Why Don't You Love Me


Well, [g] why don't you love me like you used to do
How come you treat me like a [d7] worn out shoe
My [g] hair's still curly and my [c] eyes are still blue
[g] why don't you love me like you [d7] used to [g] do.

Ain't had no [c] lovin' like a huggin' and a kissin'
In a [d7] long, long [g] while
We don't get nearer or further or closer
Than a country [d7] mile;

Why don't you spark me like you used to do
And say sweet nothin's like you used to coo
I'm the same old trouble that you've always been through
So, why don't you love me like you used to do.

Well, why don't you be just like you used to be
How come you find so many faults with me
Somebody's changed so let me give you a clue
Why don't you love me like you used to do.

Ain't had no lovin' like a huggin' and a kissin'
In a long, long while
We don't get nearer or further
Than a country mile;

Why don't you say the things you used to say
What makes you treat me like a piece of clay
My hair's still curly and my eyes are still blue
Why don't you love me like you used to do.

Hey Good Lookin'


Hey, [c] hey, good lookin', whatcha got cookin'
[d7] how's about cookin' [g7] somethin' up with [c] me ... [g7]
[c] hey, sweet baby, don't you think maybe
[d7] we could find us a [g7] brand new reci-[c] pe. ... [c7]

I got a [f] hot rod ford and a [c] two dollar bill
And [f] i know a spot right [c] over the hill
[f] there's soda pop and the [c] dancin's free
So if you [d7] wanna have fun come a-[g7] long with me.

Say [c] hey, good lookin', whatcha got cookin'
[d7] how's about cookin' [g7] somethin' up with [c] me.

I'm free and ready so we can go steady
How's about savin' all your time for me
No more lookin', i know i've been (*tooken)
How's about keepin' steady company.

I'm gonna throw my date book over the fence
And find me one for five or ten cents.
I'll keep it 'til it's covered with age
'cause i'm writin' your name down on ev'ry page.

Say hey, good lookin', whatcha got cookin'
How's about cookin' somethin' up with me.

Mind Your Own Business


If the [d] wife and i are fussin', brother that's our right
'cause me and that sweet woman's got a license to fight [d7]
Why don't you [g7] mind your own business
(mind [d] your own business)
'cause if mind [a7] your business, then you won't be mindin' [d] mine.

Oh, the woman on our party line's the nosiest thing
She picks up her receiver when she knows it's my ring
Why don't you mind your own business
(mind your own business)
Well, if mind your business, then you won't be mindin' mine.

If my woman stay out 'til two or three
Now, brother that's my headache, don't you worry 'bout me.
Just mind your own business
(mind your own business)
If mind your business, then you won't be mindin' mine.

If i get my head beat black and blue
Now that's my wife and my stove wood too
Just mind your own business
(mind your own business)
If mind your business, then you won't be mindin' mine.

I got a little gal that wears her hair up high,
The boys all whistel when she walks bye.
Mind your own buisness blah blah, you sure won't be minding mine.

Mindin' other people's business seems to be high-toned
I got all that i can do just to mind my own
Why don't you mind your own business
(mind your own business)
If you mind your own business, you'll stay busy all the time.

If You Loved Me half as much

Written by curley williams 1952


If you loved me just half as much as i love you
You wouldn't worry me half as much as you do
You're nice to me when there's no one else around
You only build me up to let me down

If you missed me half as much as i miss you
You wouldn't stay away half as much as you do
I know that i would never feel so blue
If you only loved me half as much as i love you
Repeat both verses
