��� I burn with desire each time my heart fans the fire,� To that old flame that burns inside of me, She cried when I left her, now I cry to forget her. Oh, how foolish I was to ever want to leave.

��� Chorus:

��� Cause nobody in his right mind would've left her. I had to be crazy to say goodbye. Nobody in his right mind would've left her. Even my heart was smart enough to stay behind. I still carry her picture; I wish her well With the new love I know she's found by now. Each night finds me dreamin?, each day I spend thinkin? How much I wish she was still around.

��� Chorus:

��� Cause nobody in his right mind would've left her. I had to be crazy to say goodbye. Nobody in his right mind would've left her. Even my heart was smart enough to stay behind. I still carry her picture; I wish her well With the new love I know she's found by now. Each night finds me dreamin?, each day I spend thinkin? How much I wish she was still around.

Even my heart was smart enough to stay behind.

OCEAN FRONT PROPERTY

�

� � If you leave me, I won't miss you, And I won't ever take you back. Girl, your mem?ry won't ever haunt me, 'Cause I don't love you, and now if you'll buy that.

Chorus:

��� I got some ocean front property in Arizona. From my front porch you can see the sea.� I got some ocean front property in Arizona.� If you'll buy that, I'll throw the golden gate in free.

��� I don't worship the ground you walk on. I never have and that's a fact. I won't follow or try to find you, 'Cause I don't love you, and now if you'll buy that.

�� I heard somebody speak her name; they said she still was looking fine. And I could feel that same old flame I once felt when she was mine. Always thought that I was missin' something, But I found out much too late. There'll never be another who'll love me that way.

��� Chorus:

��� I'd like to have that one back, never known someone so true. And a love that 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. But now I find my poor heart saying, "I'd like to have that one back."

��� I can almost see her standing there, tears rollin' down her face. As she packed away her memories in that old worn out suitcase. If I'd only known then what I know now, I'd never opened that door. Oh they just don't make hearts like hers anymore.

��� I'd like to have that one back, I've never known someone so true. And a love so 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. I wouldn't hear my poor heart saying, "I'd like to have that one back."

�

I wouldn't hear my poor heart saying, "I'd like to have that one back."

�� 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.

��� Chorus:

��� 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.

Chorus:

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

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

��� 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.

��� Pardon me, you left your tears on the jukebox, And I'm afraid they got mixed up with mine. I don't mean to pry, It's just that I noticed you going out of your mind, Looks like we're two of a kind.

��� Chorus:

��� Let's fall to pieces together. Why should we both fall apart? Let's fall to pieces together Right here in each other's arms.

��� Alone is much better together, And the worst is still yet to come. So let's share the rest of the tears That are left from two hearts that just came undone. Why should we go crazy alone?

Let's fall to pieces together Right here in each other's arms.

��� I know that I surprised you coming home, It's not my usual time of year; but I've got myself a problem, And I know that I might find the answer here. Remember when I was dad's pride and joy and your little man, Every time that I got hurt you were there to give a hand. You would pick me up, and you'd kiss my hurt away. Remember what you'd say, "Boy you're getting more like him each and every day." Can we have a talk like it was yesterday?

��� Your boy is back in trouble and he needs you right away. She says she's gonna leave me, momma. Nothing on God's green Earth would make her stay.

��� I can't live without her, momma, But this time you can't kiss the hurt away. But if I'm so much like my dad, There must have been times you felt her way,So tell me word for word what he said that always made you stay.

�

She says she's gonna leave me, momma. But if I'm so much like my dad, There must have been times you felt her way. So tell me word for word what he said That always made you stay.

��� Well her old friend, from her own end of town dropped by today, And way down deep inside me something died When he came 'round to see her that way. Here it comes again, that same old chilly wind Will blow like a cold winter squall. And I'll begin to feel the chill of an early fall. And I'll be drinking again and thinking whenever he calls, There's a storm coming on, it won't be too long till the snow falls. Oh I'll be sobersome, But when October comes and goes and no time at all I'll begin to feel the chill of an early fall. Oh how quick they slip away, here today and gone tomorrow. Love and seasons never stay, bitter winds are sure to follow. Now there's no doubt, it's gonna be cold out tonight; I've shivered all day, and when I look in her eyes Needing to hold her so tight, she just looks away. Oh she'll swear that it's true, he's just someone she knew,Long ago, and I'll know that's not all, And I'll begin to feel the chill of an early fall.

��� We both said some things I know we never meant, And when I slammed the door tonight you wondered where I went. If I know you, you're probably wonderin' what to do. You're thinkin' that I'm gone for good, if I know you.

��� Chorus:

��� But if I know me, I'll turn this car around. I won't get halfway through town, and I'll be sorry. I'll stop and call, and you'll say you're sorry too, And I'll come runnin' back to you, if I know me.

��� Sometimes I lose my head, say things to break your heart, Forgettin' if I lost your love, it would tear my world apart. If I know you, you didn't mean one single thing you said. Truth be known, you're dyin?, cryin', lyin? there in bed.

If I know me, and I know me.

��� When did you stop lovin? me? How long have I been a memory? I've got to know for my own sanity. Tell me when did you stop lovin? me? Was it that night that you stayed out until dawn? You know that night has haunted me for so long. Or was your love already cold? Tell me please I got to know. Darlin' when did you stop lovin? me? There was a time when you worshipped where I stood. Heaven knows I'd bring it back if I could. Now I can tell when we make love, It ain't me you're thinkin? of. Tell me when did you stop lovin? me?

Darlin', when did you stop lovin? me?

