All My Life lyrics - Conway Twitty

Maybe it's the way you kiss me
Or that twinkle in your eye
Maybe it's the way you hold me
And keep me satisfied
Just as long as you love me
I guess it doesn't matter why
You're the one I've dreamed of
All my life.

Maybe it's the way I sometimes catch you
With my reflection in your eyes
Maybe it's the times I tease you
And you laugh until you cry
Just as long as you love me
I guess it doesn't matter why
You're the one I've dreamed of
All my life.

Maybe it's the way you kiss me
Or that twinkle in your eye
Maybe it's the way you hold me
And keep me satisfied
Just as long as you love me
I guess it doesn't matter why
You're the one I've dreamed of
All my life.

You're the one I've dreamed of
All my life...

Bad Boy lyrics - Conway Twitty

Everyday your husband goes to work from nine to five
Wakes up in the morning and puts on his coat and tie
Sits down at the table with some coffee and the news
'Two eggs over easy,' girl, that's all he says to you
The kids are all in school now and you sit home alone
Spendin' all your time down it the basement a-washin' clothes
Somehow this just ain't the way you dreamed love would be
I can look into your eyes and tell just what you need.

You need a bad boy
To love you up and down
A bad boy
To take you on the town
It's plain to see what you need's
A little bit of mystery
You need a bad boy
A bad boy like me.

Every night at six o'clock he walks on through the door
Lays down on the couch and throws his shoes off on the floor
Tonight was gonna be the night he took you to a show
Now he's much too tired and he doesn't wanna go
Once again you spend the night in front of the TV
In bed you turn to touch him but he's already asleep.

You need a bad boy
To love you up and down
A bad boy
To take you on the town
It's plain to see what you need's
A little bit of mystery
You need a bad boy
A bad boy like me
Bad boy...

Somebody's Needin' Somebody lyrics - Conway Twitty

Someone somewhere's fallin' asleep
In a chair in front of the tv
'Cross town somebody's
Up and walkin' the floor at a quarter to three.

In some little corner of the world
A forgotten soul is waitin' by the phone
And right down the hall someone's in there feelin'
Like cryin' 'cause they're livin' all alone.

Somebody's needin' somebody the way I do
Somebody's wantin' somebody they can hold on to
To be loved by somebody that's the way it should be
Oh, there's got to be somebody somewhere waitin' for me.

Late at night it's lonely and I wonder how I'll ever get through
There's got to be somebody somewhere who's feelin' it too
Hurtin' inside, goin' through the motions, it's so hard to live
So many feelin' so lonely when they got so much to give.

Somebody's needin' somebody the way I do
Somebody's wantin' somebody they can hold on to
To be loved by somebody that's the way it should be
Oh, there's got to be somebody somewhere waitin' for me.

To be loved by somebody that's the way it should be
Oh, there's got to be somebody out there waitin' for me...

By Heart lyrics - Conway Twitty

Her face reflects as much of me as any mirror can
And my image in her eyes is all I know of who I am
But even as I see myself the lines begin to blur
For who I am has long been tied and tangled up in her.

And it isn't luck or chance she can read me at a glance
Not just because she's clever and she's smart
No, it's just by now she knows my heart
By heart.

It seems like it's been centuries since she and I began
And both of us took all our chances on a single hand
Though we took it day to day it's gone from year to year
And no one ever close to me was ever half as near.

And it isn't any trick or because her mind is quick
She reaches my conclusions as I start
No, it's just by now she knows my heart
By heart.

And amazing as it seems she brings magic to my dreams
Not just because she's mastered magic's art
No, it's just by now she knows my heart
By heart.

She knows my heart...

When The Magic Works lyrics - Conway Twitty

On a good night
I don't even have to try
'Cause it's so strong
Once I get on
To the right track
When I get the knack
She'll be helpless here forever.

When the magic works
There's no power on earth
To keep her from fallin' in love with me, yeah
Hey, when the magic works
I just say the right words
And she'll go to pieces right at my feet.

Moonlight
Everything is just right
I can feel it
Working a spell
And sometimes
When the planets are in line
I can see it come together.

When the magic works
There's no power on earth
To keep her from fallin' in love with me, yeah
Hmm, when the magic works
I just say the right words
And she'll go to pieces right at my feet.

Yeah, when the magic works
There's no power on earth
To keep her from fallin' in love with me, yeah
Hmm, when the magic works
I just say the right words
And she'll go to pieces right at my feet.

When the magic works...

Call It What You Want To lyrics - Conway Twitty

You tell me that it's over
I'm just someone you think of now and then
And you say that you once loved me
But the love you had for me came to an end.

And you tell me that my memory
Is just a dying ember ' not a flame?
Well, you can call it what you want to
It's still love by any other name.

Call it what you want to
I still bring out the want ' to in your eyes
Every time that I'm around you
The desire that surrounds you just can't be disguised.

You can call it anything at all
But what you're telling me don't change a thing
You can call it what you want to
I still bring out the want ' to in your eyes.

Every time that I'm around you
The desire that surrounds you just can't be disguised
You can call it anything at all
But what you're telling me don't change a thing.

Baby, call it what you want to
It's still love by any other name...

