Dolly Parton - She Don't Love You (Like I Love You) Lyrics

Dolly Parton - She Don't Love You (Like I Love You) Video

She don't love you like I love you

Cause if she did she wouldn't break your heart

She don't love you like I love you

She's tryin' to tear us apart

Fairly well I know you're leavin'

For the new love that you found

The pretty girl that you've been dating

Oh I've got a feeling she's gonna put you down

 

Cause she don't love you like I love you

Cause if she did she wouldn't break your heart

She don't love you like I love you

She's tryin' to tear us apart

 

She uses all the great quotations

She says all the things I wish I could say

But she's had so many rehearsals

Oh, to her it's just a lover's play

 

But wait when the final act is over

And you're left standin' all alone

When she takes her bow and makes her exit

Oh, well I'll be there to take you home

 

She don't love you like I love you

Cause if she did she wouldn't break your heart

She don't love you like I love you

She's tryin' to tear us apart

Dolly Parton - Please Don't Stop Loving Me Lyrics

Dolly Parton - Please Don't Stop Loving Me Video

Please, please don't stop loving me

For I couldn't live with you gone

Please, please don't stop loving me

For I couldn't make it alone

 

You bring me the sunshine when none is in sight

And when I'm in darkness, you bring me the light

You opened my eyes when I couldn't see

So please, oh, please don't stop loving me

 

You're my inspiration, my purpose in life

When things go all wrong, you make them all right

I would be useless if you ever leave

So please, oh please don't stop loving me

 

Please, please don't stop loving me

For I couldn't live with you gone

Please, please don't stop loving me

For I couldn't make it alone

Please, please don't stop loving me

IF YOU GO I'LL FOLLOW YOU

WITH DOLLY PARTON

Writers Dolly Parton, Porter Wagoner

 

If you go, I'll follow you

You can't leave my love behind

Dolly Parton - Straight Talk Lyrics

Dolly Parton - Straight Talk Video

Gimme some straight talk, straight talk -- and hold the sugar please

Straight talk, straight talk -- sounds plenty sweet to me

Don't talk to me in circles in some mumbo-jumbo jive

Gimme just straight talk, straight talk and we're gonna be alright

'Cause I like to know just where I stand, I don't like guessing games

And I hate a bunch of gibberish, so just spit it out real plain

Don't use big educated words from your BS Degree

Straight talk, straight talk -- don't try B.S.-ing me

 

Straight talk, straight talk -- turn loose and let it go

You can tell me anything -- just like on Oprah's show

Just tell me how you really feel, be on the up and up

With questions I can understand -- for answers you can trust

 

Pick up the 'phone, you're not alone -- we've all got something to say

So listen in and listen up -- we'll find a better way

With honesty and common sense, it's really hard to miss

Straight talk, straight talk -- just tellin' it like it is

 

Straight talk, straight talk -- there's nothing like the truth

Just tell me all your troubles -- pretend I'm Donahue

So don't be shy, 'Cause we can talk -- you know you've got a friend

Call me, call me -- for simple straight talkin'

 

What's cookin', America?

 

Straight talk, Straight talk

Straight talk, Straight talk

 

So some on let's talk turkey, just straight and to the point

About passions, about problems, about noses out of joint

Now I want you all to know I care and I do understand

And hey, thanks for lending me and ear out there in radioland

 

Give me some straight talk, straight talk -- don't sugar coat it please

Straight talk, straight talk -- sounds sweet enough to me

But don't talk to me in circles, in your mumbo-jumbo jive

Straight talk, straight talk -- and we're gonna be alright

Straight talk, straight talk -- makes plenty sense to me

Don't talk to me in circles, in your mumbo-jumbo jive

Gimme just straight talk, straight talk -- and we're gonna be alright

Gimme just straight talk, straight talk -- and we're gonna be alright

Dolly Parton - Sweet Summer Lovin' Lyrics

Dolly Parton - Sweet Summer Lovin' Video

Though the sun may be dawning

You're the one that lights the morning

As I awake to the heaven

Of your sweet summer lovin'

By a stream in the country

Running barefoot and feeling free

While the love in our hearts blend

Into sweet summer lovin'

 

Sweet summer lovin' in the dandelions

Sweet summer lovin' keeps me high as candy wine

 

When that big red balloon sets

Like a painting across the west

As the sky turns a crimson blue

As the world turns for me and you

 

By the light of the moon glowing

While the warm summer wind blows

'cross the sill of your window

We'll be letting our love flow

 

Sweet summer lovin' in the dandelions

Sweet summer lovin' keeps me high as candy wine

 

Sweet summer lovin' in the dandelions

Sweet summer lovin' keeps me high as candy wine

 

Sweet summer lovin'

Sweet summer lovin'

Mmm...

