DUMB BLONDE

(Curly Putman) « © '66 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Don't try to fly your way out of this
Don't try to lie or I catch you in it
Don't try to make me feel sorry for you
Just because I'm blonde don't think I'm dumb
Cause this dumb blond ain't nobody's fool

When you left you thought I'd sit you thought I'd wait
You thought I'd cry you called me dumb blonde
Ah but somehow I live through it and you know
If there's one thing This blonde has learned
Blondes have more fun
You flew too high off of the ground
Pick stormy weather had to come back down
But I found new thread for my old spool
Just because I'm blonde don't think I'm dumb
Cause this dumb blond ain't nobody's fool
[ steel ] When you left you thought...

YOUR OLE HANDY MAN

(Dolly Parton) « © '67 Combine Music, BMI »
I have to mow the lawn and I have to wash the car
And I just like to know just who you think you are
I'm gettin' tired of waggin' that old heavy garbage can
Your woman's gettin' tired of bein' your ole handy man

I have to run your water and I have to wash your back
And I have to strop your razor after you have had your bath
You're helpless as a baby but I love you understand
I'm just gettin' tired of bein' your ole handy man

Your woman's gettin' tired of bein' your ole handy man
Now I know you got ten fingers right where's your helping hand
Ah I've just made a decision after all I'm gonna stand
Your woman's gettin' tired of bein' your ole handy man
[ ac.guitar ] I do everything for you you never help yourself
And I think I die from shock if you raise a hand to help
Well I might gonna keep it up just what you've got planned
Your woman's gettin' tired of bein' your ole handy man

Your woman's gettin' tired of bein'...
Your woman's gettin' tired of bein' your ole handy man

I DON'T WANT TO THROW RICE

(Dolly Parton - Bill Owens) « © '67 Combine Music, BMI »
She married the one I love today
When my back was turned she took him away
Now while they're all outside waiting to throw rice
What I want to throw will surely black her eyes

Cause I don't want to throw rice I want to throw rocks at her
She took the only love I had
No I don't want to throw rice I want to throw rocks at her
It would be a way to hurt her cause she hurt me so bad
[ piano - steel ] Well I've never stole nothing in my life
But if I get the chance I'll steal him from his wife
Cause all is fair in love and war maybe I'm carrying this too far
But I feel like tying dynamite to her side of the car

No I don't want to throw rice...

PUT IT OFF UNTIL TOMORROW

(Dolly Parton - Bill Owens) « © '66 Combine Music, BMI »
(Put it off until tomorrow oh oh)
You've hurt me enough today

You say our love is over that you have found another
You say you're going away
But leave me tomorrow oh oh you've hurt me enough today

You've hurt me enough today I can't believe the words you say
But I must accept the fact you won't be coming back

Oh stay stay just one more day loneliness isn't far away
Put it off until tomorrow oh oh you've hurt me enough today
Put it off until tomorrow oh oh you've hurt me enough today

I WASTED MY TEARS

(Dolly Parton - Bill Owens) « © '64 Combine Music, BMI »
(I wasted my tears when I cried over you)
I wasted my tears when I cried over you
I should've known you would never be true
I loved and I lost you now I'm so blue
I wasted my tears when I cried over you

You said that you loved me and would always be true
Now you've gone and left me oh what will I do
Oh why did you leave me for somebody new
I wasted my tears when I cried over you

(I wasted my tears wasted my tears over you)
I wasted my time when I spent it with you
But one is so blind when love is so new
Now all of my fears have come true
I wasted my tears when I cried over you
I wasted my tears when I cried over you

THERE'S SOMETHING FISHY GOIN' ON

(Dolly Parton) « © '66 Combine Music, BMI »
There must be something fishy goin' on

You said you were goin' on a fishing trip with some old friend
You said that you'd be home tonight somewhere around ten
Well here it is it's two o'clock and you're still not at home
I think there's something fishy goin' on

I think that I'm a sucker that's swallowing your line
I try to make myself believe that it's all in my mind
But you never ask me if I'd like to go along
So there must be something fishy goin' on

There's something fishy goin' on on these fishing trips you're goin' on
I'm gettin' tired of staying home alone
Some night when you come home and discover that I'm gone
You can bet there's something fishy goin' on