Hard Act To Follow lyrics - Conway Twitty

My leading lady is gone
And it's so hard to go on
Without the part she played
My life's just an empty stage.

She's a hard act to follow
I thought I'd find somebody by now
She's a hard act to follow
Her leavin' brought the whole house down.

She was so right for the part
The way she fit into my heart
After the love she gave
Who could ever take her place?

She's a hard act to follow
I thought I'd find somebody by now
She's a hard act to follow
Her leavin' brought the whole house down.

She's a hard act to follow
I thought I'd find somebody by now
She's a hard act to follow
Her leavin' brought the whole house down...

"Lost In The Feeling" (1983)

Lost In The Feeling lyrics - Conway Twitty

We step out on the dance floor
The band starts to play
Holding you close I get carried away
Finding that falling is easy to do
Lost in the feeling with you.

Time standing still as I whirl you around
We're dancing without
Even touching the ground
Finding that falling is easy to do
Lost in the feeling with you.

No words are spoken
That don't need to be said
You and the music
Had gone to my head.

But I'll just go on
When the music is through
Lost in the feeling with you
Lost in the feeling with you.

Lost in the feeling with you...

Best Is Yet To Come lyrics - Conway Twitty

I watched the shadow of her body on the wall
As she slowly moved across the room
Anticipatin' Lord, I can't stand the waitin'
As I looked through the gown she slipped into

I hear my heart beating out of time
As I feel her body move so close to mine
With just one touch my soul surrenders
And once again she takes control of me

But the best is yet to come
Lord, she's only just begun
When we love she leaves nothing undone
It just gets better everytime
And the best is yet to come

I feel her breathin' gently on my shoulder
Lying here in loves sweet after glow
But I still feel the fire
Cause tonight she took me higher
Than she had ever takin' me before

Ah, but I know the best is yet to come
Lord, she's only just begun
When we love she leaves nothing undone
It just gets better everytime
And the best is yet to come

Yeah, the best is yet to come
Lord, she's only just begun
When we love she leaves nothing undone
It just gets better everytime
And the best is yet to come...

You've Got A Good Love Coming lyrics - Conway Twitty

Look out! there's a sunny day
I do believe it's headed your way.
You've been crying long enough
But you'll forget what a teardrop was.

You've got a good love coming
You've got a good love coming
You've got a good love coming
To you tonight.

Knock, knock baby, guess who's here
I've come to make one thing clear
No more heartaches, no more fear,
Tonight's the night they're gonna disappear.

Cause you've got a good love coming
You've got a good love coming
You've got a good love coming
To you tonight.

Hold on, don't you go nowhere
You're gonna get it as soon as I get there.

You've got a good love coming
You've got a good love coming
You've got a good love coming
To you tonight

We're So Close lyrics - Conway Twitty

I know we just met,
And yet here we are all alone
And I'm burning up
With the feeling that I've never known.

True love takes time and I'm not the kind
That believes in love at first sight,
Ahhhh, but I got a feelin' I'm close
To believing tonight.

We're so close I'm almost in love
We're so close to something
I've been dreamin' of
We're right on the verge of makin' love.

Something much more than words
Feels so right
And I've never been so close
To love in my life.

No one has ever touched me
The way that you do
I've never wanted a woman
Like I'm wanting you.

The heart's open wide so come on inside
That's where I want you to stay
'Cause I've got a feeling tonight.
We might fall all the way.

We're so close I'm almost in love
We're so close to something I've been dreamin' of
We're right on the verge of makin' love.

Something much more than words
Feels so right
And I've never been so close
To love in my life.

I've never been so close
To love in my life...

Heartache Tonight lyrics - Conway Twitty

Somebody's gonna hurt someone
Before the night is through
Somebody's gonna come undone
There's nothin' we can do

Everybody wants to touch somebody
If it takes all night
Everybody wants to take a little chance
It make it come out right

There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know, yes, I know

Some people like to stay out late
Some folks can't hold out that long
Nobody wants to go home now
There's too much goin' on

This night is gonna last forever
It might last all summer long
Some time before the sun comes up
The radio is gonna play that song

There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know, yes, I know

There's gonna be a heartache tonight
The moon's shinin' bright
So turn out the light and we'll get it right
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know

Somebody's gonna hurt someone
Before the night is through
Somebody's gonna come undone
There's nothin' we can do

Everybody wants to touch somebody
If it takes all night
Everybody wants to take a little chance
It make it come out right

There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know, so let's go

We can beat around the bushes
We can get down to the bone
We can leave it in the parkin' lot
But either way we're goin'

There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight I know
There'll be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know

Stranger's Point Of View lyrics - Conway Twitty

I never saw a single tear, if she cried it would never show
Maybe she was lonely, I didn't take the time to know
I never thought I'd see the day I'd miss her like I do
Until the day I saw her from a stranger's point of view

She never even noticed me. If she did she wouldn't say
But she never looked so lovely as when she turned and walked away
Now someone else is holdin' her just like I used to do
I can see it all so clearly now from a stranger's point of view

This stranger's eyes can't take the pain of seeing her like this
This stranger's eyes can't overlook everything I missed
I never thought I'd see the day I'd miss her like I do
Until the day I looked at her from a stranger's point of view...

