mad I never knew what I had Until I threw it all away
Love is all there is, it makes the
world go 'round Love and only love, it can't be denied No
matter what you think about it You just won't be able to do
without it Take a tip from one who's tried
So if you find someone that gives you
all of her love Take it to your heart, don't let it stray For
one thing that's certain You will surely be a-hurtin' If you
throw it all away If you throw it all away

the woman in you that makes you want to play this game.
Hello
ruby in the dust Has your band begun to rust After all the
sin we've had I was hopin' that we'd turn bad Old enough
now to change your name When so many love you is it the
same It's the woman in you that makes you want to play this
game.
Hello woman of my dreams This is not the way it
seems Purple words on a grey background To be a woman and
to be turned down Old enough now to change your name When so
many love you is it the same It's the woman in you that
makes you want to play this game.

can No matter how I try I find my way to do the same old jam
Good times, bad times You know I had
my share When my woman left home With a brown eyed man Well,
I still don't seem to care
Sixteen I fell in love With a girl
as sweet as could be Only took a couple of days Till she was
rid of me She swore that she would be all mine And love me till
the end When I whispered in her ear I lost another friend
Good times, bad times You know I had
my share When my woman left home With a brown eyed man Well,
I still don't seem to care
Good times, bad times You know I had
my share When my woman left home With a brown eyed man Well,
I still don't seem to care
I know what it means to be alone I
sure do wish I was at home I don't care what the neighbors say I'm
gonna love you each and every day You can feel the beat within my
heart Realize, sweet babe, we ain't ever gonna part

I'm alone with you
To be alone with you At the close of
the day With only you in view While evening slips away It
only goes to show That while life's pleasures be few The only
one I know Is when I'm alone with you
They say that nighttime is the right
time To be with the one you love Too many thoughts get in the
way in the day But you're always what I'm thinkin' of I wish
the night were here Bringin' me all of your charms When only
you are near To hold me in your arms
I'll always thank the Lord When my

Jimmy And man, did he look pretty ill We decided that we would
have a soda My favorite flavor, cherry red I sung my song to
Mr. Jimmy Yeah, and he said one word to me, and that was "dead" I
said to him
You can't always get what you want You
can't always get what you want You can't always get what you
want But if you try sometimes you just might find You get what
you need
You get what you need, yeah, oh baby
I saw her today at the reception In
her glass was a bleeding man She was practiced at the art of
deception Well I could tell by her blood-stained hands
You can't always get what you want You
can't always get what you want You can't always get what you
want But if you try sometimes you just might find You just
might find You get what you need
You can't always get what you want You
