WEEK IN THE COUNTRY
(Baker Knight)


Ernest Ashworth - 1963


Ooh, I don't need a fancy limousines
To carry me around from scene to scene
Just give me all the love and kisses that you got
And that'll do me more good than a week in the country
Believe it or not

Well you don't have to dress in fancy clothes
Just whisper tender words and lots of those
And give me all the hugs and kisses that you got
And that'll do me more good than a week in the country
Believe it or not

Well, when I'm in your arms it's just like a paradise
Why, yes, it's awful nice to be with you
And when I hold you near to me, my troubles disappear you see
And that's why I love you like I do

Well, I don't need a mansion in the hills
And we won't worry about who pays the bills
Just give me all the love and kisses that you got
And that'll do me more good than a week in the country
Believe it or not

Well, when I'm in your arms it's just like a paradise
Why, yes, it's awful nice to be with you
And when I hold you near to me, my troubles disappear you see
And that's why I love you like I do

Now when I get the blues and feel lowdown
Just promise me you'll always be around
To give me all the love and kisses that you got
And that'll do me more good than a week in the country
Believe it or not

I said that'll do me more good than a week in the country
Believe it or not