I Think I'm In Love lyrics - Conway Twitty

I was sittin' on a barstool
Sippin' on a cold brew when she walked in
A slow-movin' thing, in tight-fittin' jeans
I turned and I said to my friend,
'Well ole drinkin' buddy, my mind's gettin' muddy
From watchin' the way she moves
So pardon me please, I'm gonna roll up me sleeves
And turn all my want to's loose.'

'I think I'm in love, oh Lordy, Lord, I think I'm in love
I don't even know her name, but she's started a flame
And buddy, It's burnin me up.
I think I'm in love, oh Lordy, Lord, I think I'm in love
I don't know about tomorrow but tonight I think I'm in love.'

She was dancin' to a slow song,
Some fella hangin' on but she was lookin' at me
With a come and get it smile and hold me for a while
She swept me right off my feet
'Well ole drinkin' buddy, my mind's still muddy
From watchin' the way she moves
So pardon me please, I'm gonna roll up my sleeves
And turn all my want to's loose.'

'I think I'm in love, oh Lordy, Lord I think I'm in love
I don't even know her name, but she's stared a flame
And buddy, It's burnin' me up
I think I'm in love, oh Lordy, Lord I think I'm in love
I don't know about tomorrow but tonight, I think I'm in love.'

'I think I'm in love, oh Lordy, Lord I think I'm in love
I don't know about tomorrow but tonight I thing I'm in love

Three Times A Lady lyrics - Conway twitty

Thanks for the times that you've given me
The mem'ries are all in my mind.
And now that we've come to the end of our rainbow
There's something I must say out loud

You're once, twice, three times a lady and I love you.
You're once, twice, three times a lady and I love you.

You share my dreams, my joy my pain
You make my life worth living for
And if I had my life to live over again
I'd spend every moment with you.

You're once, twice, three times a lady and I love you.
You're once, twice, three times a lady and I love you.

You're once, twice, three times a lady and I love you.
I love you...

First Things First lyrics - Conway Twitty

Last night I had a blind date.
A situation that I usually hate.
I rang the bell, she opened the door
Wearin' a smile and not much more.
I said: "You think you better get dressed for dinner"
she said: "I'm dressed for dessert! Honey,
First Things First. First Things First".

After dinner and the wine is gone.
It's back at her place with the TV on.
I said: "It's gettin' late I should be gettin' home",
she said: "You know I really hate to sleep alone.
Maybe it's best that we get some rest?",
while she unbuttoned my shirt she said,
"First Things First, First Things First".

All night long I went along with her philosophy.
I must agree she got to me with her priority.
Waking up I never felt to good.
I'm seein' things I never thought I would.
Last night the lady made a change in me
And I'm seeing things a little differently.
So, ain't gonna hurry, no!

Ain't gonna worry why they wonder why we're late for work
We'll say, "First Things First".
Oh baby, First Things First.
Yeah, First Things First,
First Things First...

Don't It Feel Good lyrics - Conway Twitty

Don't it feel good, babe... Don't it feel right
Lyin' here beside you, holdin' you so tight
Longin' to satisfy love's appetite
Don't it feel good, babe... Don't it feel right

I love the way that you touch me, the way that you kiss me
The soft way you whisper in my ear
Your lips are burnin' like fire, fillin' me with desire
Girl, I can't think straight when you; re near

Don't it feel good, babe... Don't it feel right
Lyin' here beside you, holdin' you so tight
Longin' to satisfy love's appetite
Don't it feel good, babe... Don't it feel right

We found a good thing together, so close to each other
In this lovin' fever that we've caught
I want to hold you forever... There ain't nothin' better
Let's just hold on to what we've got

Don't it feel good babe... Don't it feel right
Lyin' here beside you, holdin' you so tight
Longin' to satisfy love's appetite
Don't it feel good, babe... Don't it feel right

Don't it feel good, babe... Don't it feel right
Lyin here beside you, holdin' you so tight
Longin' to satisfy love's appetite
Don't it feel good babe... Don't it feel right...

"Dream Maker" (1982)

Rose lyrics - Conway Twitty

Just two kids from the country far from any town
And wherever I played Rose could always be found
Life was hard but we made it and as everyone knows
I was there when she needed me a playmate of Rose.

Now years have passed things have changed since we moved into town
The little girl I grew up with is your woman now I found
And now the sidewalks of the city where wild temptation flows
Is her new playground and the playmates of Rose.

So if you're the one that's holdin' her tight
Somewhere out there at night
Please don't treat her as if she's just another girl
From off the street
And please don't do her wrong for her pride is almost gone
For you see Rose means the world to me
I love the girl you found out in the world
The girl that every man knows
But I love her today so different from your way
For you see I'm the brother of Rose...

We Did But Now You Don't lyrics - Conway Twitty

Falling into love so young seemed so right
How could we know we'd grow up and grow apart
All we really wanted was each other in the night
But, it's plain to see we've had a change of heart.

The day we said I do I really did and so did you
Love came so easy, coming true
I wish we could find that love again but I'm afraid we won't
'Cause when we said I do we really did but now you don't.

Wedding vows are just no good if you let 'em fade
And rings don't mean a thing when feelings die
There just a grim reminder of the love that we once made
And the loneliness ahead for you and I.

