(Roy Kitson)

Well, I know where you're going and who's gonna meet you there
I know how late you'll be coming home but guess who doesn't care
Tonight I'll step out too and since I won't be here
Happy Birthday, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

My best wishes may be early but I'm not sticking around
To bake a cake for your birthday while you're out runnin' around
She can help you celebrate may she bring you lots of cheer
Happy Birthday, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Now I've made my mind up late second's long enough
You think I don't mean it so you're gonna call my bluff
But I'll be busy packing while you're holding her near
Happy Birthday, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

My best wishes may be early but I'm not sticking around
To bake a cake for your birthday while you're out runnin' around
She can help you celebrate may she bring you lots of cheer
Happy Birthday, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Happy Birthdaym Merry Christmas and Happy, Happy New Year...

Here I am a doing things I said I'd never do
But that's before my baby said we're through
It was on that tragic day the hurtin' got its start
That's how it is when lonely hits your heart.

I've become a fallen girl for the love of a man
The same old thing goes on and on it's more than I can stand
To him it just don't matter but it's tearing me apart
That's how it is when lonely hits your heart.

--- Instrumental ---

I spent my nights a crying while he was running round
My heart was the first place lonely found
I don't think I'll forget him I can't begin to start
That's how it is when lonely hits your heart.

I've become a fallen girl for the love of a man
The same old thing goes on and on it's more than I can stand
To him it just don't matter but it's tearing me apart
That's how it is when lonely hits your heart...

You say that I'm no angel
Oh, I know it much too well
How can you look into my eyes
And ask me why I failed.

You know that I still love you
And I let you drag me down
How can you talk about me
When you've made me what I am.

You've made me what I am
But look who everybody blames
When you know you're the reason
I hang my head in shame.

Oh, you tell me to forget you
And to stop my hanging round
I'd be ashamed if I were you
You've made me what I am.

--- Instrumental ---

You never really loved me
But I found that out too late
I've tried to find the way to change
My love for you to hate.

You act like you don't know me
When there's someone else around
How can you hold your head up
When you've made me what I am.

You've made me what I am
But look who everybody blames
When you know you're the reason
I hang my head in shame.

Oh, you tell me to forget you
And to stop my hanging round
I'd be ashamed if I were you
You've made me what I am...

When you found somebody new I thought I never would
Forget you for I thought then I never could
But time has taken all the pains away
Until now I'm down to hurtin' once a day.

Once a day, all day long
And once a night from dusk till dawn
The only time I wish you weren't gone
Is once a day, every day, all day long.

--- Instrumental ---

I'm so glad that I'm not like a girl I knew one time
She lost the one she loved then slowly lost her mind
She sat around and cried her life away
Oh, lucky me I'm only cryin' once a day.

Once a day all day long
And once a night from dusk till dawn
The only time I wish you weren't gone
Is once a day, every day, all day long.

Once a day, every day, all day long...

Are you thinking that I don't care for you
Could it be you believe that I've been untrue
Oh listen sweetheart it just cannot be
For you're the only good thing that happened to me.

We've had our ups and downs like all lovers do
But you know in your heart that I worship you
So don't ever think of setting me free
For you're the only good thing that happened to me.

--- Instrumental ---

If you ever should think that I don't love you
That I'm not satisfied with the things that you do
I want you to know and please understand
There's nothing in this world worth the touch of your hand.

We've had our ups and downs like all lovers do
But you know in your heart that I worship you
So don't ever think of setting me free
For you're the only good thing that happened to me...

No, I'm not crying
It just looks that way
He thinks his leaving me
Will drive me mad
Silly boy, he's the smallest
Hurt I've had.

These ain't tears I'm standing in
It rains today
No I'm not crying
It just looks that way

No, I'm not crying
It just looks that way
I convince my heart I'm happy
And make believe everything I say

He thinks he left me lonesome
And hurtin' every day
Oh, but I'm not crying
It just looks that way.

--- Instrumental ---

No, I'm not crying
It just looks that way
I convince my heart I'm happy
And make believe everything I say

He thinks he left me lonesome
And hurtin' every day
Oh, but I'm not crying
It just looks that way.