�� ��� Oh how you sparkle, and oh how you shine. That flush on your cheeks is more than the wine. And he must do something that I didn't do. Whatever he's doing, it looks good on you.

��� Chorus:

��� You look so good in love. You want him, that's easy to see. You look so good in love. And I wish you still wanted me.

�

��� He must have stolen some stars from the sky, And gave them to you to wear in your eyes. I had my chances, but I set you free. And now I wonder why I couldn't see.

Chorus:

��� You look so good in love. You want him, that's easy to see. You look so good in love. And I wish you still wanted me

��� Darling I've wasted a lot of years not seeing the real you, But tonight your beauty is shining through. And I never took the time to let you know,So before he takes you away please let me say.

��� You look so good in love. You want him, that's easy to see. You look so good in love. And I wish you still wanted me

You look so good in love.

FOOL HEARTED MEMORY

��� Nickels and dimes, memories and wines - she's on his mind once again. The same old stool, the same old fool; played by the rules, but didn't win. There's an old love in his heart that he can't lose. He tried forgettin', but he knows that it's no use.

��� Chorus:

��� He's got a fool hearted memory. It won't let him see that she walked out the door. He's got a fool hearted memory, And he sits patiently here every night so it can fool him more.

��� She was his girl, his only whirl, that string of pearls that slipped away. A thousand dimes, a thousand times - he doesn't mind what they say. He fills the jukebox, and plays the same old song. He fills his glass, and then he turns her memory on.

��� Chorus:

��� He's got a fool hearted memory. It won't let him see that she walked out the door. He's got a fool hearted memory, And he sits patiently here every night so it can fool him more.

��� But it's a fool hearted memory. It won't let him see that she walked out the door. He's got a fool hearted memory. And he sits patiently here every night so it can fool him more.He's got a fool hearted memory. It won't let him see that she walked out the door.

��� She sparkles, she dazzles, she lights up the room, We walk together to a table for two, Every man stares but her eyes are only for me We take to the dance floor, she squeezes my hand,I can't believe just how lucky I am.

��� Meanwhile back in the back of my memory, You're still dancing with me,And I'm holding you once again���� ...Meanwhile

�

��� We move to the end of a beautiful night, Tender the kisses, soft candle light, She draws the curtains, slowly we climb up the stairs, And reach for each other the passion begins We fall together as lovers and then...

��� Meanwhile back in the back of my memory, You're still lying with me and I'm holding you once again,

��� I try and I try, the Lord knows I do, But each time my heart beats back to you

��� Meanwhile I'll go on living my life now, I'll find a way somehow, Oh but meanwhile back in the back of my memory You'll always be with me but I'll never hold you again

�

�

��� I don't take my whiskey to extremes, Don't believe in chasin ' crazy dreams,My feet are planted firmly on the ground,But darlin' when you come around...

��� Chorus:

��� I get carried away by the look by the light in your eyes, Before I even realize the ride I'm on baby I'm long gone,I get carried away nothin' matters but bein' with you, Like a feather flyin' high up in the sky on a windy day, I get carried away.

��� It might seem like an ordinary night, Same ol' stars, the same ol' moon up high, But when I see you standin' at your door, Nothin's ordinary anymore.

��� She looked so much like a lady, but she was so much like a child. A devil when she held me close, an angel when she smiled. She always held it deep inside, but somehow I always knew, She'd go away when the grass turned green, And the sky turned baby blue.

��� Chorus:

��� And baby blue was the color of her eyes. Baby blue like the Colorado skies. Like a breath of spring, she came and left, And I still don't know why, So here's to you and whoever holds my baby blue tonight.

�

She brought colors to my life that my eyes had never touched. And when she taught me how to care, I never cared so much. I try not to think of her, but I fall asleep and do, And drift off where the grass is green and the sky is baby blue.

��� I told her I wouldn't miss her at all as she walked to the door. I couldn't care less if she didn't care anymore. And with tears in my eyes I lied I was glad we were through, As she drove away crying at the famous last words of a fool.

��� Chorus:

Famous last words of a fool, famous last words of a fool. "You won't break my heart," and "I don't love you." Famous last words of a fool.

��� The first night without her would be easy I kept telling myself. All the while dyin' at the thought of her lyin? somewhere else. And there'll be nothing to it, I'll easily find someone new, As my breakin' heart echoed the famous last words of a fool.

�

"You won't break my heart," and "I don't love you." � Famous last words of a fool.

��� What a rotten day this turned out to be. I still can't believe she'd leave so easily. She just got all her things, threw ?em into a pile, Then she loaded her car and said after a while,She'd done this before, but this time she didn't cry.

Chorus:

��� That's why I'm sittin' on the front steps, Staring down the road, wond?rin' if she'll come back - This time I don't know. After she packed, when she looked back, There were no tears in her eyes, And that's got me worried thinking Maybe my baby's gotten good at goodbye.

��� All the times before she'd break down and cry. She'd make her threats, but her heart wasn't set on goodbye. She just wanted me to hear what she had to say,Now I'm lost for words, since she went away. She may not return for this time she didn't cry.

��� What's going on in your world? I hope that you're doing fine. I just called to say there's not a day that you don't cross my mind. I just wanted to see if you feel like me - sorry that we said goodbye. So what's going on in your world? It sure is lonesome in mine.

��� Chorus:

��� Just tell me that you're happy and I'll hang up the phone. Just tell me you don't need me anymore and I'll leave you alone. I just wondered if you had somebody new after all of this time.So what's going on in your world? It sure is lonesome in mine.
