Because One Of Us Was Wrong lyrics - Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton
I'm sorry I was weak enough to step out on you
Well, I should have been strong enough not to step out on you too
I know that I'd hurt you and I stepped out for spite
Because one of us was wrong don't mean the other one was right
I'm not making excuses for myself I was wrong as I could be
But you shouldn't have cheapened yourself trying to get even with me
My conscience bothers me mine won't let me sleep at night
Because one of us was wrong don't mean the other one was right
Two wrongs don't make one right and now we both got heartaches
But if we both try we can forgive each other for our mistakes
We let no wonderful love slip through our hands we'd better hold on tight
Because one of us was wrong don't mean the other one was right
Because one of us was wrong don't mean the other one was right
The Last Thing On My Mind lyrics - Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton
(originally by Tom Paxton)
It's a lesson too late for the learning
Made of sand, made of sand
In the wink of an eye my soul is turnin'
In your hand, in your hand
Are you going away
With no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind
Oh, I could've loved you better
Didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind
As we walk along my thoughts are tumblin'
Round and round, round and round
Underneath our feet are someplace rumblin'
Underground, underground
Are you going away
With no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind
Oh, I could've loved you better
Didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind
I've got reason a plenty for goin'
This I know, this I know
The weeds have been steadily growin'
Please don't go, please don't go
Are you going away
With no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind
I could've loved you better
Didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind
Are you going away
With no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind
Oh, I could've loved you better
Didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind
You know that was the last thing on my mind
Love Is Worth Living lyrics - Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton
I know what you're thinking when you look at me
The love in your eyes is so easy to see
It's real and it's good what I feel for you
Love is worth living when you love like we do
I understand when you're not feeling well
If there's something on your mind I always can tell
I'm there when you need me and you're there when I need you
Love is worth living when you love like we do
Love is worth living when you love like we do
We found the happiness that very few do
You know that I want you and you know that I want you
Love is worth living when you love like we do
Love is worth living when you love like we do
We found the happiness that very few do
You know that I want you and you know that I want you
Love is worth living when you love like we do
Love is worth living when you love like we do
Just Between You And Me lyrics - Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton
So I feel so blue sometimes I want to die
And so I've got a broken heart so what
They say that time will heal all wounds in mice and men
And I know that someday I'll forget and love again
But just between you and me I've got my doubts about it
Just between you and me you're too much to forget
So I've lost the only one I've ever loved
And so I've never felt so low so what
I'll just tell myself each time I want to cry
That someday time will dry the teardrops from my eyes
Just between you and me I'm not so sure about it
Just between you and me you're too much to forget
You're too much to forget
Mommie, Ain't That Daddy lyrics - Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton
The snow was fallin' swiftly and it mounted on the street
Little footprints in the snow made by our children's feet
As I walked them to the good will store to get some clothes to wear
As we turned around the corner I saw you standing there
I tried to turn the children and walk the other way
I prayed they hadn't seen you then I heard the baby say
"Mommie, ain't that Daddy holding out his hand
Begging for money from that other man?"
They asked me "Ain't that Daddy?"
And "Yes" I had to say
And I wondered if I'd failed you
And made you turn this way
No, you didn't fail me, my weakness was just too strong
Because you see, I thought more of the bottle than our family and our home
No, you didn't fail me sweetheart, you loved me all you could
You had my babies and you loved me like no other woman ever would
You know I guess I'd be better off dead
Than in the awful ship I'm in
But death just don't seem to have a place for those that stay drunk on whiskey, wine and gin
You see I die a constant death over and over every day
If I could change, you know I'd do it for you, the babies and our home
But you might as well forget me for I'm just too forward gone
But I wish you would do me one last favor and do it just for me
When they ask you, "Momma ain't that Daddy?"
