You're probably having second thoughts about me
You've got a right to know just how I feel
And I know you're tired of wondering if I really love you
And I bet you're wondering if I always will
Well I never was much for saying what I had to say
But starting now I'm changing my ways
I love you like a banker loves money, like a bee loves honey, like a hog loves slop
I love you and I'll never stop
I need you like a fish needs water, like clay needs a potter, like a farmer needs crop
I need you and I'll never stop
This song is probably more than you expected
The kind of thing you never thought you'd hear
And I know what you're thinking, it's too good to be true
But Honey pie I really am sincere
Well I never was much for being a romantic kind of guy
But starting now I'm really gonna try
I love you like a banker loves money, like a bee loves honey, like a hog loves slop
I love you and I'll never stop
I need you like a fish needs water, like clay needs a potter, like a farmer needs crop
I need you and I'll never stop
I love you like a horse loves oats, I love you like a mayor loves votes
I love you like a dog loves a bone, I love you like a teenage girl loves the telephone
I need you like a teacher needs a class, I need you like a car needs gas
I love you like a woman loves to shop, I love you and I'll never stop
Well I never was much for saying what I had to say
But starting now I'm changing my ways
I love you like a banker loves money, like a bee loves honey, like a hog loves slop
I love you and I'll never stop
I need you like a fish needs water, like clay needs a potter, like a farmer needs crop
I need you and I'll never stop

All my life I’m holding out for true love
Holding out for someone I adore
Now that I’ve found you I’m never gonna let you go
You are the one I’ve waited for, oh Baby
Gonna show you honey, one day at a time
Prove to you that you’re the only one
It might take a while; tell you what I’ll do
I’m gonna spend the rest of my life, lovin’ you up
Lovin’ you up
Sometimes I think I must be dreaming
Can’t believe my heart could be this true
No one could ever mean so much to me
Girl I swear my whole world is you, oh Baby
Gonna show you honey, one day at a time
Prove to you that you’re the only one
It might take a while; tell you what I’ll do
I’m gonna spend the rest of my life, lovin’ you up
Lovin’ you up
Now that I’ve found you I’m never gonna let you go
You are the one I’ve waited for, oh Baby
Gonna show you honey, one day at a time
Prove to you that you’re the only one
It might take a while; tell you what I’ll do
I’m gonna spend the rest of my life, lovin’ you up
Lovin’ you up

I can see the plans I made just crumble to the ground again
and nothing I can do will make it right
Differences sometimes break what took a lot of years to make
Those memories won’t go away if you walk out that door today
You said I do and I did too, now what’s become of me and you
If we can’t love why do we have to fight
Well, if you don’t want it anymore then this is it but be assured
I can make it through the pain of never holding you again
My rivers run so deep to where my heart gets broken
But somehow I always make it through
I’ll just take these dreams on down the road a long way
Where I hope I never find another you
I’ve been down this road before, I gave it all and then some more
And this time I’ve done more than I can do
My life is like an ancient tale told time again to no avail
Pieces of my history keep coming back and haunting me
(Randall Lee Anderson)
Your love made a change in me when you came along
I'm twice the man I used to be, but now something's gone wrong
I try to tell myself that everything's all right
It's just a phase we're going through
But I can't convince myself, I want to hear it from you
Tell me I'm wrong, and that you're not leaving
Tell me I'm crazy, you're still in love with me
I don't need to be right, and I don't want to fight
It just feels like your love is gone
So just hold me tight, and tell me I'm wrong
Your love is the miracle I never thought I would find
And when you're away from me, I'm out of my mind
And it's killing me to think it might be over
I'd have to go on without you somehow
But I don't have to have my way, and I'm listening now
Tell me I'm wrong, and that you're not leaving
Tell me I'm crazy, you're still in love with me
I don't need to be right, and I don't want to fight
It just feels like your love is gone
So just hold me tight, and tell me I'm wrong
So just hold me tight, and tell me I'm wrong
(Randall Lee Anderson)
Well that’s one morning down since my Baby’s gone
One morning down since my baby’s gone
I thought she’d never leave me, I was wrong
It’s the hardest thing I’ve done, watching her go
The hardest thing I’ve ever done is watching her go
I’ve got one morning down Lord knows how many more to go
Somehow I found the strength to get up and get out of bed
When tomorrow comes I’ll just have to do it again
One morning down since my baby’s gone
I swore she’d never leave me, I was wrong
It’s the hardest thing I’ve done, watching her go
The hardest thing I’ve ever done is watching her go
I’ve got one morning down Lord knows how many more to go
Somehow I found the strength to get up and get out of bed
When tomorrow comes I’ll just have to do it again
One morning down since my baby’s gone
I swore she’d never leave me, I was wrong
I swore she’d never leave me, I was wrong
(Matt Dorman)
I was standing on the edge of desperation
Staring at the broken hearts below
I was trying to assess the situation
When she appeared from somewhere I don’t know
She took me by the hand and said “Don’t do it”
There ain’t nothing worth what you are thinking of
It ain’t never too late to get some schoolin’ in
And honey I can show you how to love
Goodbye cruel world Hello cloud nine
No more standing in love’s unemployment line
Ever since the first time my sweet angel took me to heaven above
Goodbye cruel world hello true love
Don’t get me wrong now my life wasn’t’ over
I can stand my ground when push comes to shove
I wasn’t’ thinking ‘bout giving up on getting older
I was thinking about giving up on love
Goodbye cruel world Hello cloud nine
No more standing in love’s unemployment line
Ever since the first time my sweet angel took me to heaven above
Goodbye cruel world hello true love

