No Thanks I Just Had One
Jan Howard · Bill and Jan Or Jan and Bill (w Bill Anderson) [De [1972]
(Bill)
Come closer let me give you a kiss just for fun
(Jan)
No thanks, no thanks I just had one
(Bill)
Then hold me let me make this a moment you won't forget
(Jan)
No thanks I just had one that I'm not over yet.
I just lost my darling who kissed me goodbye
And I don't care now if I live or die
(Bill)
Well, then here's my shoulder, come have a good cry
(Jan)
No thanks, no thanks I just had one.
--- Instrumental ---
(Jan)
I wish I could take you and run off somewhere
But I can't forget him and how much I cared
(Bill)
Oh, please try me I could make this wonderful affair
(Jan)
No thanks, no thanks I just had one.
Thanks, but no thanks I just had one...