Just say "It used to be"
4-0-33 lyrics - Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton
Well, the two new people that's moved to the middle of the block
And we're at the top of the town and don't you think we're not
Well, we found love and happiness people envy us you see
For we found heaven right here on earth at 4-0-33
Yes, we found what most people are looking for
And it's not a lotta money to spend on real fine car
But it's so when and where a bird flies and sings so free
And there's whole lotta winds in this little house at 4-0-33
Four thousandth block proves what true love can do
Once a lonely place but was sold to me and you
Oh, all around the house you can see little children play
But they're not as a people's kids were proud to say
They are the symbol of our love for all the world to see
They're a part of heaven right here on earth at 4-0-33
Our love's on the day you can see many people drive by
For look at the house they think there from the sky
They think this place would make them as happy as you and me
And the whole town's tryin' to buy our house at 4-0-33
Four thousandth block proves
And we're not gonna sale our happy little house at 4-0-33
Wouldn't take a pretty thing for the love we had at 4-0-33
Sorrow's Tearing Down The House lyrics - Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton
I met you and we married we planned our future well
We built our home on happiness then suddenly it fell
It wasn't long there after our love began to tilt
Sorrow's tearing down the house that happiness once built
First came the weekly parties that never seemed to end
And then came the heartbreak brought by so-called friends
I guess that I'm as much to blame and while we share the guilt
Sorrow's tearing down the house that happiness once built
First came the weekly parties that never seemed to end
And then came the heartbreak brought by so-called friends
I guess that I'm as much to blame and while we share the guilt
Sorrow's tearing down the house that happiness once built
Sorrow's tearing down the house that happiness once built
This Time Has Gotta Be Our Last Time lyrics - Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton
Here we are again going in this cheap place
What if was seen by a friend and they recognize our face
We both know that it's wrong we both should be at home
This time has gotta be our last time
I know that you want me just as much as I want you
You've got a family and I've got one too
From now on we must stay apart we just can't break all their hearts
This time has gotta be our last time
This time has gotta be our last time
We'll put our rings back on our hands
Your conscience hurt you well mine does too
I'm not this kind of woman and I'm not this kind of man
We just can't go on cheating neither of us is this kind
This time has gotta be our last time
This time has gotta be our last time
Before I Met You lyrics - Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton
I thought I had seen pretty girls in my time
But that was before I met you
I never saw one that I wanted for mine
But that was before I met you
I thought I was swinging the world by the tail
I thought I could never be blue
I thought I'd been kissed and I thought I'd been loved
But that was before I met you
I thought I'd stay single always be free
But that was before I met you
I said that no sweet thang could ever hold me
But that was before I met you
I thought I was swinging the world by the tail
I thought I could never be blue
I thought I'd been kissed and I thought I'd been loved
But that was before I met you
That was before I met you
Home Is Where The Hurt Is lyrics - Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton
We're well known in every honky tonk in town
Not a night goes by that we don't make the rounds
People wonder why we choose to live this way
Why don't they ever stay at home I hear them say
But home is where the hurt is
Cause love doesn't live there anymore
Home is where the hurt is
That's why we don't stay at home much anymore
What was once our happy home has come to be
A place to fuss and fight and disagree
Our lonely house with wall to wall regret
And these bright lights somehow help us to forget
Cause home is where the hurt is
Cause love doesn't live there anymore
Home is where the hurt is
That's why we don't stay at home much anymore
That's why we don't stay at home much anymore
Two Sides To Every Story lyrics - Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton
Two sides to every story we didn't stay that out if we'll take time
Two sides to every story you tell yours and I tell mine
Well, where were you last night when I came home
When I came in you were out and gone
Well, I waited up till up to two then I went downtown to look for you
So how's about tellin' me where you were at
Well, me and the boys stopped off for a drink or two
(Now ain't you a pretty thing)
Well, we got to drinkin' and I guess that time just flew
Well, the time must've flown for you all right
'Cause I thought you're gonna stay out all night
And I told myself I ain't puttin' up to that
There's always two sides to every story we didn't stay that out if we'll take time
Two sides to every story you tell yours and I tell mine
You said you went downtown to look for me
Did you have to dress up fancy as could be
You know I never leave the house you know jacky clothes lookin' like slut
And I's downtown just to look in my best for you
Now I'm not accusin' you of doin' wrong
But that's awful late for you to be out and gone
Now look who's talkin' bout bein' late and I went about to sit and wait
Why you were at that when with no tellin' who
There's always two sides to every story we didn't stay that out if we'll take time
Two sides to every story you tell yours and I tell mine
There's always two sides to every story we didn't stay that out if we'll take time
Two sides to every story you tell yours and I tell mine
Put It Off Until Tomorrow lyrics - Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton
Put it off until tomorrow
Wo-wo
You've hurt me enough today
You say our love is over
That you have found another
You say you're going away
But leave me tomorrow
Wo-wo
You've hurt me enough today
You've hurt me enough today
I can't believe the words you say
But I must accept the fact
You won't be coming back
Oh, stay
Stay just one more day
Loneliness isn't far away
Put it off until tomorrow
Wo-wo
You've hurt me enough today
Put it off until tomorrow
Wo-wo
You've hurt me enough today
You're Gonna Be Sorry lyrics - Dolly Parton
Some day you're gonna want me but I ain't gonna be around
Some day you'll find you miss the kiss that you're forever turnin' down
When you decide you want the love that once you could've had
