The Last Thing on My Mind

(Joyce Trudeau)

After a number of years of marriage, emotions can become dampened. One might forget the thrill of falling in love. When the marriage ends, dating again can be daunting. Perhaps you enter the field tentatively, with no expectations. These lyrics are about a scenerio like this in which falling in love is the last thing on one's mind - but then it happens.

I stood at the altar and said, “I do,” I even took his name. Years after that there came a day That I could no longer play his game. Suddenly single again is not a bad thing When you want to cut the ties that bind. I played to win, but in the end All I wanted was to be free, And loving someone was the last thing on my mind. It was a while before I felt That I was ready to date. I just wanted to have fun, I was not looking for a mate. Suddenly single again means you can flirt Without a promise of tomorrow You won't leave a trail of broken hearts With a man that you only borrow, And loving someone was the last thing on my mind. Chorus I forgot about love I forgot how it feels when you're in it; I forgot about love I forgot the thrill when you win it. I forgot love is blind I thought that I would see it But I was blind Because loving someone was the last thing on my mind. I met a man and he was dashing And he knew how to charm a lady. I didn't think I had a chance But he set his sights on me. What harm could one date be? And that was the last I saw of my heart I didn't know the trouble he'd start When he stole away with my heart. And loving him was the last thing on my mind. Chorus I forgot about love I forgot how it feels when you're in it; I forgot about love I forgot the thrill when you win it. I forgot love is blind I thought that I would see it But I was blind Because loving someone was the last thing on my mind. I'm playing the game for keeps this time, I even said, “I do.” It's a game of hearts And it's a match of two. Now I know how love feels when you're in it And I know the thrill when you win it. It's a game that's designed So that both of us win, And I can forget That loving him was the last thing on my mind. Chorus I forgot about love I forgot how it feels when you're in it; I forgot about love I forgot the thrill when you win it. I forgot love is blind I thought that I would see it But I was blind Because loving someone was the last thing on my mind.

Ladies Like Bad Boys

By Joyce Trudeau


So many ladies are attracted to bad boys. One has to wonder why. They are not always trustworthy or dependable. So what holds our attention? They know how to treat a lady. They are so suave - gentlemanly, but also a little bit naughty and fun. And that is sexy.
