Lorrie Morgan



Lorrie Morgan is a country music singer who is also the daughter of former country music artist George Morgan who had hit songs from 1949-1975.

According to Wikipedia:

Lorrie Morgan charted her first single in 1978, although she did not break into the top of the U.S. country charts until her 1989 single, "Trainwreck of Emotion." Since then, she has charted more than 25 singles on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks charts, with three number one hits: "Five Minutes," "What Part of No" and "I Didn't Know My Own Strength." She has also recorded more than 15 studio albums. At various points in her life, Morgan has been married to three different country singers: Keith Whitley, Jon Randall and Sammy Kershaw.

Below are lyrics of two of her hits courtesy of www.cowboylyrics.com:

Good As I Was:


She drove up to the restaurant where they use to dine
He was sitting at the table with someone new this time
She walked up right beside him her face did not turn red
She looked at him so calmly and this is what she said

Good as I was to you is this the thanks I get?
Are all the years we shared so easy to forget?
Does this mean that you've won?
Are you finally having fun?
Is she your dream come true?
Oh, she sure looks good but she won't ever be
As good as I was to you

The room got awfully quiet and everybody stared
Finally the waiter said, "Should I bring another chair."
She said, "No. I was just leaving." but as she walked out the door
She said, "Honey, you can have him I don't want him anymore."

Good as I was to you Is this the thanks I get?
Are all the years we shared so easy to forget?
Is this the way it's done? Looking out for number one?
Did you think it through?
She sure looks good but she won't ever be
Good as I was to you go to lead,

Does this mean that you've won?
Are you finally having fun?
Is she your dream come true?
Oh, she sure looks good but she won't ever be
As good as I was to you
As good as I was to you



I Can Buy My Own Roses

The flowers you sent came to my door
And I know what you sent them for
The card said you were sorry as can be
But angry words we said last night
Still hurt me in the morning light
And they won’t disappear that easily
I know that your intentions are sincere
I say the words but you don’t seem to hear

I can buy my own roses
That’s not what I need to make it ok
I need you to talk to me
I need truth and honesty
That’s the way that I want you to show it 
I can buy my own roses

Pink balloons and chocolate hearts
You try to use like cupid darts
But you’re the only one they help to heal
What will it take to make you see
The best gift you could give to me
Is taking time to know the way I feel
The truth hurts but it’s worse if I pretend
And I don’t want your apology again

I can buy my own roses
That’s not what I need to make it ok
I need you to talk to me
I need truth and honesty
That’s the way that I want you to show it 
I can buy my own roses

Ooh I need you to talk to me
I need truth and honesty
That’s the way that I want you to show it
I can buy my own roses
I can buy my own roses