The day we said I do I really did and so did you
Love came so easy, coming true
I wish we could find that love again but I'm afraid we won't
'Cause when we said I do we really did but now you don't.

The day we said I do I really did and so did you
Love came so easy, coming true
I wish we could find that love again but I'm afraid we won't
'Cause when we said I do we really did but now you don't...

Good Love Died Tonight lyrics - Conway Twitty

To him it may be over
But for her it’ll be one day at a time
He may call it freedom
But to her he’s still locked inside her mind
You can throw away love’s golden pen
'Cause that’s all she wrote
The fire of love they kindled
Has all gone up in smoke
What a shame, what a sight
A good love died tonight.

To him it’s just and ending
But to her the pain’s beginning to start
For him it’s just a walk away
But for her it’s a breaking heart
One goodbye and lots of tears
Are all she has left to show
For those seven years
That just walked out the door
A lot of dreams lost their lives when
A good love died tonight.

They were headed for forever
When the hope that they were riding left the track
All the pleading and believing in the world
Won’t bring the feeling back
You can throw away love’s golden pen
'Cause that’s all she wrote
The fire of love they kindled
Has all gone up in smoke
What a shame, what a sight
A good love died tonight.

What a shame, what a sight
A good love died tonight...

In My Dreams lyrics - Conway Twitty

Never quite got over you
I wondered if you missed me too
I tried to call a time or two
You were never home
Tried to call again last night
Number's changed, but that's alright
You wouldn't see me anyway
But that's ok, I'll see you.

In my dreams
And they never let me down
The only way that I have left
Of having you around
In my dreams
And they've saved me up 'till now
But it's funny how a fool can see the light
When the sun goes down.

I never quite got through to you
Like all the others seem to do
Got kinda close a time or two
But not for very long
Ain't it funny how your memory makes
Love stronger than the heartaches
Makes me keep on loving you
The way I do when I see you.

In my dreams
And they never let me down
The only way that I have left
Of having you around
In my dreams
And they've saved me up 'till now
But it's funny how a fool can see the light
When the sun goes down
In my dreams...

One On One lyrics - Conway Twitty

There's never been a war
That could ever match the fight we just had
Broken dreams and promises scattered all over the floor
Now here I stand looking through the pain
That I wish was over
Who was wrong and who was right
It really doesn't matter anymore.

One on one, you against me
How I wish I could be holding you against me
One on one, you against me
How I wish I could be holding you against me.

Here I am staring out my window and the rain is pouring down
Watching the headlights of the car as she pulls out the drive
Tears start to fall and I begin to shake all over
I've got to try to pull myself together for this long lonely night.

One on one, you against me
How I wish I could be holding you against me
One on one, you against me
How I wish I could be holding you against me.

One on one, holding you against me...

Just When I Needed You Most lyrics - Conway Twitty

(originally by Randy VanWarmer)

You packed in the morning
And I stared out the window
And I struggled for something to say
You left in the rain without closing the door
I didn't stand in your way.

But I miss you more
Than I missed you before
And now where I'll find comfort
God knows
'Cause you left me just when I needed you most
You left me just when I needed you most.

Now most every morning
I stare out the window
And I think about where you might be
I've written you letters that I'd like to send
If you'd just send one to me.

'Cause I need you more
Than I needed before
And now where I'll find comfort
God knows
'Cause you left me just when I needed you most
You left me just when I needed you most.

Now most every morning
I stare out the window
And I think about where you might be
I've written you letters that I'd like to send
If you'd just send one to me.

'Cause I loved you more
Than I loved you before
And now where I'll find comfort
God knows
'Cause you left me just when I needed you most
You left me just when I needed you most...

Close Enough To Love lyrics - Conway Twitty

Your eyes reflect the sadness
Inside your broken heart
You're afraid to love again so openly
I'd gladly spend my lifetime
Repairing every part
Oh, that's close enough to love for me.

And if you're hung up on the memory
Of some other man
When you close your eyes, if it's still him you see
If I can't have you completely
I'll cherish what I can
Oh, that's close enough to love for me.

Pickin' up the pieces
Is hard to do alone
And now your mind is set on stayin' free
I just want to hold you
Until the hurt is gone
Oh, that's close enough to love for me.

I just want to hold you
Until the hurt is gone
Oh, that's close enough to love for me...

Burn Georgia Burn lyrics - Conway Twitty

From a kiss to a small spark, in a heartbeat a raging fire
With hungry flames burning higher, Georgia gave to her desire
She said no for so long, to temptation 'she finally turned
But when she gave, she gave it all, burn, Georgia burn.

Burn, Georgia burn
There's a fire in your soul
Am I to blame for the flame?
That's out of control.

Now twenty-five and the first time makes a woman kinda wild
When wall flowers turn to roses, they take on a certain style
Now I ain't sayin' she was wrong, as she took a wayward turn
But I remember the fire I started, burn, Georgia burn.

Burn, Georgia burn
There's a fire in your soul
Am I to blame for the flame?
That's out of control.

Burn, Georgia burn
There's a fire in your soul
Am I to blame for the flame?
That's out of control...

