Reba McEntire - Reba McEntire's Greatest Hits Album Lyrics

When our check bounces at the store
And the whole world seems at war
You bring me peace of mind once more
With just a little love

When the boss says I'm ten minutes late
And the stack of bills just won't wait
Oooh, you take the worries away
With just a little love

Just a little love
And affection
You bring a touch of perfection
To a world that's sometimes crazy
And so mixed up
Just a little love
You have changed me
You make me see why the good Lord made me
You can do miracles
With just a little love

When our old car won't run
And all my dreams come undone
You'll make it right won't ya hun
With just a little love

When it seems like the truth's all gone
When I try so hard to hold on
You make it easy to be strong
With just a little love

Just a little love
And affection
You bring a touch of perfection
To a world that's sometimes crazy
And so mixed up
Just a little love
You have changed me
You make me see why the good Lord made me
You can do miracles
With just a little love

Like a rare piece of crystal
Like a fine china cup
I kept your memory all safely locked up
Afraid I could never love somebody new
I was trying to save what I had left of you

Then he broke your memory last night
I felt it shatter inside
I guess he held me a little too right
He broke your memory last night

The moment he touched me with his gentle hands
Your memory crumbled like a house built on sand
He swept all the pieces of your love away
And then gave me his love to put in it's place

Cause he broke your memory last night
I felt it shatter inside
I guess he held me a little too right
He broke your memory last night
He broke your memory last night

How Blue (how Blue) can you make me
How long till I heal
How Can I go on loving you when you're gone
How Blue (How Blue) can I feel

Oh honey why did you leave me
Ain't you got a heart left in your chest
I swear to you that I'm dyin'
'Cause my mind won't let my body rest

How Blue (How Blue) can you make me
How long till I heal
How can I go on loving you when you're gone
How Blue (How Blue) can I feel

If I sink any lower I'll go under
If I cry anmore I'll go blind
No there ain't no relief for this missing you grief
How long can you torture my mind

How Blue (How Blue) can you make me
How long till I heal
How can I go on loving you when you're gone
How Blue (How Blue ) can I feel
How can i go on loving you when you're gone
How Blue (How Blue ) can I feel

It sure gets quiet
When the kids go to bed
We sit here inthe silence
Putting off what must be said

I read a book you watch T.V.
As our love dies quietly
I'm so sad I don't know what I've just read
(Chorus)
Somebody should leave
But which one should it be
You need the kids
And they need me
Somebody should leave
But we hate to give in
We keep hopin' somehow
We might need each other again

You say goodnight
And turn to face the wall
We lie here in the darkness
And the tears start to fall

If it was only you and me
Goodbye might come more easily
But what about
Those babies down the hall
(Repeat Chorus)

Somebody should leave
But we hate to give in

(Spoken) We just keep hopin we might need each other again

Well you look like the kind who's got an eye for a bargain
The kind of guy who likes to shop around
Well I got me this ole heart
That I'm putting on the market
And I'll make you a deal you can't turn down

Have I got a deal for you
A heart that's almost like brand new
And I'll let it go so cheap
You'll think you stole it 'fore you're through
Have I got a deal for you

Well you could search the whole world over
And never find another like it
It's got a built in lifetime guarantee
It's a one time only offer
And darling once you've tried it
You're gonna fall in love with it you'll see

Have I got a deal for you
A heart that's almost like brand new
And I'll let it go so cheap
You'll think you stole it 'fore you're through
Well,Have I got a deal for you

Well sure I'll admit that it's been used a time or two

But have I got a deal for you.

Oh on a park bench in the middle of July
We sat and watched the children play
If it was the heat or the noise
He didn't have too much to say

Then with a move of his eyes
A move that could have made the wind stand still
He took my hand in his and said the words
That I never will forget

He said have you ever cheated on me
Has there been someone else
Is there someone you love more than me
Someone you can't forget
If his memory is opened again
Let it be chased away by time
He said have you ever cheated on me
I said only in my mind

How can I tell him
The time we spent together
Was time between friends
There's just somethings I can talk about with you
That I can't just talk with him
How can I tell him
That somewhere in the cards it was meant for us to be
Why am I blushing in front of him now
Is it you or the heat

He said have you ever cheated on me
Has there been someone else
Is there someone you love more than me
Someone you can't forget
If his memory is opened again
Let it be chased away by time
He said have you ever cheated on me
I said only in my mind

Darling have you ever cheated on me
And I said only in my mind

You spend an awful lot of time in Massachutes
Seems Like every other week you've got a meeting waiting there
Business must be booming or could something else
Be moving in the air up there

You say that its important for our future
An executive on his way up has got to play the part
Each time duty calls you got to give it all
You've got with all your heart

When whoever's in New England is through with you
And Boston finds better things to do
You know its not too late 'cause you'll always have a place to come back to
When whoever's in New Englands through with you

I hear the winter time up north can last forever
And I've been told its beautiful to see this time of year
They say the snow can blind you till the world you left behind
Just disappears I hear

I've packed your bags and left them in the hallway
But before you leave again theres just one thing you outta know
When the icy winds blow through you remember that its me
Who feels the cold most of all

When whoever's in New England is through with you
And Boston finds better things to do
You know its not too late 'cause you'll always have a place to come back to
When whoever's in New Englands through with you

(Pat McManus, Bob DiPiero, Gerry House)

Well I'm married to the good life
I said I'd be a good wife
When I put on this ring
I drive a new Mercedes
I play tennis with the ladies
I buy all the finer things
But all that don't mean nothing
When you can't get a good night's loving

Chorus:
Oh little rock
Think I'm gonna have to slip you off
Take a chance tonight and untie the knot
There's more to life than what I've got
Oh little rock
You know this heart of mine just can't be bought
I'm gonna find someone who really cares a lot
When I slip off this little rock

Well I wonder if he'll miss me
He doesn't even kiss me
When he comes home at night
He never calls me honey
But he sure loves his money
And I'm the one who pays the price
But when he finds this ring he'll see
He keeps everything but me

Repeat Chorus x2

(Doug Gilmore, Bob Simon, Jim Allison)

The kid down the street mowes the grass every week
The neighbor next door fixed the roof where it leaked
Job's going fine and the bills are all paid
And everyone thinks that I'm doing OK

There's a guy down at work
He's asked me out once or twice
I haven't said yes
But I'm thinking I might
And on my way home I thought I saw you walk by
If only I could get you out of my mind

Chorus:
What in the world am I gonna do about you
Oh your memory keeps coming back
From out of the blue
Oh well I try
And I try
But I still can't believe that we're through
So tell me what in the world am I gonna do about you
What am I gonna do about you

I went to the store
But it wasn't much fun
It doesn't take long when you're shopping for one
Standing in line I thought I saw you walk in
And that's when it started all over again

Repeat Chorus

I would have waited forever
If I'd known that you'd be here
We could have shared our lives together
And held each other close all through the years
But I've met someone before you
And my heart just couldn't wait
So no matter how much I adore you
I've got to stand behind the promise that I made

Where were you
When I could have loved you
Where were you
When I gave my heart away
All my life I've been dreaming of you
You came along one promise too late
You came along one promise too late

I won't say that I'm sorry that I met you
I can't have you but I never will forget you

Where were you
When I could have loved you
Where were you
When I gave my heart away
All my life I've been dreaming of you
You came along one promise too late
You came along one promise too late

Where were you
When I could have loved you
Where were you
When I gave my heart away
All my life I've been dreaming of you
You came along one promise too late
You came along one promise too late
