Breaking rocks in the hot Sun

I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law and the law won

I needed money cause I had none

I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law and the law won

I miss my baby and I feel so bad

I guess my race is run

Well she's the best girl that I've ever had

I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law and the law won

Robbing people with a six gun

I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law and the law won

I miss my baby and the good fun

I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law and the law won

I miss my baby and I feel so bad

I guess my race is run

Well she's the best girl that I've ever had

I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law and the law won.

I don't want a lot for Christmas

There is just one thing I need

I don't care about the presents

Underneath the Christmas tree

I just want you for my own

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true

All I want for Christmas

Is you, you, yeah

I don't want a lot for Christmas

There is just one thing I need

And I don't care about the presents

Underneath the Christmas tree

I don't need to hang my stocking

There upon the fireplace

Santa Claus won't make me happy

With a toy on Christmas Day

I just want you for my own

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true

All I want for Christmas is you

You, baby

Oh, I won't ask for much this Christmas

I won't even wish for snow

And I'm just gonna keep on waiting

Underneath the mistletoe

I won't make a list and send it

To the North Pole for Saint Nick

I won't even stay awake to

Hear those magic reindeer click

'Cause I just want you here tonight

Holding on to me so tight

What more can I do?

Baby, all I want for Christmas is you

You, baby

Oh, all the lights are shining

So brightly everywhere

And the sound of children's

Laughter fills the air

And everyone is singing

I hear those sleigh bells ringing

Santa, won't you bring me the one I really need?

Won't you please bring my baby to me?

Oh, I don't want a lot for Christmas

This is all I'm asking for

I just want to see my baby

Standing right outside my door

Oh, I just want you for my own

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true

Baby, all I want for Christmas is

You, you, baby

All I want for Christmas is you, baby

All I want for Christmas is you, baby

All I want for Christmas is you, baby

All I want for Christmas is you, baby.

YEAR: 1979

"She Believes In Me" is a song recorded by American country music Singer Kenny Rogers. It was released in April 1979 as the second single from his álbum The Gambler. The song was written and first recorded by Steve Gibb (not the Steve Gibb who is the son of Barry Gibb) and is the tale of a songwriter who has a beloved who supports him, although he sometimes wonders why.

While she lays sleeping,

I stay out late at night and play my songs

And sometimes all the nights can be so long

And it's good when i finally make it home, all alone

While she lays dreaming,

I try to get undressed without the light

And quietly she says: "how was your night?

And i come to her and say: "it was all right.

And i hold her tight

And she believes in me,

I'll never know just what she sees in me

I told her someday if she was my girl,

I could change the world

With my little songs… i was wrong!

But she has faith in me,

And so i go on trying faithfully

And who knows, maybe on some special night,

If my song is right

I will find a way, find a way...

While she lays waiting,

I stumble to the kitchen for a bite

Then i see my old guitar in the night

Just waiting for me like a secret friend,

There's no end?

While she lays crying, i fumble with a melody or two

Than i'm torn between the things that i should do

And she says to make her up when i am through,

God! her love is true...

And she believes in me,

I'll never know just what she sees in me

I told her someday if she was my girl,

I could change the world

With my little songs, i was wrong

But she has faith in me,

And so i go on trying faithfully

And who knows maybe on some special night,

If my song is right i will find a way, find a way...

While she lays… while she waits for me!

Touche', touche'

You're right, there's nothing I can say

I am a wishy washy girl

But it's a wishy washy world

[Chorus:]

Go away

No, wait a minute

I want out

Then I want in it

I'm all confused but I admit it

Go away

No, wait a minute.

C'est la vie, la vie

That's what you get when you get me

I have the right to change my mind

At least a couple hundred times.

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]

I need some help

I'm not quite myself

And lately I'm a nervous wreck

My whole world has changed

And the reason I'm strange

Is I love you and baby that scares me to death.

[Chorus]

I'm all confused but I admit it

Go away

No, wait a minute.