I guess some large-mouth bass left that lipstick on your shirt
I don't think you're a fisherman honey I think you're a flirt
Well if you're going fishing then why don't you bring them home
I think there's something fishy goin' on

There's something fishy goin' on...
Yes you can bet there's something fishy goin' on

FUEL TO THE FLAME

(Dolly Parton - Bill Owens) « © '67 Combine Music, BMI »
(Fuel to the flame)
You kindle the fire of love inside me each time our lips meet
I'm not strong when we're alone your kisses make me weak
You must know how I feel but do you feel the same
Every time you kiss me you add fuel to the flame

My eyes light up when I see you I burn with desire
Each time you're near you say you care but still I'm not sure
But please don't ask me to love you if you're not gonna change my name
Every time you touch me you add fuel to the flame

This fire you started inside of me has reached my very soul
You're adding fuel to a flame that's already burning out of control
When you give me your name I'll give you everything
Everytime you kiss me you add fuel to the flame
Yes everytime you touch me you add fuel to the flame

GIVING AND THE TAKING

(Dolly Parton - Bill Owens) « © '66 Combine Music, BMI »
I gave all the giving and I took all the taking

I gave all my love to you and I took all your hurt
I treated you so good but you treated me like dirt
They say love is give and take now my poor heart is breaking
I gave all the giving and I took all the taking

I always gave you everything that I knew how to give
You always took advantage of me you knew I would forgive
I treated you too good for my own good now I'm alone and left forsaken
I gave all the giving and I took all the taking

The giving and the taking have caused my heart to break
I've given all that I can give and I've taken all that I can take
[ guitar ] The giving and the taking have caused...

I'M IN NO CONDITION

(Dolly Parton) « © '67 Combine Music, BMI »
Don't look at me with love in your eyes
Go look at somebody that can make it worth while
I'm hurtin' from a love affair I didn't want in
Now I'm in no condition to try to love again

Don't smile at me because it's no use
I don't have a smile but I can give to you
Someday you might look me up but let me be till then
For I'm in no condition to try to love again

I'm in no condition to try to love again
The man I love just broke my heart and it must have time to mend
He gave me the breeze now he's gone with the wind
Now I'm in no condition to try to love again
[ steel ] I'm in no condition to try to love again...
No I'm in no condition to try to love again

COMPANY YOU KEEP

(Dolly Parton - Bill Owens) « © '66 Combine Music, BMI »
Yes you're known by the company you keep

You say you're doing nothing wrong and I don't believe you are
I'm only tryin' to help you sis before you go too far
Cause I think you're an angel but folks think that you cheat
Cause you're known by the company you keep

Please listen to your big sister I feel I know what's best for you
I feel that I must warn you that's the least that I can do
I'm not accusing you of anything I know it's fun you see
But you're known by the company you keep

The company you keep keeps you out too long
Mom and dad don't go to sleep until you get home
Sis you're gettin' in too deep you'd better look before you leave
Cause you're known by the company you keep

Sis you're gettin' in too deep the road of life is steep
And you're known by the company you keep

I'VE LIVED MY LIFE

(Lola Jean Dillon) « © '67 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I've lived my life and I'm only eighteen

I left the country for the city
Thought I was smart but I was silly
I should have known I'd get in trouble bein' so green
I've lived my life and I'm only eighteen

I met a boy and learned to love him
I would have done anything for him
I've loved him more than anything I've ever seen
I've lived my life and I'm only eighteen

Only eighteen but it's all over
I ruined my life to please my lover
I made him happy he made me cry then said goodbye
I've lived my life and I'm only eighteen
[ steel ] Only eighteen but it's all over...
I've lived my life and I'm only eighteen

LITTLE THINGS

(Dolly Parton - Bill Owens) « © '66 Combine Music, BMI »
You never send me flowers or ever buy me candy
You never bring me pretty things when you come to see me
And you forgot my birthday oh I wish you could see
How I miss the little things that you don't do for me

You never say that I look nice or that you're proud of me
You overlook the little things that you should see
These little things are big enough to hurt
But too small to make me want to leave
But I do miss the little things that you don't do for me

Now how can I miss flowers that never reached my door
How can I taste candy that's still at the candy store
These little things mean a lot to me to you they may be silly
But I do miss the little things that you don't do for me
Yes I miss the little things that you don't do for me
