Mary's Song © Russ Dodson 1976
I'm sure going to miss you when I'm gone
and I know the pain of leaving you will just go on and on.
When I'm gone I don't know what I'll do
but I know I have to face the facts - I've gotta get away from you.
You say that you have made your choice - a choice that you'll defend
I've known you long enough to know you'll never bend
and 'though it makes me sad I guess this really is the end
'cause babe I need a lover and you just want a friend.
Now leaving's not a thing that I would do
if only I could find a way to share my love with you
and 'though you say you love me in your way
you won't go with me when I leave and you won't ask me to stay.
And you say that you have made your choice - a choice that you'll defend
I've known you long enough to know you'll never bend
and 'though it makes me sad I guess this really is the end
'cause babe I need a lover and you just want a friend.
I love you and I'd take you anywhere -
if you would just go with me there's a whole world we could share.
I'd try to take you where you want to be
'cause babe I really love you and it's a shame you don't want me.
But you say that you have made your choice - a choice that you'll defend
I've known you long enough to know you'll never bend
and 'though it makes me sad I guess this really is the end
'cause babe I need a lover and you just want a friend.

Once Again © Russ Dodson 1980
Here I am once again outside your door
even tho' I swore the last time not to come back anymore
because when we start fighting I know just what's in store
and it hurts more than it ever did before.
So hush up pass the wine everything's gonna work out fine
take a toke, pull the shades and dim the light
then come hold me close to you - just the way you used to do
forget about the fights - who cares who's wrong or right
let's just see if we can make it through the night.
When I started out last night I should have known
that I'd wind up here with you again tho' you hurt me to the bone
sometimes we love the night away - sometimes we just get stoned
still it's better than being alone.
So hush up pass the wine everything's gonna work out fine
take a toke, pull the shades and dim the light
then come hold me close to you - just the way you used to do
forget about the fights - who cares who's wrong or right
let's just see if we can make it through the night.
What went wrong with our romance I guess depends
on who's side you look at first - we've both tried to make amends
if we could just stop fighting and let these heartaches end
someday you and I could be the best of friends.
So hush up pass the wine everything's gonna work out fine
take a toke, pull the shades and dim the light
then come hold me close to you - just the way you used to do
forget about the fights - who cares who's wrong or right
let's just see if we can make it through the night.
(repeat last two lines and fade)

Another Line © Russ Dodson 1976
I was sitting at home alone the other night
with nothing much to do
until I started drinkin' and then I started thinkin'
of the times I used to spend with you.
I reached for the phone and I started to call
but I couldn't think of one damn thing to say
so I took out my pen, started writing again
and the words came out this way.
Hello pretty baby, how ya doin' lately lady?
I hope you're feeling fine.
I've been feeling lonely, I've been thinkin' of you only
and I swear this isn't just another line.
I know how bad things were when we last parted
I don't want to open up old wounds anew;
I was wrong to leave you cryin' even tho' I caught you lyin'
when I know I've done the same damn thing to you.
BRIDGE
I guess it must be love 'cause I know I dream about you
and I'm thinkin' of you nearly all the time.
I know that I've been missin' all the cuddling and kissin'
and the way your body feels so close to mine.
Maybe it's too early for the hurtin' to end
and maybe it's too late for us at all
but if you're thinkin' of me and you feel you might still love me
hey babe, just give me a call.
Hello pretty baby, how ya doin' lately lady?
I hope you're feeling fine.
I've been feeling lonely, I've been thinkin' of you only
and I swear this isn't just another line.
I know how bad things were when we last parted
I said some things that I cannot defend
and I know it's absurd, but I wrote down these words
in this letter that I'll never send.
and I know it's absurd, but I wrote down these words

I Don't Want'a Know © Russ Dodson 1976
I Don't Want'a Know © Russ Dodson 1999-2000
I don't want'a know, I don't want'a know,
I don't want'a know, I don't want'a know why you were gone
before the dawn.
I don't want'a know, I don't want'a know,
I don't want'a know, I don't want'a know where you've been
and that's no sin.
I just want to lay you down
I just want to make sweet love to you.
I don't want to talk or fight
I just want to spend the night in you.
I don't want'a know, I don't want'a know,
I don't want'a know, I don't want'a know your dreams,
your plots and schemes.
I don't want'a know, I don't want'a know,
I don't want'a know, I don't want'a know what you tried
You keep your pride.
I just want to lay you down
I just want to make sweet love to you.
I don't want to talk or fight
I just want to spend the night in you.
BRIDGE
I don't want'a know, I don't want'a know,
I don't want'a know, I don't want'a know the name
of your latest flame.
I don't want'a know, I don't want'a know,
I don't want'a know, I don't want'a know your plan
for another man.
I just want to lay you down
I just want to make sweet love to you.
I don't want to talk or fight
I just want to spend the night in you.
I don't want'a know, I don't want'a know,
I don't want'a know, I don't want'a know if you lied
or if you cried.
I don't want'a know, I don't want'a know,
I don't want'a know, I don't want'a know where we went wrong
I'm moving on.
I just want to lay you down
I just want to make sweet love to you.
I don't want to talk or fight
I just want to spend the night in you.
I don't want'a know, I don't want'a know,
I don't want'a know, I don't want'a know,
I don't want'a know, I don't want'a know,
I don't want'a know, I don't want'a know