Sweet summer lovin'

Mmm...

Sweet summer lovin'

I love your sweet summer lovin'

Sweet summer lovin'

Sweet summer lovin'

Mmm...

Sweet summer lovin'

Mmm...

Sweet summer lovin'

Dolly Parton - You're The Only One Lyrics

Dolly Parton - You're The Only One Video

(Carole Bayer Sager/Bruce Roberts)

 

I found out the hard way

And I'm never gonna break your heart

I know, too late

And I don't want to break your heart

Guess I had to go away just to find

What I left behind

 

You're the only one

You're the only one

Take me back

To where we started from

And let's make it now

Like we made it then

This ol' heart ain't gonna break your heart again

 

Nights I lay in bed

And your covers wouldn't warm my feet

And morning found me

Bitter or a bit too sweet

Oh baby, I had to go away

Just to run back and say

 

You're the only one

You're the only one

Take me back

To where we started from

Can we make it now

Like we made it then

This ol' heart ain't gonna break your heart again

 

You're the only one darlin'

They'll never be anyone else but you

I love you so much

 

You are my love, you've become my life

And I never meant to break your heart

But, sometimes, you just got to go away

To find what you left behind

 

You're the only one

You're the only one

Take me back

To where we started from

Can we make it now

Like we make it then

This ol' heart ain't gonna break your heart again

 

You're the only one

You're the only one

You're the only one

The only one

So take me back

To where we started from

 

You're the only one

The only one

You're the only one

 

You 're the only one

The only one

Take me back

To where we started from

 

You're the only one

The only one

You're the only one

You're the only one

The only one

Dolly Parton - Think About Love Lyrics

Dolly Parton - Think About Love Video

I can't forget you

Ever since the moment that I met you

You've been on my mind

And I need to somehow let you know

That I think about you all the time

 

So when you think about love, think about me

I can give you more than you'll ever need

Sooner or later every heart needs some company

When you think about love, think about me

When you think about love, think about me

 

We were strangers

Now I'm already wrapped around your finger

Oh whats a heart to do

'Cause it lingers

And the thought of you

Wantin' me as much as I want you

 

So when you think about love, think about me

I can give you more than you'll ever need

Sooner or later every heart needs some company

When you think about love, think about me

When you think about love, think about me

 

Makes me blue

I'm not holding you tonight

Cause only you can satisfy

This heart of mine

 

So when you think about love, think about me

I can give you more than you'll ever need

Sooner or later every heart needs some company

When you think about love, think about me

When you think about love, think about me

 

So when you think about love, think about me

I can give you more than you'll ever need

Sooner or later every heart needs some company

When you think about love, think about me

When you think about love, think about me

Dolly Parton - Touch Your Woman Lyrics

Dolly Parton - Touch Your Woman Video

We can't always both be right

We sometimes disagree

But you've got the right to speak your mind

An' it's the same with me

When the anger's at an end

And you want inside my arms again

All you have to do to make it right is just

Chorus:

 

Touch your woman

Touch your woman

Everything's gonna be alright

Touch your woman

Touch your woman

Let me know, let me know everything's alright

 

There are times when I should be strong

When I'm awfully weak

When the sudden blows of life have brought me to my knees

Woman needs a helpin' hand

Needs someone to understand

Needs the man she loves to help her stand, so

 

Repeat Chorus

 

And when the busy day is done

You lay by my side

You know exactly what it takes to keep me satisfied

You know exactly what I need and I always go to sleep in peace

Thanking God that you belong to me, so

 

Repeat Chorus

Dolly Parton - If Teardrops Were Pennies Lyrics

Dolly Parton - If Teardrops Were Pennies Video

An acre of diamonds I'd offered to you

A solid gold mansion an airplane or two

This whole world would be yours to have and to hold

If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold

 

If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold

I'd have all the riches my pockets would hold

I'd feel oh so wealthy with treasures untold

If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold

fiddle

The tears that have fallen won't buy you a thing

The heartaches you've caused me won't pay for a ring

The love that I wanted would not have grown cold

If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold

 

If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold...

