Reba McEntire - Whoever's in New England Album Lyrics

I can't say I didn't know what I was doin'
I can't pretend things just got outta hand
I shoulda kept my distance
While I was still strong
But I got caught up in the feelin'
Carried along and it's
Too late baby
I can't stop now

Well I walked right in with my eyes wide open (I did)
And I was blind when you told me
You'd be mine just as soon as you were free
I should have kept my distance
While I was still strong
But I got caught up in the feelin'
Carried along and it's
Too late baby
I can't stop now

Can't stop now
Crazy heart's runnin' outta control
Can't stop now
And I'll be falling apart somewhere down the road
I might be headed for a breakdown
But I can't stop now

Now I've never been in with the fast crowd
I've never been closer than just a little over the line
I know those nights I'd find great temptations
I go home to bed alone
Pull the covers up over my mind

I let it go by and said I'd save my feelings
But until I met you
I hardly used them at all
I should say no
Oh whoah I don't want to
Honey you will be the first one
To watch this angel fall

So you can take the wings off me
Lay them down so carefully
Hold me close tonight you'll see
I am yours and you can take the wings off me

Oh you can take the wings off me
Oh lay them down so carefully
Oh I should say no
Oh whoah I don't want to
I am yours and you can take the wings off me

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

Now when you left everybody told me
That I'd find another to take the place of you
And they all said someone else would hold me
And I'd have a lover to love like I loved you

I'll believe it when I feel it
When somebody makes me feel the way you did
They say he's out there
They tell me someday I'll forget
I'll believe it when I feel it
But I haven't felt it yet

I've heard in time
Time is going to heal me
It's been forever
And I still need you now
Maybe I will someday find that feeling
We had together
Oh but I've got my doubts

I'll believe it when I feel it
When somebody makes me feel the way you did
They say he's out there
They tell me someday I'll forget
I'll believe it when I feel it
But I haven't felt it yet

I'll believe it when I felt
But I haven't felt it yet

The sun is shining down
There's not one cloud around
Morning hits me
Where I lay

Everything is green
A perfect day it seems
Yeah he's got everything his way
Oh but I've seen better days
I've seen better days

When the rain was pouring down
And he had his loving arms wrapped around me
I've seen better days

The neighbors come and go
They smile and wave hello
And all the kids are out to play

Lollipops and good times
They look so much like mine
But he has taken mine away
Oh and I've seen better days
Lord I've seen better days

When the rain was pouring down
And they had their little arms wrapped around me
I've seen better days

Oh Lord I miss 'em
I've seen better days

(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

So here you are again
Standing at my door
You know I'll understand
Well that's what friends are for

So what's he done this time
What did he say
To make you so darn mad
That you're running away
Now you say you want to be like me
Independent and free

But if you only knew
What a single girl goes through
The long working days and the lonely nights
The empty I love you's
Oh if you only knew what it's like to be alone
You'd put your anger down
Turn around and go back home

Well my life looks good to you
I'm always in control
No one to answer to
But no one there to hold
You see in my eyes you are the lucky one
With loving arms that you can lean upon
I'd give anything I could to save
What you're throwing away

Cause if you only knew
What a single girl goes through
The long working days and the lonely nights
The empty I love you's
Oh if you only knew what it's like to be alone
You'd put your anger down
Turn around and go back home

I know it's hard to face but love ain't perfect everyday
And I know a hundred girls who would gladly take your place

Oh if you only knew
What a single girl goes through
The long working days and the lonley nights
The empty I love you's
Oh if you only knew what it's like to be alone
You'd put your anger down
Turn around and go back home

You'd put your anger down
Turn around and go back home
If you only knew

Your mind's made up
You're gonna leave
Nothing I can say will stop you so it seems
But before you up and go
There's just something you should know
When you find that I'm the one you still need

One thin dime
Is all it takes
When you need someone who cares
These arms of mine
Are always open
One thin dime is all you need
And I'll be there

Oh you're chasing rainbows and I understand
When you're through I'll take you back again
I'll be waiting patiently
For when you come back to me
Ain't nobody else can love you like I can

One thin dime
Is all it takes
When you need someone who cares
These arms of mine
Are always open
One thin dime is all you need
And I'll be there

You know the number
I'm always home
So honey just pick up and dial that telephone
When this world treats you unkind
Get your momma on the line
There ain't no need for you to ever be alone

One thin dime
Is all it takes
When you need someone who cares
These arms of mine
Are always open
One thin dime is all you need
And I'll be there

These arms of mine
Oh they're always open
One thin dime is all you need
And I'll be there

These hands
You can hold them all night if you want to
And these lips
Won't mind your kisses
No they don't care
You can lay your head on my shoulder
Maybe even get a little bolder
But when it comes to my heart
Don't touch me there

Oh these arms
You can wrap around you gently
And your fingers
You can run them through my hair
But there's one place that's off bounds
From the last time love came 'round
When it comes to my heart
Don't touch me there

Last time I gave my heart so freely then
He broke it so completely
And even now it's more then I can bear
But someday I know I'll try again
Someday oh but until then
When it comes to my heart
Don't touch me there

Oh these hands you can hold them all night if you want to
And these lips won't mind your kisses
No they don't care
You can lay your head on my shoulder
Or maybe even get a little bolder
But when it comes to my heart
Don't touch me there

Oh when it comes to my heart
Don't touch me there

Of all the broken hearts I've had
This one hurts the worst
His love flowed like a river
I'm dying of thirst
If loving him too much is why
I lost him in the end
Well I hope I can live long enough
To make that same mistake again

Well they say that love can be so strong there is a choking kind
I never thought I'd see the day when love would be a crime
Mistakes can cost a lot and yes
Sometimes we lose to win
Oh I hope I can live long enough
To make that same mistake again

Oh I may go crazy missing him
Knowing it's my fault
Oh how could I have loved him less
Oh I tremble at the thought
It's amazing how I'm holding on
With the shape I'm in
Oh I hope that I can live long enough
To make that same mistake again
