I laid a red rose on your front porch

And I wrote 'I Love You' on a note

I rang the doorbell and turned to go

Baby when the curtains moved

I couldn't believe the view

 

I saw the light in your window tonight

I saw two shadows holding each other tight

I know the truth when I look in your eyes

I saw the light in your window tonight

 

So take your cheating hands off my red dress

'Cause I ain't wearing this thing for you

I see you clearly now, and your lies too

They say that love is blind

Well, baby, not this time

 

I saw the light in your window tonight

I saw two shadows holding each other tight

I know the truth when I look in your eyes

I saw the light in your window tonight

 

Why, baby, why

Should I listen to ya

Cry, baby, cry

Now I'm walking out the door

 

They say that love is blind

Well, baby, not this time

 

I know the truth when I look in your eyes

I saw the light in your window tonight.

BRAVO, TU A GAGNÉ

Nous avons joué notre vie ensemble

Et puis un beau jour la chance a tourné

On ne finira pas la partie ensemble

Et chacun s'en va seul de son côté

 

Bravo tu as gagné, et moi j'ai tout perdu

On s'est tellement aimé, on ne s'aime plus

J'étais sûre de moi, je vivais tranquille

Et ta main dans ma main je croisais les doigts

Et tous les tricheurs de la grande ville

Ne me faisaient pas peur quand tu étais là

 

Mais les dés sont jetés, pair impair, rouge ou noir

Qui est le plus heureux de nous deux ce soir?

Bravo tu as gagné, et moi j'ai tout perdu

On s'est tellement aimé, on ne s'aime plus

 

Est-ce qu'elle est ta complice cette partenaire

Que tu as choisi pour me remplacer?

En amour la loi, c'est comme à la guerre

Le plus fort des deux reste le dernier

Et notre amour si beau (amour si beau)

Finit pourtant si mal (pourtant si mal)

On le juge à huis clos (juge à huis clos)

Dans un tribunal (un tribunal)

 

Bravo tu as gagné (tu as gagné)

Et moi j'ai tout perdu (j'ai tout perdu)

On s'est tellement aimé (on s'est aimé)

On ne s'aime plus (ne s'aime plus)

 

Nous avons joué

Notre vie ensemble

Et puis un beau jour

La chance a tourné

On ne finira pas

La partie ensemble

Et chacun s'en va

Seul de son côté

 

Bravo tu as gagné

Bravo tu as gagné

 

Tu as gagné

J'ai tout perdu

On s'est aimé

On n'aime plus

Amour si bon

Pourtant si mal

Juge à huis clos.

Mean blues feel this is the end for me

Mean blues feel this is the end for me

Cruel world pullin’ me donw

Is making it hard tomorrow to see

Three days I haven’t heard my girl

I know something’ is wrong

Three days I haven’t heard my girl

I know something’ is wrong

She left me for another

There’s a hole now where my heart belongs

There’s no use for me searching

I have to let her go

There’s no use for me searching

I have to let her go

There’s nothing for her to come back to

Mean blues got me sinking too low

Drowned my sorrows with a boittle

I’m gonna lose my mind

Drowned my sorrows with a boittle

I’m gonna lose my mind

Think and drink, drank the bottom of the East River

That’s where my heartache feels fine.

       The Judds were an American country music duo composed of Naomi Judd and her daughter, Wynonna Judd. The duo signed to RCA Nashville in 1983 and released six studio albums between then and 1991. The Judds were one of the most successful acts in country music history, winning five Grammy Awards for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal, and eight Country Music Association awards. They also had 25 singles on the country music charts between 1983 and 2000, of which 14 went to Nº 1. After eight successful years as a duet, the Judds ceased performing in 1991 after Naomi was diagnosed with Hepatitis C. Soon after, Wynonna embarked on a highly successful solo career. The two have occasionally reunited for special tours, the most recent of which was in 2017.

         In 2021, The Judds were inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame

You can buy a diamond ring

And slip it on my hand

Put me on a big ol' plane

And fly me to a foreign land

 

Show me rows of fancy clothes

Saying, "Honey you can take your pick"

Well, that would be mighty kind

But it ain't gonna do the trick

 

Give a little love

A squeeze and a little kiss

Give a little hug,

Mmm, I want some more of this

 

Take a little time, yeah

Make a little fuss

That's what a woman wants

So give a little love

 

Get this, you can be some big hunk

Handsome, dark and tall

Talk to me in foreign tongues

Or with a southern drawl

 

Or be a man from old Siam

Wear a pointed hat

I don't care how you look

'Cause that ain't where it's at

 

So give a little love

A squeeze and a little kiss

Give a little hug

Mmm, I want some more of this

 

Take a little time, yeah

Make a little fuss

That's what a woman wants

So give a little love

 

Well, there are men who'll turn your head

And knock you off of your feet

Sweet talk and big blue eyes

Make a poor heart skip a beat

 

Drive you wild with a smile

And then they'll treat you cruel

Well, I ain't gonna fall for that

'Cause Mama didn't raise no fool

 

So give a little love

A squeeze and a little kiss

Give a little hug

Mmm, I want some more of this

 

Take a little time, yeah

Make a little fuss

That's what a woman wants

So give a little love

 

Give a little love, give a little love

Give a little love, give a little love

Give a little love, give a little love

Give a little love, give a little love

 

Give a little love, give a little love

Give a little love, give a little love.
