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.

Repeat Chorus:

If I know me, and I know me.

Baby, since you left me, there's somebody knew.
She thinks I'm perfect, I swear.
She likes my body, my class and my charm.
She says I've got a confident air.
She respects my ambition, thinks I'm talented too,
But she's in love with an image time is bound to see through.

Chorus:
Oh/But you know me better than that.
You know the me that gets lazy and fat.
How moody I can be, all my insecurities.
You've seen me lose all my charm, you know I was raised on a farm.
Oh, she tells her friends I'm perfect
And that I love her cat, but you know me better than that.

I miss picnics and blue jeans and buckets of beer-
Now it's ballet and symphony hall.
I'm into culture, clean up to my ears;
It's like wearing a shoe that's too small.
Oh I caught her with an issue of Brides magazine,
Starin’ at dresses and pickin’ out rings.

Repeat Chorus:

Oh she tells her friends I'm perfect and that I love that cat,
Oh but you know me better than that.

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.
Oh I'll begin to feel the chill of an early fall.

I got a feeling called the blues oh lord
Since my baby said goodbye.
Hey lord I don't know what I'll do.
All I do is sit and sigh oh lord.

The last long day she said goodbye, Lord I thought I would cry.
She'll do me, she'll do you, she's got that kind of lovin'.
Lord I love to hear her when she calls me sweet daddy.
Such a beautiful dream.

I hate to think it's all over; I lost my heart it seems.
I've grown so used to you somehow,
But I'm nobody's sugar daddy now.
And I'm lonesome, I got the lovesick blues.

Yeah I'm in love, I'm in love with a beautiful girl,
That's what's the matter with me.
Yeah I'm in love, I'm in love with a beautiful girl,
But she don't care about me.

And lord I tried and tried to keep her satisfied,
But that girl wouldn't stay.
And now that she is leavin' this is all I can say.
I got a feeling called the blues...

Well I haven't seen her lately, and she never calls.
She don't ask my friends about me, gives no clues at all.
Well the fire might still be burnin' yeah,
But I'd say she's about as gone as a girl can get.

She don't even show up in my dreams at night,
But my stubborn ol' memory keeps holdin' on tight.
Sure makes it hard to forget
She's about as gone as a girl can get.

Chorus:
She's outta here, she disappeared without a trace.
More or less unimpressed by the tears on my face.
Her destination unknown, she just dropped out of sight,
Last seen headin' right on out of my life.
Like a stranger I ain't never met,
She's about as gone as a girl can get,

Repeat Chorus:

Like a stranger I ain't never met,
I'd say she's about as gone as a girl can get.

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.

Our love is unconditional, we knew it from the start.
I see it in your eyes, you can feel it from my heart.
From here on after let's stay the way we are right now,
And share all the love and laughter that a lifetime will allow.

Chorus:
I cross my heart and promise to
Give all I've got to give to make all your dreams come true.
In all the world you'll never find a love as true as mine.

You will always be the miracle that makes my life complete,
And as long as there's a breath in me, I'll make yours just as sweet.
As we look into the future, it's as far as we can see,
So let's make each tomorrow be the best that it can be.

Repeat Chorus:

And if along the way we find a day it starts to storm,
You've got the promise of my love to keep you warm.
In all the world you'll never find a love as true as mine,
A love as true as mine.

Let me be your mailman and I'll always come through.
There's no denyin’, come rain or shine, I'll deliver my love to you.
I do things by the letter, you can put your stamp on me
'Cause there ain't nobody better for a special delivery.

Chorus:
Like a pony express in the wild, wild west, I'll ride hard all night long.
And I can saddle up fast, get you there first class long before the dawn.
You know your mail's gonna get to you come snow, rain, sleet or hail
'Cause I'm a top flight, hold-you-tight,
Get-you-there-by-daylight, do-you-right overnight male.

I know your heart is fragile, so I'll handle it with care.
There ain't no doubt, I know love's route, so baby let me take you there.
I'll bring you cards and flowers, but I know just what you need.
Just give me 24-hours satisfaction guarantee.

Repeat Chorus:

Yeah I'm a top flight, hold you tight,
Get you there by daylight, do you right overnight male.

When you hear twin fiddles and a steel guitar,
You're listening to the sound of the American heart.
And Opry music on a Saturday night
Brings a smile to your face and a tear to your eye.

Chorus:
Sing a song about the heartland,
The only place I feel at home.
Sing about the way a good man
Works until the daylight's gone.
Sing the rain on the roof on a summer night
Where they still know wrong from right.
Sing a song about the heartland.
Sing a song about my life.

Repeat Chorus:

There’s a place where mornings are an endless blue
And you feel mother nature walk along with you,
Where simple people living side by side
Still wave to their neighbor when they’re drivin’ by.

Repeat Chorus:

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?