But teardrops aren't pennies and heartaches aren't gold

Dolly Parton - Sweet Music Man Lyrics

Dolly Parton - Sweet Music Man Video

Sing a song sweet music man

'Cause I won't be there to hold your hand like I used to

I'm through with you

You're a heck of a singer and powerful man

But you surround yourself with people

Who demand so little of you

You touched my soul with your beautiful song

You even had me singin' along right with you

You said I need you

Then you changed the words and added harmony

Then you sang the song you had written for me to someone new

 

Oh, but nobody sings a love song quite like you do

Oh, and nobody else can make me sing along

Nobody else can make me feel things are right

When I know they're wrong

Nobody sings a love song quite like you

 

Sing your song sweet music man

Travel the world with a six piece band

That does for you what you tell 'em to

And you try to stay young but the songs are sung

To so many people who've all begun came back on you

 

Sing your song sad music man

Makin' your living doing one-night stands

They're through with you

They don't need you

You're still a heck of a singer but a broken man

But you'll keep on lookin' for one last fan to sing to

Oh, and nobody sings a love song quite like you do

Oh, and nobody else can make me sing along

And nobody else can make me feel things are right

When they're wrong with a song

Nobody sings a love song quite like you

Sing your song sweet music man

I believe in you

Dolly Parton - Save The Last Dance For Me Lyrics

Dolly Parton - Save The Last Dance For Me Video

(Doc Pomus/Mort Shuman)

 

You can dance

Every dance with the one that gives you the eye

Let 'em hold you tight

You can smile

Every smile for the one that holds your hand

In the pale moonlight

Just don't forget who's takin' you home

And in who's arms you're gonna be

So, darlin' save the last dance for me

Oh I know

That the music's fine like sparklin' wine

Go and have your fun

Laugh and sing

But while we're apart, don't give your heart to anyone

Just don't forget who's takin' you home

And in who's arms you're gonna be

So, darlin', save the last dance for me

 

Baby don't you know I love you so

Can't you feel it when we touch

I will never never let you go

I love you oh so much

 

You can dance

Go and carry on till the night is gone

 

'Till it's time to go

If she asks

If you're all alone, can she take you home

You must tell her no

 

And don't forget who's takin' you home

And in who's arms you're gonna be

So, darlin', save the last dance for me

 

Just don't forget who's takin' you home

And in who's arms you're gonna be

So, darlin', save the last dance for me

Ooh, darlin', save the last dance for me

 

You can dance

Every dance with the one that gives you the eye

And let 'em hold you tight

You can smile

Every smile for the one that holds your hand

In the pale moonlight

Just don't forget who's takin' you home

And in who's arms your gonna be

So, darlin', save the last dance for me

Ooh, darlin', save the last dance for me

Dolly Parton - Eagle When She Flies Lyrics

Dolly Parton - Eagle When She Flies Video

She's been there, god knows she's been there

She has seen and done it all

She's a woman, she knows how to dish it out, or take it all

Her heart's as soft as feathers, still she weathers stormy skies

And she's a sparrow when she's broken

But she's an eagle when she flies

 

A kliederscope of colours, you can toss her round and round

You can keep her, in your vision, but you never keep her down

She's a lover, she's a mother, she's a friend and she's a wife

And she's a sparrow when she's broken

But she's an eagle when she flies

 

Gentle as the sweet magnolia, strong as steel her faith and pride

She's an everlasting shoulder, she's a leading post of life

She hurts deep, and when she weeps, she's just as fragile as a child

And she's a sparrow when she's broken

But she's an eagle when she flies

She's a sparrow when she's broken

But she's an eagle when she flies

Oh bless her lord

She's an eagle when she flies

Dolly Parton - Romeo Lyrics

Dolly Parton - Romeo Video

Come here boy

Awww baby

Girlfriend check it out

Hey, hey, hey,

Shape up girls

 

A cross between a movie star

And a hero in a book

Romeo comes struttin' in

And everybody looks

'Cause he's just got that

Special thang

That everybody needs

And everybody wants him

But not as bad as me

 

Hey, Romeo, where art thou

Get out here on the floor

I want to dance you darlin'

'Til you forget wherefore

Let's two step to a new step

We'll keep it all in line

And we'll call this the Romeo

'Cause your so mighty fine

 

Romeo, Romeo, Romeo come

Dance with me

 

That sexy little body

Beats all I've ever seen

I ain't never seen a cowboy

Look that good in jeans

My temperature keeps risin'

Every time we meet

I may not be in love

But let me tell you,

I'm in heat

 

Romeo, Romeo, I just know

I'll get you yet

Romeo, Romeo, I want to be

Your Juliet

 

So step it high, step it low

Step it out and in

Step to the side and let it slide

Then steppin' up again

Step on toes, it all goes

Steppin' as you please

But I'm one step away

From love

So don't step out on me

 

Romeo, Romeo, Romeo with

The magic feet

 

Check, check, check, check

Check it out

 

So step it high, step it low

Step it out and in

Step to the side and let it slide

Then steppin' up again

Step on toes, it all goes

Steppin' as you please

But I'm one step away

From love

So don't step out on me

 

