Sweet Georgia Brown

She just got here yesterday, Things are hot here now they say, There's a new gal in town. Gals are jealous, there's no doubt. All the guys just rave about Sweet, Sweet Georgia Brown. And ever since she came, the common folks all claim, say; [Chorus] No gal made has got a shade on Sweet Georgia Brown. Two left feet, but oh, so neat has Sweet Georgia Brown. They all sigh and wanna die for Sweet Georgia Brown, I'll tell you just why, you know I don't lie (not much!). It's been said she knocks 'em dead when she lands in town. Since she came why it's a shame how she's cooled 'em down. Fellas that she can't get must be fellas that she ain't met. Georgia claimed her, Georgia named her, Sweet Georgia Brown. All you gals will get the blues, All you pals will surely lose. And, there's but one excuse. Now I've told you who she was, And I've told you what she does, Still, give this gal her dues. This pretty maiden's prayer is answered anywhere [Chorus] No gal made has got a shade on Sweet Georgia Brown. Two left feet, but oh, so neat has Sweet Georgia Brown. They all sigh and wanna die for Sweet Georgia Brown, I'll tell you just why, you know I don't lie (not much!). All those tips the porter slips to Sweet Georgia Brown They buy clothes at fashion shows for one dollar down. Fellas, won'tcha tip your hats. Oh boy, ain't she the cats? Who's that mister, tain't her sister, It's Sweet Georgia Brown.

Dear Georgia I couldn't make my way to California I just needed something a little closer than too far Just a county line apart We're wishing on the same old small-town stars And I'm sorry If I ever turned my back on anybody Wasn't worth it looking back on all the parties that I've been And all the places that I went So, I wrote this song for you and all my friends, yeah Oh, ain't nothing but one interstate road From anywhere we wanna call home And right now, it's Tennessee But no matter where I go, you'll always be My dear Georgia Dear Georgia Well, I miss ya Yeah, I'm rollin' right through nowhere West Virginia And I keep thinking about you lately And I meant to tell you how much I wish I was there right now Close my eyes and see the pines that lead me on my way back south Oh, ain't nothing but one interstate road From anywhere we wanna call home And right now, it's Tennessee But no matter where I go, you'll always be My dear Georgia Oh, ain't nothing but one interstate road From anywhere we wanna call home And right now, it's Tennessee No matter where I go, you'll always be Oh, ain't nothing but one interstate road From anywhere we wanna call home And right now, it's Tennessee But no matter where I go, you'll always be My dear Georgia Dear Georgia

Yeah, yeah I'm not goin' to take that from you Georgia Take me back there (Georgia, Georgia) Georgia, oh Georgia No peace I find Just an old sweet song Keep Georgia on my mind (thank you brother Ray) Georgia (Georgia), I love you Georgia (Georgia), well Song of you Comes so sweet and clear Like the moonlight through the pines Ooohh Other arms reach out to me Help me soul, you know the eyes will smile tenderly But still, still peaceful dreams I don't see The road leads back to you, leads back I love you Georgia (Georgia) Georgia, Georgia Georgia, preach again Mr. Ken Gabriel Ken (Old sweet songs)

As long as he needs me... Oh, yes, he does need me... In spite of what you see... ...I'm sure that he needs me. Who else would love him still When they've been used so ill? He knows I always will... As long as he needs me. I miss him so much when he is gone, But when he's near me I don't let on... ...The way I feel inside. The love, I have to hide... The hell! I've got my pride As long as he needs me. He doesn't say the things he should. He acts the way he thinks he should. But all the same, I'll play This game His way. As long as he needs me... I know where I must be. I'll cling on steadfastly... As long as he needs me. As long as life is long... I'll love him right or wrong, And somehow, I'll be strong... As long as he needs me. If you are lonely Then you will know... When someone needs you, You love them so. I won't betray his trust... Though people say I must. I've got to stay true, just As long as he needs me.

He doesn't act as though he cares. But deep inside I know he cares, and that is why i'm tied, right by his side. As long as he needs me, I know where I must be. But will he never see, that someone else needs me. As long as life is long, I'll love him right or wrong, but he's so big and strong, and someone else needs me. A child, with noone to take his part. I'll take his part Bill but cross my heart, I won't betray your trust though people say I must, my heart will stay true just. As long as Bill needs me.

This is the moment when the gods expect me To beg for help but I won't even try I want nothing in this world but myself to protect me But I won't lie down, roll over and die All I have to do is to forget how much I love him All I have to do is put my longing to one side Tell myself that love's an ever-changing situation Passion would have cooled and all the magic would have died It's easy, it's easy All I have to do is to pretend I never knew him On those very rare occasions when he steals into my heart Better to have lost him when the ties were barely binding Better the contempt of the familiar cannot start It's easy, It's easy Until I think about him as he was when I last touched him And how he would have been were I to be with him today Those very rare occasions don't let up they keep on coming All I ever wanted and I'm throwing it away It's easy, it's easy as life But then I see the faces of a worn, defeated people A father and a nation who won't let a coward run Is this how the gods reward the faithful through the ages? Forcing us to prove the hardest things we've done Are easy So easy And though I'll think about him 'til the earth draws in around me And though I choose to leave him for another kind of love This is no denial, no betrayal but redemption Redeemed in my own eyes and in the pantheon above It's easy It's easy as life It's easy as life It's easy as life