In My Eyes lyrics - Conway Twitty

She's just a woman
A hundred pounds of flesh and blood
Quick with a smile and soft with a touch for me
She's just a woman
Not the least or the most desired
But she sets one man's heart on fire
And it's me that she wants to please.

And in my eyes
God never made a more beautiful girl
In my eyes
There's no one more lovely in all of the world
And she looks at me at times with such surprise
When she sees how special she is in my eyes.

She's only human
And she cries sometimes when she looks in the mirror
And counts a new line that seemed to appear overnight
She's only human
It's not that she's vain, she's just afraid
That there'll come a time when I'll turn away at the sight
But I swear that's not right.

And in my eyes
She just grows lovelier to me
And in my eyes
She's only aging gracefully
And a thousand strands of gray won't disguise
The woman she'll always be in my eyes.

She's just a woman
Giving her love to only me
Without her help I would be less of a man
Than she thinks I am.

And in my eyes
Love never changes or pretends
In my eyes
Her mystery never ends
And everything I feel as years go by
Makes her love grow sweeter still in my eyes
In my eyes...



Dream Maker lyrics - Conway Twitty

You are my dream maker
Taking me places I've never been
Making me feel so alive again
Tell me that all of this will never end.

You are my dream maker
Chasing away all of my blues
With these dreams of me and you
Dream maker, make my dreams come true.

Dreams, beautiful dreams
Dreaming of two
I used to never have these kind of dreams till you
You came along
And painted my nights, with all your love.

You are my dream maker
Taking me places I've never been
Making me feel so alive again
Tell me that all of this will never end.

You are my dream maker
Chasing away all of my blues
With these dreams of me and you
Dream maker, make my dreams come true.

Nights, long, lonely nights
Wondering when
All my loneliness was ever gonna end
Then I saw you
Just one look, that's all it took.

You are my dream maker
Taking me places I've never been
Making me feel so alive again
Tell me that all of this will never end.

You are my dream maker
Chasing away all of my blues
With these dreams of me and you
Dream maker, make my dreams come true.

You are my dream maker
Taking me places I've never been
Making me feel so alive again
Tell me that all of this will never end...

"Southern Comfort" (1982)

Slow Hand lyrics - Conway Twitty

As the midnight moon was drifting through
The lazy sway of the trees
I saw the look in your eyes looking into the night
Not seeing what you wanted to see.

Darling, don't say a word I've already heard
What your body is saying to mine
You're tired of fast moves
You got a slow groove on your mind.

You want a man with a slow hand
You want a lover with an easy touch
You want somebody who will spend some time
Not come and go in a heated rush
Baby, believe me I understand
When it comes to love you want a slow hand.

Moon shadowed ground with no one around
And a blanket of stars in our eyes
Hey, we're drifting free like two losties
On the crazy wind of the night.

Darling don't say a word I've already heard
What your body is saying to mine
If you want all night you know it's alright
I've got time.

You've got a man with a slow hand
You've got a lover with an easy touch
You've got somebody who will spend some time
Not come and go in a heated rush
Baby, believe me I understand
When it comes to love you want a slow hand.

You want a lover with an easy touch
You've got somebody
Who will spend some time with you baby
Not come and go in a heated rush
Baby believe me I understand
When it comes to love you want a slow hand...

Clown lyrics - Conway Twitty

You love the way it makes me feel when I can't catch my breath
Like walkin' on a high wire, Lord, it scares me half to death
You're always high above me and I'm always fallin' down
Our love's just a circus baby, and I'm just the clown.

And I'll do tricks for you, just like you want me to
I'll do anything it takes just to hang around
I'll paint a smile for you to cover up my frown
'Cause our loves a circus and I'm just the clown.

Everyone's in love with you, but they just look at me and laugh
And I'll bet when they see me cry, they think it's just an act
Ah, but someday when it's over and we bring the big top down
You can say it was one big circus and I was just the clown.

And I'll do tricks for you, just like you want me to
I'll do anything it takes just to hang around
I'll paint a smile for you to cover up my frown
'Cause you love the circus, but you don't love the clown...

Boy Next Door lyrics - Conway Twitty

I've known you since you were a schoolgirl
Saw the smoke turn to fire in your eyes
From the window of my room
I watched a young girl bloom
Saw the woman in you come alive

Watched you fall in love a time or two
I saw you get hurt once or twice
And you'd come running over, cry on my shoulder
Sometimes I'd get to hold you all night

There in my arms you'd lay soft and warm
You never felt the writing on the wall
You never knew how I wanted you
I was the boy next door, that's all
Just the boy next door, that's all

I watched you drift away out of my reach
I never got to hold you again
And here in my heart is the saddest part
We'll never know how it might have been

There in my arms you'd lay soft and warm
I sure love to catch you when you fall
But you never knew how I wanted you
I was the boy next door, that's all
Just the boy next door, that's all

Do you ever think about me, honey?
The boy next door, that's all

Love And Only Love lyrics - Conway Twitty

Someone is lying next to me tonight
Wishing I was someone else and I'm wishing she was right
It's not her fault and it's not mine
We did the best we could
But it's love and only love
That makes the loving good.

