Subject: Re: If I Ever Need A Lady, by Claude King

Jean [grmad@juno.com] requested this song.  This is the way I remember
it.  I believe Claude King recorded it, but it may have been Claude Gray
(I always get them confused).  If anyone needs an explanation of the
Nashville Numbering System, email me. - Tom

IF I EVER NEED A LADY
Recorded by:  Claude King (or Claude Gray?)
Submitted by:  Thomas Rivers [tipper194@juno.com]

(Verse 1)
YOU DON'T SMOKE AND YOU DON'T SWEAR
YOU WOULDN'T DO WRONG ON A DARE
AND A GOOD GIRL JUST CAN'T CHASE AWAY MY BLUES
I'M OUT FIGHTING LONELINESS
DATING GIRLS I KNOW WILL KISS
BUT IF I EVER NEED A LADY, I'LL CALL YOU

(Chorus)
YOU DRINK COKE, AND I DRINK WINE
YOU DON'T STAY OUT AFTER NINE
AND THAT'S WHEN I'M GETTING UP, TO LACE MY SHOES
SO DON'T CRY, WHEN YOU SEE - PAINTED WOMEN OUT WITH ME
'CAUSE IF I EVER NEED A LADY, I'LL CALL YOU.

(Verse 2)
CHECK INSIDE YOUR SWEET HEART
IT'S SO PURE WHERE MINE IS DARK
AND AN ANGEL IS THE ONE THING I DON'T NEED
I NEED GIRLS OF THE NIGHT, ALL AGLOW IN NEON LIGHTS
BUT IF I EVER NEED A LADY, I'LL CALL YOU.
