DON'T GET AROUND MUCH ANYMORE

Missed the Saturday dance,

heard they crowded the floor

It's awfully different without you,

don't get around much anymore

Thought I visit the club, 

got as far as the door 

I just couldn't bear it without you, 

I don't get around much anymore

Darling I guess,

my mind is more at ease 

but nevertheless,

why stir up memories 

Been invited on a date, 

I might have gone, but what for 

I just couldn't bear it without you, 

I don't get around much anymore

Don't get around much anymore

OF ME

AND WAY DEEP DOWN IN THE HEART OF ME

I KNOW

I CAN’T LET GO

I JUST CAN’T LET GO

CAN I CHANGE MY MIND

Aww, she didn't bat an eye
As I packed my bags to leave
I thought she would start to cry
Or sit around my room and grieve

But y'all, the girl, she fooled me this time
She acted like I was the last thing on her mind
I would like to start all over again

As I took those steps
Toward that open door
Knowing all the time
Oh, Lord, I just didn't wanna go

But she didn't give me no sign
Nothing that would make me change my mind
I would like to start all over again

Oh, I played my games
Many times before
But peoples, let me tell y'all
Oh, I never reached the door

But ooh, the winds howl tonight
I keep lookin' back but my baby's not in sight
I would like to start all over again

BRIGHT LIGHTS BIG CITY

Bright lights, big city,
Gone to my baby's head
Bright lights, big city
Gone to my baby's head
I'd tried to tell the woman but she doesn't believe a word I said

Go light pretty baby... gonna need my help some day
It's all right pretty baby...gonna need my help some day
You're gonna wish you listened

to some of those things I said

Go ahead pretty baby
Oh, honey knock yourself out
Go ahead pretty baby
Oh honey knock yourself out
I still love you baby cause you don't know what it's all about

Bright lights, big city,
Gone to my baby's head
Bright lights, big city
Gone to my baby's head

BORN UNDER A BAD SIGN

Refrain:

Born under a bad sign

Hard luck and trouble

I’ve been on my own

Ever since i was ten

Had to learn how to write

My whole life has been

one big fight

refrain

If it wasn’t for bad luck

I wouldn’t haver no kind of luck

If it wasn’t for real bad luck

I wouldn’t have no luck at all

Wine and women

Is all I claim

A big legged woman

Is gonna carry me to my grave

Refrain

I’m a bad luck boy

Been having bad luck all my life