We lie and say I love you to each other one more time
And all the while we force our smiles to tory to ease our minds
She's just like me; she had someone she'd go back if she could
'Cause it's love and only love that makes the loving good.

I cannot forget someone I left so long ago
Looking for some thrill I guess but what I just don't know
No I threw away the best I had
I never understood
That It's love and only love
That makes the loving good.

It's love and only love
That makes the loving good...

When Love Was Something Else lyrics - Conway Twitty

While she stands there
Staring in a mirror
He lays there
Sleeping through it all
She cries deep inside
Where he can't hear her
And turns to hide the tears
When they fall.

The years have only come between them
Memories fill the empty time that's left
But it only hurts her more to remember
When love was something else.

She combs her hair
Then quietly fluffs her pillow
As she lays down
She turns off the light
She collects her thoughts
And listens to the silence
While she lays awake alone again tonight.

The years have only come between them
Memories fill the empty time that's left
But it only hurts her more to remember
When love was something else.

When love was something else...

She Only Meant To Use Him lyrics - Conway Twitty

She was young and she was pretty
And she met him in the city
And somehow he fit right into her plan
She knew she hit it lucky
He owned half of Kentucky and best of all,
He was a sixty year old man.

She let him think he'd caught her
She led him to the alter
Totin' seven carats on her hand
All dressed up in satin
Aw' the good Lord wasted that one
But she knew she'd be the winner in the end.

'Cause she only meant to use him
She only meant to use him
And she didn't care if what she did was wrong
She only meant to use him
And she knew what she was doing
In a few years she'd be rich and he'd be gone.

In their million dollar palace
The man grew old and jealous
And he never let her leave the house alone
She was in her prime and holding
But she knew that he was old
And chances were he wouldn't be around that long.

As the days and nights grew longer
The greed in her grewstronger
And it even crossed her mind to take his life
But he found out he'd been taken
And his pride was badly shakened
And he knew she never meant to be a wife.

She only meant to use him
She only meant to use him
But she knew what she wanted in the end
She only meant to use him.
But he knew what she was doing
And he swore she'd never have a dime to spend.

Tormented by frustration
She watched her beauty wasting
As the lines upon her face began to show
She turned to heavy drinkin'
'Cause her ship was slowly sinking
And the bottle was the only place to go.

Now 20 odd years later
The headlines in the paper
Said they laid her soul to rest at 53
And when they wheeled him to her coffin
He took her diamond off
And he just smiled and finally died at 93.

She only meant to use him
Lord knows she meant to use him
But she died with seven carats on her hand
All dressed in satin
Aw' the good Lord wasted that one
But her husband died a satisfied old man.

She was young and she was pretty
And she met him in the city
And somehow he fit right into her plan
She knew she hit it lucky
He owned half of Kentucky and best of all,
He was a sixty year old man...

It Turns Me Inside Out lyrics - Conway Twitty

In a way I'm glad it's over,
Even though it's gonna hurt me once you're gone
I can learn to live without you,
Give me time and I can make it on my own.

Lovin' you to me came easy
Now losing you will change my life no doubt
And in a way I'm glad it's over,
In another way it turns me inside out.

In a way I guess it's better,
Even though there's nothing good about goodbye
And I know I couldn't hold you,
Now you've found your wings and you need room to fly.

And it's for sure I'm gonna miss you,
But I guess that's what goodbye is all about
And in a way I'm glad it's over,
But in another way it turns me inside out.

On the one hand I know
I'll be better off once you're gone,
But I find a lot of heartache on the other
And I can't say I'll look forward
To those nights I'll spend alone
And I wonder w! ill there ever be another.

Loving you to me came easy,
Now losing you will change my life no doubt
And in a way I'm glad it's over,
In another way it turns me inside out.

Yes, in a way I'm glad it's over,
But in another way it turns me inside out...

Southern Comfort lyrics - Conway Twitty

Well, I know a lady in Alabam'
And one or two in Louisian'
And when my troubles feel like the weight of the world
I go to the arms of those southern girls.

and get that Southern comfort Whenever my soul hurts
Southern comfort, It makes me feel so fine.

A Mississippi miss will set you free
And so will those ladies up in Tennessee
And if you ain't had yourself a Georgia kiss
You don't know what you have missed.

I love that southern comfort whenever my soul hurts
Southern comfort it makes me feel so fine.

So here's to the ladies with the soft Texas drawls
And all of those beauties in Arkansas
From up in Kentucky to Caroline,
I'll never get you off of my mind.

I love your southern comfort whenever my soul hurts
Southern comfort It makes me feel so fine.

I love your southern comfort Whenever my soul hurts
Southern comfort It makes me feel so fine.

So fine...

Something Strange Got Into Her Last Night lyrics - Conway Twitty

It was just another day
Going 'bout the same old way
As yesterday and all the days before
I got off work and went straight home
But this time I found her gone
Until three A.M. when she walked through the door.

And she was crying
Like her whole world had died
She kept turning away
She wouldn't look me in the eye
And she wouldn't let me hold her
To try to make everything alright
Something strange got into her last night.

As I dress for work I softly walk
Lord we sure do need to talk
But I guess I'll just stop at noon
And maybe call her on the phone
'Cause I suppose it's best
To just let her sleep and rest
But it's killing me wondering
If I've done something wrong.

