lyrics
- 1 she means nothing to me
- 2 god bless older ladies
- 3 sweet pretender
she means nothing to me
(John David)
Oh oh well here she comes now
Oh oh I'm on the run now
Pretending just pretending
That I don't see her
Just to teach her
But darling how much longer can I
Keep on living this lie
She means nothing to me
She means nothing to me
I'm still as free as a bird
Don't care what you heard about me
She means nothing to me
No more
Oh oh she's my world
Oh oh not just some girl
Harder, it's getting harder
To fool anyone
Not just her
But I act like a man
She'd expect me to
No tears win her respect
Who am I fooling if I can't fool me
Who believes what their eyes don't see
But I keep on lying
She means nothing to me (She don’t)
She means nothing to me
I'm still as free as a bird
Don't care what you heard about me
She means nothing to me
No more
All my dreams are depending on her
And how good I am pretending that
She means nothing to me
She means nothing to me
I'm still as free as a bird
Don't care what you heard about me
She means nothing to me no more
She means nothing to me (She don’t)
She means nothing to me (Haven't you heard)
I'm still as free as a bird
Don't care what you heard about me
She means nothing to me
She means nothing to me (She don’t)
She means nothing to me (Haven't you heard)
I’m still as free as a bird…..

god bless older ladies
(Phil Everly, Terry Slater)
If I could sing a million words
A million melodies
Could never sing a sweeter song
As you were to me
And I know you’ll always be
Just as sweet a memory to me
When, have you ever been
Sure as you were then
It was love when you gave in
Car, the bedroom was the car
We reached out for the stars
On the wings of a guitar
God bless older ladies
For they made rock and roll
I say God bless older ladies
For they made rock and roll
If I could sing a million words
A million melodies
Could never sing a sweeter song
As you were to me
And I know you’ll always be
Just as sweet a memory to me
White, the sheets were snowy white
In scented candle light
We loved away the night
Time, I recall the time
Rothschild made the wine
Byron made the lines
God bless older ladies
For they made rock and roll
I said God bless older ladies
For they made rock and roll
Oh you know you’ll always be
Just as sweet a memory to me
God bless older ladies
For they made rock and roll
I say God bless older ladies
For they made rock and roll

sweet pretender
(Phil Everly, Terry Slater)
I smiled at you
You smiled at me you too
And I thought your eyes were telling me
What you wanted me to do
So I said “Hello”
I let my feelings show
But you only laughed
And now I just don’t know
Woh-oh sweet pretender
Will you surrender?
Are you teasin’ me?
Will our love ever be?
Sweet pretender
Did I see a sign
That you might be mine
That our romance might have a chance
If we only had some time
I want you to stay
Please don’t walk away
Smile again
And let love find a way
Woh-oh sweet pretender
Will you surrender?
If it’s just a game
I’ll never be same
Sweet pretender
Sweet pretender
Will you surrender?
Are you teasin’ me?
Will our love ever be?
Sweet pretender
Sweet pretender
Sweet pretender

- 5 I'll mend your broken heart
- 6 better than now
I'll mend your broken heart
(S. Blandamer)
He may bring you gold and silver
He may buy you many things
I don’t have those kind of comforts
All I have are these words that I sing
Please, let me try
I’ll mend your broken heart
He may wine and dine you darling
With the finest world of charms
I don’t have that kind of credit
But when I hold you in my arms
That’s the way
I’ll mend your broken heart
I’ll mend your broken heart
I’ll mend it with my love
With every tear
With every kiss
With every touch
That’s the way
I’ll mend your broken heart
Let me try
I’ll mend your broken heart
I’ll mend your broken heart
I’ll mend it with my love
With every tear
With every kiss
With every touch
That’s the way
I’ll mend your broken heart
He may treat you, like a princess
Play the games of kings and queens
I don’t care for, rags to riches
I’ll still love you in your old blue jeans
Let me try
I’ll mend your broken heart
Oh, oh, oh, let me try
I’ll mend your broken heart
Patch Music
better than now
(Phil Everly, Terry Slater)
Oh-oh love has never been, better than now
Better than now
And love will never be again, better than now
Better than now
Better than now, sweet mama (sweet, sweet mama)
Oh better than now
I said better than now, sweet mama (sweet, sweet mama)
Oh better than now
Night time dreamer
Bedtime schemer
Your satisfaction guaranteed
My sweet lover
Will never be another
You’re the only one for me, for me, for me
And love has never been, better than now
Better than now
And love will never be again, better than now
Better than now
Better than now, sweet mama (sweet, sweet mama)
Oh better than now
I said better than now, sweet mama (sweet, sweet mama)
Oh better than now
Oh love has never been, better than now
Better than now
And love will never be again, better than now
Better than now
Better than now, sweet mama (Sweet, sweet mama)
Oh better than now
I said better than now, sweet mama (Sweet, sweet mama)
Oh better than now
Better than now
Better than now
Better than now
Than now, than now, than now, than now
Midnight walker
Soft word talker
Lovin, lovin’ lady of mine
You sure can move me
You know how to use me
You always make me feel so fine, so fine, so fine
‘Cause love has never been, better than now
Better than now
And love will be again, better than now
Better than now
Better than now, sweet mama (sweet, sweet mama)
Oh better than now
I said better than now, sweet mama (sweet, sweet mama)
Oh better than now
Be nothin' better than now, sweet mama (sweet, sweet mama)
Oh better than now, sweet mama (sweet, sweet mama)
Never better than now, sweet mama (sweet, sweet mama)
Oh better than now