Well that's gonna be to bad and you're gonna be sorry
You're gonna be sorry for all the dirty deals you've handed me
All the nights you stayed away you wished you'd spent with me
While you were busy makin' out, I was busy makin' plans for checkin' out
And when you find this out, you're gonna be sorry
You'll wake up cryin for me like I've done so many nights for you
You'll walk the floor and you'll call my name but I ain't gonna hear you
You'll curse the night and you'll hate yourself for ever doin' me wrong
But I'm gonna be long gone and you're gonna be sorry
You're gonna be sorry for all the dirty deals you've handed me
All the nights you've stayed away you wished you'd spent with me
While you were busy makin' out, I was busy makin' plans for checkin' out
And when you find I'm gone, you're gonna be sorry
You're gonna be sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry
I Wish I Felt This Way At Home lyrics - Dolly Parton
If I, could be with you forever
My restless heart
Would never want to roam
I've never been loved
The way you love me
I wish I felt this way at home
When you kiss me
It's words without speaking
And I don't believe that
God would call this wrong
Your arms are the refuge
I was seeking
I wish I felt this way at home
But I don't, and I won't
We did all that we could
He and I
We tried hard
But it's just no good
I may never be free
Cause I've no reason
And I don't expect you to wait that long
But I'll say one more time
As I'm leavin'
I wish I felt this way at home
Yes, I wish I felt this way at home
False Eyelashes lyrics - Dolly Parton
Folks back home think I'm a star now when they hear my records play
They say there home town girl made good and she'd go a long long way
Mom wonders why I don't drive back in that big fine car I own
The truth is I don't have a car and I'm ashamed to go back home
A pair of false eye lashes and a tube of cheap lipstick
A pair of worn out high heel shoes and a dress doesn't fit
These are all my possessions all I have to my name
And a record played in my home town is my only claim to fame
I'm so glad that dad can't see me now, his favorite little girl
Singing in this dingy place on the wrong side of the world
And I'm glad that I can't see the boy that offered me his name
For I was blind and turned from him in this empty search for fame
A pair of false eye lashes and a tube of cheap lipstick
A pair of worn out high heel shoes and a dress doesn't fit
These are all of my possessions, all I have to my name
And a record played in my home town is my only claim to fame
Yes a record played in my home town is my only claim to fame
I'll Oil Wells Love You lyrics - Dolly Parton
I met a man in Texas
And oh, he was so fine
And I said to myself
Self, I'm gonna make him mine
He owned a lot of oil wells and his bank roll sure was healthy
And I new if I married him I'd suddenly be wealthy
Oh I'll oil wells love you
I'll oil wells care
I'll oil wells need you
I want you oil wells dear
Well I never had no money
Not a penny to my name
And I said I'd find a rich man
And I'd love my way to fame
So he took mt in his arms
And I cuddled up real near
The money bug then bit me and I wispered in his ear
Oh, I'll oil wells love you
I'll oil wells care
I'll oil wells need you
I want you oil wells dear
He looked in to my eyes and thought he saw a love light shine
Nearly did he know that that light was dollar signs
Now that we are married there ain't nothin' left to tell
We'll live happily ever after because all is well that ends well
Oh, I'll oil wells love you
I'll oil wells care
I'll oil wells need you
I want you oil wells dear
The Only Way Out (Is To Walk Over Me) lyrics - Dolly Parton
The only way out
Is to walk over me
So you found someone else
And you're going to leave
Did she tell you
I don't love you?
Did you really believe?
On the floor, by the door
I'll be down on me knees
[Chorus:]
Cause the only way out
Is to walk over me
You don't hear and you don't feel
But i know you can see
And just to prove that i love you,
I'll crawl at your feet
Just look down, at the ground
Where your footprints will be
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
You have put me
Just as low
As anyone ought to go
But i'll lay down beside
What's left of my pride
If you go, then you'll
Know, cause you can't help
But see that
The only way out is to walk
Over me
[Bridge]
Yes the only way out
Is to walk over me
Little Bit Slow To Catch On lyrics - Dolly Parton
I'm a little bit slow to catch on
But when I do, I'm caught on
A little bit slow to move on
But your baby is a' movin' on, on
Your baby is a' movin' on
Well, I couldn't see the light for the brightness
Of the sweet little smile you gave me
I couldn't see how you were cheatin' on me
But finally I'm a catchin' on, on
Finally, I'm a' catchin' on
I'm a little bit slow to catch on
But when I do, I'm caught on
A little bit slow to move on
But your baby is a' movin' on, on
Your baby is a' movin' on
I couldn't see the hurt for the happy
And at first that's the way you made me
It took me a while to get your style
But finally I'm a' catchin' on, on
Finally I'm a' catchin' on
I'm a little bit slow to catch on
But when I do, I'm caught on
A little bit slow to move on
But your baby is a' movin' on, on
Your baby is a' movin' on
You say you can't see the light for the darkness
That surrounds you since I'm gone
You can't eat or sleep 'cause you're lonely
Well, finally you're catchin' on, on
Finally you're a' catchin' on
I'm a little bit slow to catch on
But when I do, I'm caught on
A little bit slow to move on
But your baby is a' movin' on, on
Your baby is a' movin' on
I'm a little bit slow to catch on
But when I do, I'm a caught on
A little bit slow to move on
But your baby is a' movin' on, on
Your baby is a' movin' on
The Bridge lyrics - Dolly Parton
The bridge, so high
The bridge, so tall
Here is where it started
On the bridge
The moon is big and yellow
And the stars are all a' glow
From the bridge, I see reflections
In the waters far below
You kissed me for the first time here
An' held me awfully tight
And the bridge became our favorite place
We came here often in the night
And one night while standing on the bridge
Desire swept through us both
Passion took us by the hand
And showed us where to go
From the bridge we saw a meadow
So we ran together there
Where we found love together
Our emotions filled the air
The bridge, so wide
The bridge, so long
Where once we stood together
Tonight I stand alone
Tonight, while standing on the bridge
My heart is beating wild
To think that you could leave me here
With our unborn child
My feet are moving slowly
Closer to the edge
Here is where it started
And here is where I'll end it...
