Written by Bobby Winstead I want you so I need you so I love you so But you don't know I feel so blue Please tell me true What should I do To get to you? You're many miles away And I'm lonesome night and day We'll meet again I pray So I can try to say I want you so I need you so I love you so But you don't know I'll cross the great divide To have you by my side When you first said goodbye I cried and I cried

Written by Bobby Winstead I have been so bent out of shape Since you said we made a mistake I have been so bent out of shape Since you said goodbye I thought we were doing just fine I was yours, I thought you were mine Then you said too much had gone wrong It wasn't meant to last I once had a heart with a steady beat I could stand firmly on my feet I could lie down and fall asleep Till you turned me away I have been so bent out of shape Since you said we made a mistake I have been so bent out of shape Since you said goodbye

Written by Bobby Winstead I won't give up trying to win your heart If I made you mine we'd never part I want you to love me sure and true So I'm fighting tooth and nail for you CHORUS I'm fighting tooth and nail for you There is nothing that I wouldn't do I'll go toe to toe with I don't care who Fighting tooth and nail for you I can't seem to get a minute with you There's a crowd around you that I must get through I won't let up till it's down to just us two Fighting tooth and nail for you I will fight for you with all my might I'll do what it take both day and night I'll keep fighting till I'm black and blue Fighting tooth and nail for you

Written by Bobby Winstead I've been up all night, down all day Just when I thought your love would come my way You turned and burned me, made me cry Said you'd rather be with another guy Now I'm up all night, down all day Night are long and the skies are gray For a fool like me it's hopeless To get you off my mind Darling when I met you I knew I'd never forget you Your words so sweet and tender I knew I'd always remember But your eyes turned cold and I lost my hold Your heart turned towards another Now I'm all alone Wondering what went wrong I've been up all night, down all day Just when I thought your love would come my way You fooled me, schooled me, made me blue Took away my only chance to be with you Now I'm up all night, down all day Night are long and the skies are gray For a fool like me it's hopeless To get you off my mind Each night I stay up hopin' With my eyes wide open Each day I lose the gumption To even get up and function 'Cause every night he's holding you tight While my lonesome arms are empty I keep thinking of you And feeling so blue
5.
Written by Bobby Winstead I don't want to fall for your eyes so blue I don't want to hear you say I love you I don't want to cry when we are through Oh no, I don't want to fall in love with you I don't want to hold you in my arms I don't want to know all your loving charms I don't want my heart to break in two Oh no, I don't want to fall in love with you Even though each day I love you more And you're all I could ever ask for I just don't want to try loving someone new Oh no, I don't want to fall in love with you

Who Knew 03:36
Written by Bobby Winstead and Gabrielle Macrae Who knew, who knew? Who knew? Who knew, who knew? Who knew? That your loving was not true That you'd leave me sad and blue That your heart held a secret That I wasn't privy to That you would love me only While I believed your lies And you'd hug me and hold me While another was your prize That the other that you're loving Has played you for a fool He also loves another And does not care for you That one day you would wake up And find you're all alone And the love you would not give to me Has turned as cold as stone

Fool's Gold 04:28
Written by Bobby Winstead Fool's gold Your love is fool's gold Sparkling in the light With no riches deep inside Fool's gold I fell for fool's gold All it buys me is a poor and empty heart I thought I'd be the richest man When you first caught my eye I cried for joy and thanked the stars for you I held you up and you did shine I never thought you'd lie But the shimmer turned a slightly different hue How many men have seen you shine And fallen for your spell? Just to find they're soon left all alone They think they've found the greatest worth But they cannot yet tell That the lie is there just waiting to be told
8.
Written by Bobby Winstead You told me goodbye You broke my heart And now you return And you want a new start I want to believe That you’ve come back for good Oh darling, I want to believe CHORUS I want to believe you dear Darling I want to believe You say I’m for you No one else would do Oh darling, I want to believe What you tell me is sweet Such nice words to say The things that I hear Make me want you to stay And you tell me your love Is for me till the end Oh darling, I want to believe There’s no way to know If you’re telling a lie And one day you’ll leave Without saying goodbye But you tell me that That is the last thing you’d do Oh darling, I want to believe

Written by Bobby Winstead and Scott Spalding I'm driving in my Caddy down the streets both long and wide I've long run out of whiskey and I'm feeling mighty dry The people that I see look out through vacant eyes They hardly seem to know when I pass by I'm riding on the train that takes me to my home But I don't plan to stay too long 'cause I was born to roam I've traveled far and wide, I've rambled coast to coast I fall in love in every little town Some people say that I must settle down But they don't understand why I roam from town to town The west Texas wind I blowing through my hair I'm almost to New Mexico and I know someone there The coast is far ahead, I hear it calling me Let's hit the road before the daylight's gone
10.
Stick Around 04:02
Written by Bobby Winstead Stick around, stick around And let's carry on these good times That we're having together in each other's arms Stick around, stick around I don't know why you are leaving We'll miss out on all that we could have in store Stick around, stick around We were only getting started Don't you love me and know that I truly love you? Won't you please stick around, Don't you want to be here with me? If you go I won't know what to do Why leave now? We're doing so well Stay a little while Don't leave now Honey, can't you tell I'm yours, won't you be mine? Stick around, stick around You're already in my heart dear I don't want you to leave me alone here tonight Won't you please stick around, Don't you want to be here with me? Your leaving just isn't right

Written by Bobby Winstead Waiting in the wings And I hear you start to sing I'm turned upside down Wheels just spinning 'round and ‘round Always on my mind But he’s got you all the time I’m hurt for wanting you It’s the darkest shade of blue CHORUS Wasted words, wasted time Now I’m nothing but alone With your eyes in my mind While I’m sinking like a stone What a thing to do Keep on chasing after you Just a message on my phone Not someone to call my own You can draw the line Just what is and isn’t mine I start to gain some ground But I can’t have what I found Restless as the wind So I’m calling you again I’m just not the same Since we played our little game