Romeo, Romeo, I just know

I'll get you yet

Romeo, Romeo,

Won't you be my Juliet

Romeo, Romeo,

Dolly Parton - My Tennessee Mountain Home Lyrics

Dolly Parton - My Tennessee Mountain Home Video

Sittin' on the front porch on a summer afternoon

In a straightback chair on two legs, leans against the wall

Watch the kids a' playin' with June bugs on a string

And chase the glowin' fireflies when evenin' shadows fall

Chorus:

 

In my Tennessee mountain home

Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh

In my Tennessee mountain home

Crickets sing in the fields near by

 

Honeysuckle vine clings to the fence along the lane

Their fragrance makes the summer wind so sweet

And on a distant hilltop, an eagle spreads its wings

An' a songbird on a fence post sings a melody

 

Repeat Chorus

 

Walkin' home from church on a Sunday with the one ya' love

Just laughin', talkin', making future plans

And when the folks ain't lookin', you might steal a kiss or two

Sittin' in the porch swing, holdin' hands

 

Repeat Chorus

Dolly Parton - Two Doors Down Lyrics

Dolly Parton - Two Doors Down Video

Two doors down

They're laughing and drinking and having a party

Two doors down

They're not aware that I'm around

But here I am crying my heart out feeling sorry

But they're having a party just two doors down

 

I think I'll dry these useless tears

And get myself together

I think I'll wander down the hall and have a look around

Cause I can't stay inside this lonely room and cry forever

I think I'd really rather join them two doors down.

 

Two doors down

They're laughing and drinking and having a party

Two doors down

They're all aware that I'm around

Cause here I am no longer crying and feeling sorry

Having a party just two doors down

 

I can't believe I'm standing here dry eyed, all smiles, and talking

Making conversation with the new love I found

I asked him if he'd like to be alone and we start walking

Down the hall to my place late

Two doors down.

 

Two doors down

They're laughing and drinking and having a party

Two doors down

We're not aware that they're around

Cause here I am feeling everything but sorry

Having a love party two doors down

Dolly Parton - Just Because I'm A Woman Video

Just because, just because

Just because, I'm a woman

 

I can see you're disappointed

By the way you look at me

And I'm sorry if I'm not the woman

You thought I'd be

Yes I've made mistakes

But listen and understand

My mistakes are no worse that yours

Just because I'm a woman

 

So when you look at me

Don't feel sorry for yourself

Just think of all the hurt

You might have cause somebody else

Just let me tell you this

Then we'll both know where we stand

My mistakes are no worse than yours

Just because I'm a woman

 

A man will take a good girl

And he'll ruin her reputation

But when he wants to marry

Well that's a different situation

He'll just walk off and leave her

To do the best she can

While he looks for an angel

To wear his wedding band

 

Well I know that I'm no angel

If thats what you thought you'd found

I am just the victim of a man who let me down

Yes, I've made mistakes

But you listen and understand

My mistakes are no worse than yours

Just because I'm a woman

I don't want your lonely mansion

With a tear in every room

All I want is the love you promised

Bring me the halo moon

But you think I should be happy

With your money and your name

And hide myself in sorrow

While you play your cheating game

 

Chorus:

 

Silver threads and golden needles

Cannot mend this heart of mine

And I dare not drown my sorrow

In the warm glow of your wine

You can't buy my love with money

For I never was that kind

Silver threads and golden needles

Cannot mend this heart of mine

Dolly Parton - The Moon, The Stars, And Me Video

(Wayland Patton/Diana Rae)

 

Tonight I feel a chill in the air

As cold as that look on your face

I hear what you're saying but coming from you

Goodbye seems so out of place

Now how can you stand there and honestly say

There never wee any real promises made

 

The moon is my witness

The stars will agree

They all heard you promise

You'd always love me

I know that it's true

But it's hard to believe

You lied to the moon

The stars and me

 

And what about all of those warm tender nights

Did they mean nothing to you

And where are the feelings I thought that we shared

Or have you forgotten them too

Did you think I could just put your memory behind

When your words are still so very clear in my mind

 

The moon is my witness

The stars will agree

They all heard you promise

You'd always love me

I know that it's true

But it's hard to believe

You lied to the moon

The stars and me

 

The moon is my witness

The stars will agree

They all heard you promise

You'd always love me

I know that it's true

But it's hard to believe

You lied to the moon

The stars and me

 

I know that it's true

But it's hard to believe

You lied to the moon

The stars and me

You lied

I'm tempted my darlin' to steal you away

You belong to another and can never be mine

I know one step closer would be heaven divine

Don't let me cross over love's cheating line

When your eyes keep saying that you want me too

And I know if I lose you not a dream will I have left

I don't want to cheat dear, but I can't help myself