The boy said dad, I haven’t done things right
But I’m sure glad to see you here tonight
I know it’s killing you to visit me behind these prison walls
If I could turn back time, I wouldn’t be here at all
The girl said dad, it’s me, can I come home
I’m somewhere in a phone booth, cold and all alone
I don’t know why I ran away, but I’m glad you took my call
If I could turn back time, I wouldn’t be here at all
Time is like water rushing under a bridge
There’s no turning it back, but that’s ok
‘Cause the love that a father has for his child
Is strong enough to wash the past away
I said oh Lord, I haven’t done things right
And I’m on my knees calling to you tonight
I didn’t know how much I needed you until I took a fall
If I could turn back time, I wouldn’t be here at all
(Randall Lee Anderson)
Girl I'd have never believed the way and how easily you just threw our love away
There must have been a side of you that I had never seen
Now I see it all real clear you were entirely someone else when you weren't here
You kept me believing in love by saying things you didn't mean
Why did you have to lead me on
Wasn't it you who talked about forever
Wasn't it you who promised me the moon
When I gave my heart to someone and swore my love was true
Oh Baby, wasn't it you
How could I have been so blind not to see there were two of you inside one mind
One of you was gentle and loving and the other was wild and free
You always played the part so well and when we made love it was impossible to tell
That I was only holding part of you 'cause you gave your love so willingly
But who was I loving all along
Wasn't it you who talked about forever
Wasn't it you who promised me the moon
When I gave my heart to someone and swore my love was true
Oh Baby, wasn't it you
Is there a part of you, a part of you that's still in love with me
Could I change your mind, or am I just dreaming
When I gave my heart to someone and swore my love was true
Oh Baby, wasn't it you
Oh Baby, wasn't it you
(Randall Lee Anderson/Betty K. Miller)
Five miles out of Memphis, She wants to turn the car around
She’s thinking about going back to old familiar ground
But her mind keeps replaying scenes from their last fight
This time he was crying too, She speeds in into the night
There she was at the great divide
Holding on to the wheel and what’s left of her pride
Though tears were falling on either side
She still crossed over the great divide
Five miles from Grand Junction she calls to tell him she’s OK
Though he said he missed her he didn’t have much else to say
As she drove on through the Rockies she couldn’t stop thinking of him
Oh they had some good times too, and she was crying once again
There she was at the great divide
Holding on to the wheel and what’s left of her pride
Though tears were falling on either side
She still crossed over the great divide
Though tears will fall on either side
She still crossed over the great divide
(Matt Dorman/Randall Lee Anderson)
Sittin’ on the front porch, grandpa and me
I was seventeen, he was seventy three
We were having a talk about love and life
When he gave me some fatherly advice, he said
Love will find you, no need to go and look
And all of life’s secrets are in the good book
Like a speeding locomotive time will pass you buy
So make every moment count as you’re going through life
Don’t love money, it ain’t worth the hassle
And never play house in another man’s castle
Ten years later I was talking to a friend
He was having an affair with a married woman
I could hear my grandpa talking as I looked him in the eye
And I gave him some brotherly advice, I said
Love will find you, no need to go and look
And all of life’s secrets are in the good book
Like a speeding locomotive time will pass you buy
So make every moment count as you’re going through life
Don’t love money, it ain’t worth the hassle
And never play house in another man’s castle
Oh, love’s a precious thing, and if you treat it with respect
You won’t want for anything
(Randall Lee Anderson)
Excuse me for staring but you remind me of someone
I fell in love with a long time ago
She had your eyes and that same pretty smile
And I loved her more than she’ll ever know
Well I know I’m a stranger and I probably should go
But there’s something I’m dying to know
Could you put my heart back together
Could you take away some of my pain
Could you hold me tonight and just for a while
Help me forget about Lorraine
I’m sorry for laying my troubles on you
It’s goanna take some time before I’m all right
But if you’re willing to try I’m sure you could help me
To get over her starting tonight
I’m not asking for love or intimacy
I just need some good company
Could you put my heart back together
Could you take away some of my pain
Could you hold me tonight and just for a while
Help me forget about Lorraine