Love And Learn lyrics - Dolly Parton
That's the way love is, you have to love and learn
I've lost again
Why can't I win?
These tears that I cry
Make my eyes burn
Each new love I find
Turns out to be the wrong kind
And it looks like I'll
Just have to love and learn
Love and learn
Hurt and yearn
For someone who will
Love me in return
I'll be hurt many times
Before the right one, I find
But that's the way love is
You have to love and learn
Love and learn
Just hurt and yearn
For someone
Who will love me in return
I'll be hurt many times
Before the right one, I find
But that's the way love is
You have to love and learn
Yes, that's the way love is
You have to love and learn
I'm Running Out Of Love lyrics - Dolly Parton
I'm running out of love and I'm running out of patience
You seem to get worse every day
I'm running out of love, better learn to resist temptation
Or someday you'll wake up and I'll be far away
How long did you think you could keep on doing me wrong
How long did you think I'd stay quiet and take it
The love I had for you is almost gone
And I ain't gonna let you take my heart and break it
I'm running out of love and I'm running out of patience
You seem to get worse every day
I'm running out of love, better learn to resist temptation
Or someday you'll wake up and I'll be far away
You come and go just any time you want to
And you never bother to tell me where your going
And I wonder if there's anything you don't do
Someday you'll pay for the wild seed your sewing
I'm running out of love and I'm running out of patience
You seem to get worse every day
I'm running out of love, better learn to resist temptation
Or someday you'll wake up and I'll be far away
Just Because I'm A Woman lyrics - Dolly Parton
I can see you're disappointed
By the way you look at me
And I'm sorry that I'm not
The woman you thought I'd be
Yes, I've made my mistakes
But listen and understand
My mistakes are no worse than yours
Just because I'm a woman
So when you look at me
Don't feel sorry for yourself
Just think of all the shame
You might have brought somebody else
Just let me tell you this
Then we'll both know where we stand
My mistakes are no worse than yours
Just because I'm a woman
Now a man will take a good girl
And he'll ruin her reputation
But when he wants to marry
Well, that's a different situation
He'll just walk off and leave her
To do the best she can
While he looks for an angel
To wear his wedding band
Now I know that I'm no angel
If that's what you thought you'd found
I was just the victim of
A man that let me down
Yes, I've made my mistakes
But listen and understand
My mistakes are no worse than yours
Just because I'm a woman
No, my mistakes are no worse than yours
Just because I'm a woman
Baby Sister lyrics - Dolly Parton
Baby sister what a waste to see you in this place
I lose my mind from worrying over you
In a bar room filled with people all higher than a steeple
But I know why you do the things you do
And I curse the man that made you what you are today
I hope he dies a thousand times a thousand ways
Your eyes are filled with tears, sis lets get out of here
Cause I love you baby sister, lets go home
And I curse the man that made you what you are today
I hope he dies a thousand times a thousand ways
Your eyes are filled with tears, sis lets get out of here
Cause I love you baby sister, lets go home
Cause I love you baby sister, lets go home
Try Being Lonely lyrics - Dolly Parton
Suppose you wanted someone the way I want you
Just imagine your body, mind and soul breaking in two
Walk the floor each night, shed tears you can't conceal
Just try being lonely, then you'll know just how I feel
I saw you with your new love and oh it hurt me so
Funny how I see your face everywhere I go
You smiled and looked to be so happy as you passed by
So I hurried around the corner so you wouldn't see me cry
Suppose you wanted someone the way I want you
Just imagine your body, mind and soul breaking in too
Walk the floor each night, shed tears you can't conceal
Just try being lonely, then you know just how I feel
Just try being lonely, then you know just how I feel