'Cause she was crying
Like her whole world had died
She kept turning away
She wouldn't look me in the eye
And she wouldn't let me hold her
To try to make everything alright
Something strange got into her last night.

Something strange got into her last night...

I Was The First lyrics - Conway Twitty

I was the first to hold you in my arms so tight
I was the first to thrill you with a kiss goodnight
I was the first to stir your feelin's new and strange
I was the first and that's the one thing he can't change.

I was the first to take advantage of your youth
I was the first to whisper love words for the truth
I was the first to break your heart in two and yet
I was the first and I know that you can't forget.

He can't stop these feelings that keep runnin' through his mind
Things you couldn't help that happened long before his time
I know he won't admit it but it's true and Lord it hurts
To think that when he's lovin' you, I was the first.

I was the first to kiss your lips and hold your hand
I was the first to ever touch you as a man
I was the first to take your innocence then run
I was your first; I took a girl and made a woman.

We've already done the things that he's got on his mind
Things you couldn't help that happened long before his time
I know he won't admit it but it's true and Lord it hurts
To think that when he's lovin' you, I was the first.

I know he won't admit it but it's true and Lord it hurts
To think that when he's lovin' you, I was the first
Sometimes he wishes he was me 'cause I was the first
Lord, I'd give anything if I had only been the last...

Lovin' What Your Lovin' Does To Me lyrics - Conway Twitty

My heart was at a standstill
Your touch shook it up
You made me see what I've missed
Now I can't get enough.

I fit so right in your world
You set my heart on go
On the coldest day of winter
Lord, our love would melt the snow.

Our love is hotter than the fire that swept Chicago
Deeper than the Gulf of Mexico
Sweeter than the sugarcane way down in Louisiana
Here with you is where I want to be
I'm lovin' what your lovin' does to me.

Your love struck me
Like a bolt out of the blue
The first thing that I knew
I was givin' it all to you.

You make it happen
Whenever I'm with you
The longest day of summer
Couldn't warm me like you do.

Our love is stronger than the winds that hit Biloxi
Taller than the hills of Tennessee
More movin' than the earthquakes that shake up California
Here with you is where I want to be
I'm loving what your lovin' does to me.

Our love is hotter than the fire that swept Chicago
Deeper than the Gulf of Mexico
Sweeter than the sugarcane way down in Louisiana
Here with you is where I want to be
I'm lovin' what your lovin' does to me.

Our love is hotter than the fire that swept Chicago
Deeper than the Gulf of Mexico
Sweeter than the sugarcane way down in Louisiana
Here with you is where I want to be
I'm lovin' what your lovin' does to me...

I'd Rather Have What We Had lyrics - Conway Twitty

It used to be blue night, there in room 329
Over the river where we weren't well known
Now, it's two coffees then off to the office
And back to the driveway and sittin' at home

Sneaking around with me
Being tied down with me
Oh, which one would you rather have
Be honest

Dying to be with me
Watching TV with me
Is this what we wanted so bad?
I'd rather have what we had

We carefully planned it, what our hearts demanded
No more motel rooms, no more cheatin' lies
Now we're lookin' at it, a neatly wrapped package
But open it up and there's no surprise

Sneaking around with me
Being tied down with me
Oh, which one would you rather have
Be honest

Dying to be with me
Watching TV with me
Is this what we wanted so bad?
I'd rather have what we had

Right In The Palm Of Your Hand lyrics - Conway Twitty

A willin' woman
A willin' man
A five room house
And a wedding band
Believer, believer.

Once it begins
You know it don't take long
Til like two people in a heartbreak song
And wonder, I wonder.

Ain't it just like a woman
Yeah, and ain't it just like a man
Chasin' the rainbow and looking for love
When it's right in the palm of your hand.

We can't take back those things we said
So we watch it pass in seperate beds
Changing, were changing.
Too little love and too much pride
You won't give in and neither will I
We're like children, children.

Ain't it just like a woman
Yeah, and ain't it just like a man
Chasing the rainbow and looking for love
When it's right in the palm of your hand.

Feet on the floor, holding my head
Sitting alone on the edge of the bed
I been thinking, thinking.
Trying to find where we went wrong
I turned around Lord, and you were gone
It's over, it's over.

Ain't it just like a woman
Yeah, and ain't it just like a man
Chasing the rainbow and looking for love
When it's right in the palm of your hand.

Ain't it just like a woman
Oh, and ain't it just like a man
Chasing the rainbow and looking for love
When it's right in the palm of your hand.

Right in the palm of your hand.

Right in the palm of your hand...

Silent Partner lyrics - Conway Twitty

Let's do business, invest in you and me
I'm makin' you an offer that you can't refuse
You don't tell my woman and I won't tell your man
I guarantee you just can't lose

Yes, I'll be your silent partner
Undercover, secret style
Yes, I'll be your silent partner
(Silent partner)
I'll be your lover for awhile

Let's keep quiet and no need to publicize
No one knows what no one tells
And how 'bout me stayin' in the middle of the afternoon
And work out all the small details?

