Oh Miss Smart, Miss Smart, Miss Smart
don't you know I love your kisses
but I really want your heart
Oh Miss Smart, Miss Smart, Miss Smart
don't you know I love your kisses
but I really want your heart
I wish that you would give me your heart
but you keep it on a line
strung out behind where you are
and that suits me just fine
I'll just keep on reeling you in
a little at a time
until before you know
there you go
right into these arms of mine
Oh Miss Smart, Miss Smart, Miss Smart
don't you know I love your kisses
but I really want your heart
Oh Miss Smart, Miss Smart, Miss Smart
don't you know I love your kisses
but I really want your heart
They say absence makes the heart grow fonder
and I think that might be true
'cause I don't feel mine trying to wander
since it caught hold of you
people talk about falling in love
well I'm inclined to say that we flew
Lord willing and the creek don't rise
girl I'ma gonna marry you
Oh Miss Smart, Miss Smart, Miss Smart
don't you know I love your kisses
but I really want your heart
Oh Miss Smart, Miss Smart, Miss Smart
don't you know I love your kisses
but I really want your heart
Oh Miss Smart, Miss Smart, Miss Smart
don't you know I love your kisses
don't you know I love your heart
Oh Miss Smart, Miss Smart, Miss Smart
don't you know that I love you
Lord willing and the creek don't rise
I'ma gonna marry you
Lord willing and if you'll oblige me girl
I'ma gonna marry you

Repeat

I was at work the other day
singin' a song about you
not this one but the other one
though soon I'll start singin' this one too
oh I'd take my last penny
and spend it all on you
cause you're worth so much more than money
that's it's not even funny, honey
but lets laugh anyway
because laughs are always free
except when they're at my expense
but I'll still let you laugh for free
and I'll take all your sweet laughter
and lock it in my heart
and bring it out to sing in the breeze
on these days when we're apart
it just seems like I've got you on repeat
you on repeat
you on repeat
it just seems like I've got you on repeat
and that's just fine by me.
these days
I can't let my heart speak
'cause it's like "oh, did you know
that my baby so and so"
and my friends are like
"Lord, yes we know
you've told us a thousand times before,
now if you please sir, some peace"
"oh did you know"
and on and on it goes
so I just keep it under lock and key
"oh did you know"
and on and on it goes
so I just keep it under lock and key
it just seems like I've got you on repeat
you on repeat
you on repeat
it just seems like I've got you on repeat
and that's just fine by me.
you're just so good
so good you see
that I can't comprehend
how you'd end up with a guy like me
but I'd be glad to mull it over
until the water evaporates from the sea
and I think that we'd both find
that if at the end of time
I had your hand safe in mine
I could walk out of this place in peace
it just seems like I've got you on repeat
you on repeat
you on repeat
it just seems like I've got you on repeat
and that's just fine by me.
and that's better than fine by me

LBK Is For Lovers

lubbock is for lovers
and long lost, land locked, land lubbers
but as for you and me
we're not afraid of the sea
even with so much to discover
lubbock will always be for lovers
'cause that's where I found you
and that's where you found me
In this dusty Texas town
I wondered what I found
the first time you sat next to me
I didn't believe in love at first sight
but at second I just might
'cause two looks is all it took for me
the white cotton fields
and tireless oil drills
they're all well and good for industry
but as I watched this unfold
I knew I'd struck gold
and that I would follow you across land and sea
lubbock is for lovers
and long lost, land locked, land lubbers
but as for you and me
we're not afraid of the sea
even with so much to discover
lubbock will always be for lovers
'cause that's where I found you
and that's where you found me
The bright northern lights
and Himalayas' dazzling heights
I'm sure they're stunning sights to see
but seeing the west texas sky
in the reflection of your eyes
was enough to take the breath out of me
from singapore to bangalore
paris, new york, or DC
we can go as far as our hearts may roam
but if home is where the heart is
I know where the start is
and forever until the end, will always be
'cause lubbock is for lovers
and long lost, land locked, land lubbers
but as for you and me
we're not afraid of the sea
even with so much to discover
lubbock will always be for lovers
'cause that's where I found you
and that's where you found me

Rain, sleet, snow or hail
my love will find you faster that the U.S. mail
you start the feel a lonesome worry
babe I'll be there in a hurry
and the good Lord knows
that I won't fail
rain, sleet, snow or hail
my love will find you faster than the U.S. mail
Nothin' girl in this whole wide world
is gonna keep me from you
I'd buy me a plane ticket
all the way to Timbuktu
if you were there on the other end
I'd fly right there to you
I'd climb right over a mountain
if you were on the other side
or I'd burrow through to get to you
if that mountain couldn't be climbed
I'd stow away on an ocean liner
and go for a dive
20k leagues under the sea
if that'd make you my bride
the thousands of pounds of pressure
wouldn't crush me, beloved of mine
heaven's above, I'm so puffed up on love
I think I'd be just fine!
Rain, sleet, snow or hail
my love will find you faster that the U.S. mail
you start the feel a lonesome worry
babe I'll be there in a hurry
and the good Lord knows
that I won't fail
rain, sleet, snow or hail
my love will find you faster than the U.S. mail
Nothin' girl in this whole wide world
is gonna keep me from you
I'd walk across the desert
I'd swim across the sea
I'd lasso the moon and bring it down
if it'd sit you next to me
Girl, I'd run a marathon
and dontcha know I'd win first prize
but they could keep all their trophies and medals
as long as you'd be mine
anyway, anywhere, anytime
that's my guarantee
if you need me to get to you
then that's where I'm gonna be
just let something try to stop me
slow me down, or break my stride
There'll be no "buts" I'll show it what's what
and get my love to you on time
Rain, sleet, snow or hail
my love will find you faster that the U.S. mail
you start the feel a lonesome worry
babe I'll be there in a hurry
and the good Lord knows
that I won't fail
rain, sleet, snow or hail
my love will find you faster than the U.S. mail
Nothin' girl in this whole wide world
is gonna keep me from you

Oh Miss Smart, is it a shameful thing
to hear your name in the songs that I sing?
and if it is let me know, 'cause I can arrange
to have that last name of yours changed
I only ever wanted to make you smile and blush
and if these songs I sing are a little much
I can only hope in the end
that they will have been enough
to convey what you've meant to me
so even if there will be no last name change
you can look back and listen to these songs and say
"there was a man in love with me for a day
who was willing to give up anything"
and though that should not be needed
know that you are worth
more than these songs
and more than these words
and so I leave them to you
to remind you of a time
when for a while I was yours
and for a time you were mine
Oh Miss Smart, is it a shameful thing
to hear your name in the songs that I sing?
and if it is let me know, 'cause I can arrange
to have that last name of yours changed
so let this stand a tribute
to the good that was
and I hope that when you listen
it still makes you smile and blush
Oh Miss Smart, is it a shameful thing
to hear your name in the songs that I sing?
and if it is let me know, 'cause I can arrange
to have that last name of yours changed
Don't I know, that I'm too much.
