Back to the only life she's known

Back where the musics loud
Back to that swingin' crowd
That's where my baby feels at home
Back where the wine flows free
That's where she go's from me
That's where my baby feels at home

As I wait here in the shadows
I can see those flashing lights
I'll bet there have been lot's of fun inside
I keep hopein' she'll come back to me
Just any old time
She'll walk through that door just any night

Back where the musics loud
Back to that swingin' crowd
That's where my baby feels at home
Back where the wine flows free
That's where she go's from me
That's where my baby feels at home

That's where my baby feels at home

- Wayne Kemp, Curtis Wayne, Faron Young

Some folks got nothing but trouble
So little joy in their lives
But wherever we go happiness follows
We must be lovin' right

It might be the way I adore you
Or the way that you hold me tight
I don't know the reasons girl I'm believing
We must be lovin' right

All our friends say love fades away with time
But I know their wrong
'Cause they've never known
A love like yours and mine

So if the whole world goes crazy
Let everyone else fuss and fight
When all is said and done, we'll be the lucky ones
We must be lovin' right

Some folks got nothin' but troubles
So little joy in their lives
But wherever we go happiness follows
We must be lovin' right
We must be lovin' right

- Clay Blaker, Roger Brown
