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.
Repeat Chorus:
Easy come girl, easy go.
Vaya condios, good luck,
Easy come, easy go.
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.
Chorus:
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."
Well I was ruling the roost, had all the
chicks to myself.
And suddenly it happened, that funny little
feeling I felt.
Well I tried to outrun it, but it finally
caught up with me.
Tell me how can I run from something that
I can't see?
Chorus:
Oh that little bitty teeny weeny thing
they call the lovebug.
Nobody's ever seen it, but it's got the
whole world shook up.
It all started with a little bitty kiss
and a hug.
It's a little bitty teeny weeny thing
they call the lovebug.
Well I always thought that I had me a pretty
good style,
But I lost that race by a good old country
mile.
Well I was walking all around with my
head held way up high,
And it fooled me, hit me, really took
me by surprise.
Repeat Chorus:
Repeat Chorus:
It's a little bitty teeny weeny thing they call the lovebug.
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.
I'll always be the man in love with you.
Without a warning, you're outta control.
The ground shakes and the oceans roll-
This is the big one, there's no way to
run.
On the Richter scale of romance
You hit twelve and you don't stand a chance.
This is the big one, I'm fallin' 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 outtasite.
No need to panic I tell myself,
But I never felt this feeling with anybody
else.
This is the big one I'm falling in love.
Repeat Chorus:
At a table for two, with candle light 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 feeling 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.
Repeat Chorus:
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 Thibodaux.
Oh my, you really fillin' 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'.
Repeat Chorus:
Repeat Chorus:
She said I don't recall seeing you around
here
You must be new to this town
Said I'm just passing through
But girl from the looks of you
I could see me settling down.
Chorus:
Then she smiled and said the invitation's
open
'Cause you look just like what I've been
waiting on
So I said why don't we take this matter
somewhere else
And get to know this feeling that's so
strong, lead on.
She said I had a love once, but he just
up and left me
I said I bet it broke your heart.
I had a love once too, but I acted like
a fool
Oh what I'd give to be back in her arms.
Chorus:
Then she smiled and said the invitation's
open
'Cause you look just like what I've been
waiting on
So I said why don't we take this matter
somewhere else
And pick up right where everything went
wrong, lead on.
She said I don't recall seeing you around
here
You must be new to this town.
It started way back in third grade.
I used to sit beside Emmylou Hayes
A pink dress, a matching bow, and her
pony tail.
She kissed me on the school bus, but told
me not to tell.
Next day I chased her round the playground
Across the monkey bars, to the merry-go-round
And Emmylou got caught passing me a note
Before the teacher took it, I read what
she wrote.
Chorus:
Do you love me, do you wanna be my friend?
And if you do, well then don't be afraid
to take me by the hand
If you want to.
I think this is how love goes, check yes
or no.
Now we're grown up and she's my wife.
Still like two kids with stars in our
eyes.
Ain't much changed, I still chase Emmylou.
Up and down the hall, around the bed in
our room.
Last night I took her out in a white limousine
Twenty years later, she still gets to
me
Can't believe it's been that long ago.
When we got started with just a little
note.
Repeat Chorus:
There's just a hint of indifference
In her lack of conversation when we talk.
And the subject matters change,
There's no mention of our future now at
all.
She still kisses me each morning,
But it seems more like a habit than before.
I know she still loves me,
But I don't think she likes me anymore.
She used to laugh at all my jokes,
But lately I can't seem to make her smile.
And the last time we made love it was
good,
But God it's been a while.
She's always there when I get home,
But she's no longer waiting at the door.
I know she still loves me,
But I don't think she likes me anymore.
'Cause it's just a little colder every
time I hold her.
She's just going through the motions
From what's left of her devotion;
And it scares me half to death
Wonderin' what tomorrow holds in store.
I know she still loves me,
But I don't think she likes me anymore.
Right now I know she loves me,
But I don't think she likes me anymore.
