Альбом George Strait

At a table for two
With candlelight and wine
That diamond burnin' holes in his pockets
Thinkin' now's the perfect time
When he popped the question he could see
The teardrops fill her eyes
She said I knew this was comin', and I'm sorry
But I hope you realize

Chorus: You can't make a heart love somebody,
You can tell it what to do
But it won't listen at all
You can't make a heart love somebody
You can lead a heart to love
But you can't make it fall.

Then she reached for his hand
And said I want you to know
I've done everything that I know of
To make the feelin' grow
I've begged and I've pleaded with my heart
But there's no gettin' through
My heart's the only part of me
That's not in love with you

You can't make a heart love somebody,
You can tell it what to do
But it won't listen at all
You can't make a heart love somebody
You can lead a heart to love
But you can't make it fall.

You can't make a heart love somebody,
You can tell it what to do
But it won't listen at all
You can't make a heart love somebody
You can lead a heart to love
But you can't make it fall.

You can lead a heart to love
But you can't make it fall.

Chorus:
Adalida, pretty little cajun queen
Sweet dixie flower, the belle of the bayou
You're every young man's dream
Adalida, I'd walk through a hurricane
To stand beside you sweet Adalida
I'd swim the Pontchartrain

Oh no, here you comin' down the road
With your cotton dress a swishin', you gettin' some attention
From all the boys in the Thibodaux

Oh my your really feelin' up their eyes
Smilin' and a winkin', I know what they're thinkin'
But I'm the only one who loves you so!

Repeat Chorus

Oh no, the hottest little dish I know
I know you can tell it, you makin' me so jealous
From my head down to my toes
Oh me you could make a redneck green
The way that you're a lookin', you got me cookin'
And I ain't talkin' 'bout Etoufee'

Yes, I know I'm late gettin' home tonight
Can supper wait, I guess I lost my appetite
Yeah you can fix me a drink, oh anything's okay
Oh, by the way I met a friend of yours today

I was workin' on the other side of town
And comin' home I thought I'd stop and have a round
And in this bar I heard someone speak your name
And that's how I met a friend of yours today

I listened for awhile and I could tell
That that stranger there he knew you much to well
And I introduced myself and you should have seen his face
Oh what a shame I met a friend of yours today

Please don't cry woman 'cause it's much too late for tears
Yeah, I'm sorry too 'cause it hurts after all these years

And ain't it sad a love like ours should end this way
And all because I met a friend of yours today

As the sun sets and you let go
And my dreams go that way too
And I watch the silhouettes flow out of clear view

[chorus]
We can do this thing right
Fix what went wrong
Really make this work
Turn around real slow
Walk straight back to me
Nobody has to get hurt

We can learn from my mistakes now
I don't ask you to forget
But forgive my good intentions and where they went

[chorus]
We can do this thing right
Fix what went wrong
Really make this work
Turn around real slow
Walk straight back to me
Nobody has to get hurt

[chorus]
I'm goin' down Louisiana way
I'm going back as of this very day
Don't worry about me cause I'll be okay
I'm goin' down Louisiana way

I will miss all my old Chicago friends
And think about you San Francisco now and then
I will remember my compadres in L.A.
Look me up down Louisiana way

[chorus]

Don't let your eyes get misty now
We knew the time would come around for me to go
I will miss you

So long friend, quess I'll see you while ago
I might be back sometime, you just never know
I have left a sweetheart north of Whiskey Bay
True love waits down Louisiana way

Without a warning
You're out of control
The ground shakes and the ocean rolls
this is the big one
There's nowhere to run
On the Richter scale of a romance
You hit twelve and you don't stand a chance
This is the big one
I'm falling in love

Chorus:
Now it's beat, beat, beat
My heart's sending out a message
Please, please, please
Don't save me tonight
S.O.S. in this situation means
She's out of sight

No need to panic
I tell myself
But I've never felt this feeling
With anybody else
So, this is the big one
I'm falling in love

Chorus

This is the big one
I'm falling in love

It's six minutes until eleven
The phone rings but it's never you
I won't walk the floor
I'll just watch it
Stood up, impatient, and blue

Chorus:
What am I waiting for?
She might never show
What am I waiting for?
My legs won't let me go
What am I waiting for?
What am I waiting for?
She'll never get here

It's not that I'm worried about her
She'll think of some brand new excuse
So why am I all alone and crazy?
While she's having fun running loose

Chorus

It's six minutes after eleven
But I'm talking about the next day
Our date was just made to be broken
I guess some things just never change

Chorus

What am I waiting for?
What am I waiting for?
What am I waiting for?
She'll never get here

Without a warning
You're out of control
The ground shakes and the ocean rolls
this is the big one
There's nowhere to run
On the Richter scale of a romance
You hit twelve and you don't stand a chance
This is the big one
I'm falling in love

Chorus:
Now it's beat, beat, beat
My heart's sending out a message
Please, please, please
Don't save me tonight
S.O.S. in this situation means
She's out of sight

No need to panic
I tell myself
But I've never felt this feeling
With anybody else
So, this is the big one
I'm falling in love

Chorus

This is the big one
I'm falling in love

You can turn me loose, tear me up and run me down
Cause me shame, drag my name all over town
Makes no difference what you say or what you do
As for me I'll always be lovin' you

[chorus]
My love for you was not built on shifting sands
I made a promise long ago and it still stands
Go on and do what your heart tells you to
As for me I'll always be lovin' you

You can change your dreams, change your heart
or change your mind
And just pretend that it all ends with your goodbye
You can walk out and forget the love we knew
As for me I'll always be lovin' you

I've been to all the ol' familiar places
At least a hundred times
Since you've been gone
I've seen a lot of ol' familiar faces
But again tonight I'm goin' home alone

[chorus]
My heart won't let me love no one but you
My mind keeps tellin' me that just won't do
My arms keep reachin' out for someone new
But my heart won't let me love no one but you

I've told myself a million ttimes, it's over
You've gotta face the truth and let her go
Just when I think I've got it all together
Your memory walks around inside my soul
