- A Slightly Used Woman
Down the street on the right there's a house painted white
It's a mansion as fit for a queen
Swimming pool in the back limousine long and black
Pretty flowers on a lawn soft and clean
There's a fountain so fine a waterfall with clean water
A dollhouse with toys on the floor
There's a seesaw that's new and a swing painted blue
- Bedtime Story
I've told you almost every bedtime story
And you've heard almost every nursery rhyme
So tonight before you'll go to sleep
And pray the Lord your soul to keep
Here's Mommy's favorite story one more time
Once upon a time there was a castle
And in this castle lived a king and queen
- Broadminded
"Broadminded"
Broadminded I just don't understand
A broadminded narrowminded man a broadminded narrowminded man
Every night I catch you sleepin' with a smile on your face
And calling names that I don't even know
Dear the call of Pat or Gracy and drink down at Stacey's
- Buy Me A Daddy
I buy toys for my little girl almost every day
To try and keep her happy since her daddy went away
But today she looked so lonely as she climbed upon my knees
And in her sweet tiny voice she said this to me
"Mommy, I love you and all of my toys
But I want a daddy like the other girls and boys"
Then she gave me her pennies, her nickels and dimes
- Dear Daughters
Dear daughters
Gwen, you're my oldest and you're quite a lady
You're my only blue eyed girl and you turn sixteen in April
And you sure made a change in my world
I'm sorry I missed the big evening, your first date and I wasn't around
Save all the secret things you did and tell me when I get to town
And on your graduation I wanted pictures to look back on
- DIVORCE
Our little boy is four years old and quite a little man
So we spell out the words we don't want him to understand
Like T-O-Y or maybe S-U-R-P-R-I-S-E
But the words we're hiding from him now
Tear the heart right out of me.
Our D-I-V-O-R-C-E becomes final today
Me and little J-O-E will be goin' away
- Don't Touch Me
Your hand is like a torch each time you touch me that look in your eyes pulls me apart
Don't open the door to heaven if I can't come in
Oh don't touch me if you don't love me sweetheart
Your kiss is like a drink when I'm thirsty
Oh and I'm thirsty for you with all my heart
But don't love me then act as though we never kissed
Oh don't touch me if you don't love me sweetheart
Now don't give me something that you might take way
- Don't Touch Me 1967
Your hand is like a torch each time you touch me that look in your eyes pulls me apart
Don't open the door to heaven if I can't come in
Oh don't touch me if you don't love me sweetheart
Your kiss is like a drink when I'm thirsty
Oh and I'm thirsty for you with all my heart
But don't love me then act as though we never kissed
Oh don't touch me if you don't love me sweetheart
Now don't give me something that you might take way
- For The Kids
You work like a slave for the kids
And I'd go to my grave for the kids
But we watched our love fade as we suffered the same
With this bargain we made for the kids
Yes, divorce is a curse for the kids
But this tention's much worse for the kids
- Have A Little Faith
Your best friend, your best girl
Just made a big mess of your world
'Cause arm in arm they left you feelin' blue
She set a trap, you got caught
you should a took her with a grain of salt
So have a little faith and love will come to you.
So she's leaving for somebody new
- He Knows All The Ways To Love
He gives me love I thought I'd never find
Treats me like a baby all the time
He shows affections in so many ways
And it fills my heart with love each day
He's not like a lot of men I known
Take me with him everywhere he goes
I feel like a woman by his side
- He Loves Me All The Way
Sometimes when he comes home, I'm cookin' breakfast
I haven't slept a wink all night long
I've been layin' in bed, thinkin' like a woman
Wonderin' if my man's been doin' me wrong
To think he might be out with another woman
Makes my temper rise with jealousy
But all these years, I've never caught him cheatin'
- He'll Never Take The Place Of You
Sure he gives me everything I ask for a kind of love that I never knew
And every night he comes home at the same time
But he'll never ever take the place of you
He kisses me goodbye every morning does the little things you've always used to do
But no matter how he tries it ain't the same thing
Cause he'll never ever take the place of you
- He's Still My Man
My man can make my heart feel sad
He runs around and that makes me feel bad
And when he's at his fun he comes in with the rising sun
Looks at me, says, ''Honey don't be mad.''
But I'll take the bitter with sweet
And cherish the love I get each time we meet
'Cause when he holds me tight I tell him, ''Everything's all right.''
- I Almost Forgot
So we meet again
How long has it been?
Sure, I still think of you
Every now and then.
My, you're lookin' good
Somehow I knew that you still would
Lord, I'm missin' you right now
More than I ever thought I could.
- I Don't Think About Him No More
You know, I don't think much about him no more
And seldom if ever does he cross my mind
Yesterday's gone, for it's better forgotten
Like the poison red berries to die, on the vine
This morning at dawn Lord I pulled into town
Had some coffee and talked with some old friends of mine
Laughing at the good times they remembered
- I Don't Want To Play House
I Don't Wanna Play House
(Billy Sherrill/Glenn Sutton)
Today I sat alone at the window
And I watched our little girl outside at play
With the little boy next door like so many times before
But something didn't seem quite right today
- I Wish I Had A Mommy Like You
There lives a little boy in the house next door to me
And as usual his mommy was gone
So he came over this morning and sat down next to me
And asked why does mommy leave me alone
But he'll find out someday why his mommy stays away
And why a woman needs arms to hold her tight
And that she would stay at home and not leave him all alone

- Kiss Away
Kiss away, kiss away
Guess that's all that's left to say
Please come back
And kiss these tears away.
Smile again, let me smile again
Make this life worth livin' again
Please come back
- Stand By Your Man
Sometimes its hard to be a woman
Giving all your love to just one man
You'll have bad times
And he'll have good times
Doing things that you don't understand
But if you love him you'll forgive him
Even though he's hard to understand
And if you love him
