Surgeon
General

Starts With CHORUS (Verse 1)
You're so devastating, but heartache's waiting
When you step over the line.
Make a man feel ten feet tall, 'til another one crosses your mind,
Then it's now you see me, now you don't
Leave a man broken and blue.
That’s
why I think the surgeon general oughta put a warning label on you.
CHORUS
I think the surgeon general oughta put a warning label on you.
To let a man know the damage that you can do.
With your sexy smile and your come-on style
Sure to break a heart or two.
That's why I think the surgeon general oughta put a warning label on
you.
(Verse 2)
They say candy's dandy, but liquor's quicker
You could show 'em both a thing or two.
The fastest horse in old Kentucky can't hold a candle to you.
You're a hard cold heart in a soft hot body
Wham, bam, thanks and you're through.
So for the sake of man-kind, I think it's time they put a warning
label on you.
(Footnote: The final version has
the first verse as second and vice versa.)
(For that reason the verses above "1 & 2" will not match the MP3)

Steppin' Out and Feeling Fine
Words and Music by Don
Werts
Copyright © 1992-2008, The Collective Works of Don Werts - Vol. 1
(Verse 1)
Every time you start to pack your suitcase,
You'd always find me standing in your way.
After looking at the facts I think I oughta help you pack;
Do anything I can to help you on your way.
'Cause we been down that rocky road.
It's time I lightened up my load.
You should be the first one to know.
I hate to see you leave, but I'm glad to see you go.
CHORUS
I ain't sittin' home and listening to no sad songs
The way I've done so many times before.
There's people out there living; lawd, I'm missing out on mine.
Grab my shoes, hold the blues,
I'm headed out the door.
There ain't nothing in the world like a new love
To mend a shattered, broken heart and mind.
I didn't think you would, but you really left me good.
Tonight I'm steppin' out and feeling fine.
(Verse 2)
Heard you told your friends you were leaving,
You couldn't stand a chain around your neck.
But the chain's weakest link is much stronger than you think;
I might take it hard, but don't expect to see me break.
I won't ask you to change your mind
And talking's just a waste of time.
Get on with leaving me behind,
Don't tell me what I lost - I won't tell you what I find.

Can I Dream A Dream With You
Words and Music by Don
Werts
Copyright © 1992-2008, The Collective Works of Don Werts - Vol. 1
(Verse 1)
Can you stay awhile with me, can we dream a dream or two?
Will you give your love to me? I sure need someone like you.
Doesn't matter 'bout the time; we've got nothing else to do.
Tonight is ours alone, come tomorrow you'll be gone;
Can I dream a dream with you?
CHORUS
Lay your head upon my shoulder, let me feel your beating heart.
In the morning we'll remember how it feels to be apart.
' But tonight we've got each other, forget the pain that we've been
through.
It's been a long time since you loved me.
Can I dream a dream with you?
(Verse 2)
Look into my eyes and tell me all the passion that you feel.
Take me by the hand and lead me into a dream you make so real.
As you lay here close beside me, heaven seems a dream away.
The beginning or the end, if we never love again,
Let me live a dream today.

Bar Room
Heart
Words and Music by Don
Werts
Copyright © 1992-2008, The Collective Works of Don Werts
(Verse 1)
Dim lights help to hide the lines; ain't no way to hide the lies.
Once again your lips are wet with wine.
Swingin' doors keep calling you, to saw-dust floors and I'm a fool
To think that I could ever make you mine.
CHORUS:
I gave you candle lights and lullabies, you prefer a stranger's
lies.
Lady, you'll have hell to pay - one day for all the hell you raised.
I hate to see us fall apart. I should've known right from the
start
That even love can't change a bar-room heart.
(Verse 2)
Same old song you're late again.
You'll come home and you'll begin trying to convince they're just
friends.
You'll expect my loving too; with fingerprints all over you.
But, baby, this is where my heartaches end. |

A SPECIAL LULLABY
FOR ONE OF MY DAUGHTERS.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I Wonder What
You'll Dream About Tonight.
Words and Music by Don
Werts
Copyright © 1992-2008, The Collective Works of Don Werts - Vol. 1
(Written & original Copyright © 1985. Don Werts)
(Verse)
I sing you to sleep with a soft lullaby.
The glow on your face brings a tear to my eye.
And you squeeze my hand as you drift off to sleep
and I pray to God your sweet soul to keep.
CHORUS:
Carousels and wishing wells and castles in the air,
Big Rock Candy Mountain and fuzzy teddy bears.
Misty colored rainbows on magic carpet rides;
I wonder what you'll dream about tonight.

Two Hearts
Words and Music by Don Werts
Copyright © 1992-2008, The Collective Works of Don Werts - Vol. 1
(Verse 1)
There you stand, I don't even know your name.
Both searching for a friendly face, no one's to blame.
A fire is lit - we don't know why, but we know what for.
It's too late to we can't stop now, we've come too far.
CH0RUS
Two hearts burning with passion and splendor.
You'll forget my face, but I'll make it a night you'll remember.
Come gently, let the embers burn slowly
To take the chill off a lonely night for two hearts.
(Verse 2)
I can tell you've seen your share of lonely nights
But for now let's just forget what's wrong or right.
Another time, another place you might recall.
One magic night, two lonely hearts - we had it all.