Oh, but I'm not crying
It just looks that way...

I don't believe I'll fall in love today
Fond memories of you stand in the way
I just can't make my heart find someone new
It's always much too busy loving you.

Each night I pray I'll wake at dawn
And find another in my heart and on my mind
Then I'll wake and I'll hear my poor heart say
I don't believe I'll fall in love today.

--- Instrumental ---

I don't believe I'll fall in love today
For if I did I'm sure I wouldn't stay
You'd come between us like you always do
Somehow he'd never measure up to you.

Each night I pray I'll wake at dawn
And find another in my heart and on my mind
Then I'll wake and I'll hear my poor heart say
I don't believe I'll fall in love today...

I don't love you like I used to do
But I'm afraid to tell you so
'Cause I've got half a mind to leave you
But only half the heart to go.

Now, words to tell you just don't come to me
I guess my courage is too slow
'Cause I've got half a mind to leave you
But only half the heart to go.

--- Instrumental ---

Now, time may prove that you are not to blame
But nows the time I need to know
'Cause I've got half a mind to leave you
But only half the heart to go.

Yes, I've got half a mind to leave you
But only half the heart to go...

(Don Gibson)

Everybody's going out and having fun
I'm just a fool for staying home and having none
I can't get over how he set, set me free
Oh, lonesome me.

A bad mistake I'm making by just hanging round
I know that I should have some fun and paint the town
A lovesick fool is blind and just can't see
Oh, lonesome me.

Well, I'll bet he's not like me, he's out and fancy free
Flirtin' with the girls with all his charms
Oh, but I still love him so and brother don't you know
I'd welcome him right back here in my arms.

There must be some way I can lose these lonesome blues
Forget about the past and find somebody new
I've thought of everything from A to Z
Oh, lonesome me.

--- Instrumental ---

Well I'll bet he's not like me, he's out and fancy free
Flirtin' with the girls with all his charms
Oh, but I still love him so and brother don't you know
I'd welcome him right back here in my arms.

There must be some way I can lose these lonesome blues
Forget about the past and find somebody new
I've thought of everything from A to Z
Oh, lonesome me.

Oh, lonesome me.
Oh, lonesome me...

There's a jukebox in my ear
Playing so loud I can hardly hear
It's tellin' a story about a boy like you
And each selection that I make
Tells me how my heart will break
For falling in love with a boy like you.

Though it's just an old machine
Without a heart, but oh, so mean
It says I probably spend my whole life feeling blue
So I'll put in one more dime
And play that same song one more time
'Cause I wanna hear about a boy like you.

--- Instrumental ---

Though it's just an old machine
Without a heart, but oh, so mean
It says I probably spend my whole life feeling blue
I know that I should go on home
But I can't stand to be alone
'Cause I always dream about a boy like you.

Yes, I always dream about a boy like you...

Last night I dreamed about you and morning brought no change
I'll spend this whole day crying with that usual thing
Right now I can't remember the last time that I smiled
But I'll stop loving you when dreams go out of style.

I know you think I'm crazy you don't feel the way I do
But still I'll keep on hoping that my dreams will come true
My heart won't let me give up my thoughts keep running wild
But I'll stop loving you when dreams go out of style.

--- Instrumental ---

It's gotten so here lately I hear you call my name
Each night I wake up dreaming it's drivin' me insane
Friends tell me I'll get better but that will take awhile
I'll still be loving you when dreams go out of style.

I'll still be loving you when dreams go out of style...

Have you found since you turned me down
The one that you've been searching for
Are you glad that you made me sad
For you know you vowed to love me ever more.

What did you have in mind when you broke this heart of mine
Are you laughing in my face
Tell me what can I do when you say that we are through
You've left a wound time can't erase.

--- Instrumental ---

Tell me dear are you satisfied
To be foot loose and fancy free
Is it power you want for the things that you have done
What you've gained I guess I'll never see.

What did you have in mind when you broke this heart of mine
Are you laughing in my face
Tell me what can I do when you say that we are through
You've left a wound time can't erase...