Yes, I'll be your silent partner
Undercover, secret style
Yes, I'll be your silent partner
(Silent partner)
Be your lover for awhile

We can profit once we organize
Keep our company on the side

Yes, I'll be your silent partner
(Silent partner, silent partner, silent partner)
Undercover secret style
Yes, I'll be your silent partner
(Silent partner)
Be your lover for awhile

Will you be my silent partner?
I'll keep it undercover [Incomprehensible]
Won't you be my silent partner?
(Silent partner, silent partner, silent partner)
Wanna be your lover for awhile

Won't you be my silent partner?
Undercover secret style
Will you be my silent partner?
(Silent partner,, silent partner, silent partner)

I Still Believe In Waltzes lyrics - Conway Twitty

I pushed him away and carefully said I'm just not that kinda girl
You might think I'm square
But you've been around in the ways of the world
I know that making is taking for granted
Its all easy come, easy go
He pulled me close, whispered, now darlin' there's something I want you to know

I still believe in waltzes, and girls with old fashioned ways
I still believe in love songs, in the good, in the good ole days
I've always liked happy endings, somebody's dream coming true
I still believe in waltzes and dancing the last one with you

He slipped into bed, I turned over and said
I'm worried your working so late
Is it just your job
that keeps you away, Lord
I know the temptations are gray
I'm just a wife, I'm just a momma
Its not too exciting I know
He pulled me close and whispered those same words that night long ago

I still believe in waltzes, and girls with old fashioned ways
I still believe in love songs, in the good, in the good ole days
I've always liked happy endings, somebody's dream coming true
I still believe in waltzes and dancing the last one with you

We still believe in waltzes...

We've Been Strong Long Enough lyrics - Conway Twitty

He's married to you, I'm not,
But that don't stop me from wantin' what he's got
So tonight, we'll take the time, the time for love
It may be wrong, but we've been long strong enough.

We've been strong long enough
For some time, we had in mind to be weak enough
That's the night we call each others bluff
Maybe wrong, but we've been strong long enough.

We'll, lay it all out on the line
You show me your love and I'll show you mine
And I'll remember things she's so forgetful of
It may be wrong, but we've been strong long enough.

We've been strong long enough
For some time, we had in mind to be weak enough
That's the night we call each others bluff
Maybe wrong, but we've been strong long enough.

She's married to you, I'm not
That don't stop me from wanting what she's got

Tonight's the night we'll call each others bluff
It may be wrong, but we've been strong long enough.

We've been strong long enough
For some time, we had in mind to be weak enough
That's the night we call each others bluff
Maybe wrong, but we've been strong long enough.

We've been strong long enough
For some time, we had in mind to be weak enough
That's the night we call each others bluff
Maybe wrong, but we've been strong long enough.

We've been strong long enough
For some time, we had in mind to be weak enough
That's the night we call each others bluff...

Cheatin' Fire lyrics - Conway Twitty

Cheatin' fire, it's gonna burn higher
Still we lay here in the ashes unconcerned
Every night the same ole thing, we just pour fuel on the flames
Before this cheatin' fire goes out someone'll get burned

Here we are again too far gone to gain control
And we can't find a way to kill the flame
We get lost in our love, don't know which way to turn
So we'll just build a fire and let it burn

Cheatin' fire, it's gonna burn higher
Still we lay here in the ashes unconcerned
Every night the same ole thing, we just pour fuel on the flames
Before this cheatin' fire goes out someone'll get burned

It doesn't feel so wrong 'cause the fires gone out at home
And right now this feeling's more than we can stand
We find we're just too weak to fight this strong desire
And tonight will build another cheatin' fire

Cheatin' fire, it's gonna burn higher
Still we lay here in the ashes unconcerned
Every night the same ole thing, we just pour fuel on the flames
Before this cheatin' fire goes out someone'll get burned

Cheatin' fire, it's gonna burn higher
(Cheatin' fire, higher and higher)
Still we lay here in the ashes unconcerned
Every night the same ole thing, we just pour fuel on the flames
Before this cheatin' fire goes out someone'll get burned

Cheatin' fire, it's gonna burn higher
(Cheatin' fire, higher and higher)
Still we lay here in the ashes unconcerned
Every night the same ole thing, we just pour fuel on the flames
Before this cheatin' fire goes out someone'll get burned

Cheatin' fire, it's gonna burn higher
(Cheatin' fire, higher and higher)
Still we lay here in the ashes unconcerned
Every night the same ole thing, we just pour fuel on the flames
Before this cheatin' fire goes out someone'll get burned

I Made You A Woman lyrics - Conway Twitty

I came to your wedding
Like you asked me to
So you would be sure that all is forgotten
Between me and you.

I could tell you remember
As our eyes met
I made you a woman
And that's hard to forget.

I made you a woman
A long time ago
And I know you're not sorry
Your eyes told me so.

Oh, I wanted to touch you
I could not help myself
I made you a woman
For somebody else.

I saw your lips tremble
As you said your vows
And I knew the meaning of every tear
That fell on your gown.

No one suspected
And I'll never tell
That I made you a woman
For somebody else.

I made you a woman
A long time ago
And I know you're not sorry
Your eyes told me so.

Oh, I wanted to touch you
I could not help myself
I made you a woman
For somebody else...
