You came from the city streets to my little country town Your spell is on my baby and you've got me sorrow bound You don't really love him you're playin' around for fun Woman of the world leave my world alone
You're the devil's woman that's what my man don't know Why I wear more in swimmin' than you wear to parties where you go There's a place I know where you should go for that's where you belong Woman of the world leave my world alone
I don't know about the things the bright lights taught to you
My country boy don't know them any better than I do I'll have to watch him hurtin' after you are gone Woman of the world leave my world alone
Well, I was born a coal miner's daughter, In a cabin, on a hill in butcher holler, We were poor, but we had love, That's the one thing daddy made sure of, He shoveled coal to make a poor man's dollar.
My daddy worked all night in the Van Lear Cole Mines, All day long in a field a-hoein' corn, Mommy rocked the babies at night, and read The Bible by the coal-oil light, And everything would start all over come break of mornin'.
Daddy loved and raised 8 kids on a miner' pay, Mommy scrubbed our clothes on a wash board every day, Why, I seen her fingers bleed, to complain, there was no need, She'd smile in mommy's understanding way.
In the summertime we didn't have shoes to wear, But in the winter time, we'd all get a brand new pair, From a mail-order catalog, money mad from selling a hog, Daddy all ways managed to get the money somewhere.
Yeah, I'm proud to be a coal miner's daughter, I remember well, the well where I drew water, The work we done was hard, at night we'd sleep 'cause we were tired, I never thought of leavin' Butcher Holler.
Well, a lot of things have changed since way back then, And it's so good to be back home again, Not much left but the floor, nothin' lives here anymore, 'Cept the memories of a coal miner's daughter.
Once I made a promise that I'd never lead you on But I feel the yearn to love you even though I know it's wrong You'll have to take my hand and lead me slowly through the door I'll be wrong in what I'm doin' I can't refuse you anymore Lead me on and take control of how I feel I can't do this on my own cause it's against my will I need love warm and tender in a way I've never known If you want me I'll go with you but you'll have to lead me on [ steel ] Lead me on and take control...
They say to have her hair done Liz flies all the way to France And Jackie's seen in a discotheque doin' a brand new dance And the White House social season should be glittering and gay But here in Topeka the rain is a fallin' The faucet is a drippin' and the kids are a bawlin' One of them a toddlin' and one is a crawlin' and one's on the way I'm glad that Raquel Welch just signed a million dollar pact And Debbie's out in Vegas workin' up a brand new act While the TV's showin' Newlyweds a real fun game to play But here in Topeka the screen door's a bangin' The coffee's boilin' over and the wash needs a hangin' One wants a cookie and one wants a changin' and one's on the way Now what was I doin' Jimmy get away from there darn there goes the phone Hello honey what's that you say you're bringin' a few ole buddies home You're callin' from a barn get away from there No not you honey I was talkin' to the baby wait a minute honey the door bell Honey could you stop at the market and hello hello well I'll be The girls in New York City they all march for women's lib And Better Homes and Gardens shows the modern way to live And the pill may change the world tomorrow but meanwhile today Here in Topeka the flies are a buzzin' The dog is a barkin' and the floor needs a scrubbin' One needs a spankin' and one needs a huggin' Lord one's on the way Oh gee I hope it ain't twins again
I've seen him as he awakens in the morning He reaches out his hand and without a word As his fingers softly fall upon my face He lights the flame of desire and makes me want him
And love is the foundation we lean on All you need is love to ease your mind And does it have to be right to be called love When he gives me more loving Then a lifetime of looking could ever find
And love is the foundation we lean on All you need is love to ease your mind And does it have to be right to be called love When he gives me more loving Then a lifetime of looking could ever find

There's trouble in paradise I can see it and I know the signs so well I know he's out there and around it every day
There's trouble but there won't be long 'Cause in the morning it'll all be gone Long gone, 'cause Lord I'm gonna love him Till the devil goes away
Now I know about those devil women They'll set your lovers head to spinning And she's a demon she wants control But she ain't taken my mans soul She ain't taken my mans soul

There's trouble but there won't be long 'Cause in the morning it'll all be gone Long gone, 'cause Lord I'm gonna love him Till the devil goes away
There's trouble in paradise Lord I'm gonna love him Till the devil goes away
Sometimes at night while you're fast asleep I lie there alone in the darkness and weep So sorry and sad but that's part of the deal when the tingle becomes a chill I never wanted to stop loving you I'll swear by the breath in my body that's true Ah but a woman can't help the way that she feels when the tingle becomes a chill
You're so contented but for me it's all gone And though I pretend you just don't turn me on The body performs but the soul has no will when the tingle becomes a chill I never wanted to stop loving you...

Lyin' alone in this big old bed I got you on my mind I said when you left I could make it by myself But it gets harder all the time And I can't take it no more I see your face Every time I close my eyes So I'm goin' out now And I'm lookin' for you Some winter night
I want you out of my head And back in my bed Before the mornin' sun comes up I can't stand another night Without holdin' me tight How I miss your lovin' touch I'm goin' searchin' Everywhere that a you might be When I find you I'm a bringin' you home with me I want you out of my head And back in my bed Before the mornin' comes
Well I might find somebody new To share my misery But no other man Can do what you can When it comes to lovin' me I don't want nobody to say that I was a fool For bein' cool I won't be satisfied till you're back in my arms And I'm lovin' you
I want you out of my head And back in my bed Before the mornin' sun comes up I can't stand another night Without you holdin' me tight How I miss your lovin' touch I'm goin' searchin' Everywhere that a you might be And when I find you I'm a bringin' you home with me I want you out of my head And back in my bed Before the mornin' comes
I want you out of my head And back in my bed Before the mornin' sun comes up I can't stand another night Without you holdin me tight How I miss your lovin' touch I'm goin' searchin' Everywhere that a you might be FADES- A when I find you I'm a bringin' you home with me I want you out of my head And back in my bed Before the mornin' comes
I've got your picture that you gave to me And it's signed With Love just like it used to be The only thing different the only thing new I've got your picture she's got you I've got the records that we used to share
And they still sound the same as when you were here The only thing different the only thing new I've got the records she's got you I've got your memory or has it got me I really don't know But I know it won't let me be
I've got your class ring that proved you'd care And it still looks the same as when you gave it dear The only thing different the only thing new I've got these little things she's got you I've got your memory
There's no reason to look at me that way Old memories won't let my love stay Your touch just leads me to an open door And when he touches me, I can't feel you anymore
When he touches me, I can't feel you anymore He touches me with so much love I never felt before Goodbye's on the tip of my tongue But now that leaving you has come And when he touches me, I can't feel you anymore
You're so late with your new plans for two He had lots of nights to love me away from you But the first time that he touched me I was sure When he touches me I can't feel you anymore
When he touches me, I can't feel you anymore He touches me with so much love I never felt before Goodbye's on the tip of my tongue And now that leaving you has come And when he touches me, I can't feel you anymore
