WHOSE BED HAVE YOUR BOOTS BEEN UNDER
WRITTEN BY SHANIA TWAIN AND MUTT LANGE
Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under?
Whose bed have your boots been under?
Whose bed have your boots been under?
And Whose heart did you steal I wonder?
This time did it feel like thunder, baby?
Whose bed have your boots been under?
Don't look so lonely
Don't act so blue
I know I'm not the only
Girl you run to
I know about Lolita
Your little Spanish flame
I've seen you around with Rita
The redhead down the lane
Chorus:
Whose bed have your boots been under?
And Whose heart did you steal I wonder?
This time did it feel like thunder, baby?
And who did you run to?
And whose lips have you been kissin'?
And whose ear did you make a wish in?
Is she the one that you've been missin', baby?
Well whose bed have your boots been under?
I heard you've been sneakin'
Around with Jill
And what about that weekend
With Beverly Hill
And I've seen you walkin'
With long legs Louise
And you weren't just talkin'
Last night with Denise
(Repeat Chorus)
Come on boots....
So next time you're lonely
Don't call on me
Try the operator
Maybe she'll be free
(Repeat Chorus)
I wanna know whose bed, baby
Whoa baby, tell me
Whose bed, yes I wanna know
You better start talkin'
Or you better start walkin'....
If You're Not In It For Love) I'm Outta Here!
Mind if I sit down?
Can I buy you a round?
Haven't seen your face before
Are you new in town?
It's the same old line
Oh every time
Are you here alone?
Can I take you home?
Now every woman sees
With every "pretty please"
There's a pair of lyin' eyes
And a set of keys
He says come be a star
In the back seat of my car
Oh but baby slow down
Your goin' way too far
Let me make it clear to you my dear
Chorus:
If you're not in it for love (baby)
If you're not willin' to give it all you got
If you're not in it for life
If you're not in it for love
Let me make it clear to you my dear
If you're not in it for love
I'm outta here!
Babe I can change your world
Make you a cover girl
Yeah you could be a beauty queen
In a magazine
Now tell me, what's you sign?
Why always the same old line?
I'll be in number 409
If you change your mind
Let me make it clear to you my dear
(Repeat Chorus)
(Lead Solo)
(Repeat Chorus)
If you're not in it for life
If you're not in it for love
I'm outta here!

The Woman In Me
I'm not always strong
And sometimes I'm even wrong
But I win when I choose
And I can't stand to lose
But I can't always be
The rock that you see
When the nights get too long
And I just can't go on
Chorus:
The woman in me
Needs you to be
The man in my arms
To hold tenderly
'Cause I'm a woman in love
And it's you I run to
Yeah the woman in me
Needs the man in you
When the world wants too much
And it feels cold and out of touch
It's a beautiful place
When you kiss my face
(Repeat Chorus)
Yeah the woman in me
Needs the man in you
I need you baby
Yeah yeah
Oh baby...

Is There Life After Love?
Every road had a rainbow
And every wish had a star
Every tear had a shoulder to cry on
And every night had guitars
But every fool's a lonely fool
And such a fool am I
'Cause every night I think of you
And every night I die
Chorus:
Is there life after love?
Some things aren't certain
But some things I'm sure of
Like angels in Heaven
And God up above
But is there life after love?
You gave me forgiveness
But you could not forget
No, I should never have told you
What I'll live to regret
The truth lies between us
And I can't take it back
No, it's too late for lyin' now
It's too late for that
(Repeat Chorus)
Here I am, there you are
We're so far apart
Let's pretend that I've never been
In his hands, in his heart
Can't we just start
All over again?
(Repeat Chorus)
Is there life after love?
The Woman In Me Album
If It Don't Take Two
It takes two to tango
And two lips to seal a kiss
But a flame and a candle
Won't burn on a night like this
If it don't take two
It takes two to go one way
And two winds to be strong enough
But you can't sail on a still day
Like two ships on a sea of love
If it don't take two
Noah knew what he had to do
Ooh oh yeah
He sent us out in the world walkin'
two by two
Ooh...
Chorus:
If it don't take two
If it don't take two
If it don't take two
And if I'm not with you
No it ain't worth goin' through
If it don't take two
It takes two hearts with one beat
And it takes two to say I do
But the champagne won't taste sweet
And the dream just won't come true
If it don't take two
Noah knew what he had to do, oh yeah
He sent us out in the world walkin'
two by two, me and you
(Repeat Chorus)
He sent us out in the world walkin'
two by two, me and you
Baby...
(Repeat Chorus Twice)
The Woman In Me Album
You Win My Love
I'm lookin' for a lover
Who can rev his little engine up
He can have a '55 Chevy
Or a fancy little pick-up truck
If he's got a cool Cadillac
With a jacuzzi in the back I'm in, oh yeah
'Cause I'm a classy little chassis
Who's a-huntin' for a heart to win
Oh, but if you wanna win it
There's no speed limit
Just go faster, faster, don't be slow
Rev it up, rev it up 'til your engine blows
Chorus:
You win my love
You win my soul
You win my heart
Yeah, you get it all
You win my love
You make my motor run
You win my love, yeah
you're number one
Oh, I'm a crazy little lady yeah the kind
you just can't slow down
Oh no
I need a '65 cylinder racy little
run around town
Oh, but if you wanna win it
Babe, there's no speed limit
Just go faster, faster, don't be slow
Rev it up, rev it up 'til your engine blows
(Repeat Chorus)
I wanna heartbreak Harley
A full of steam dream machine
Or just a little late night
Sexy long stretch limousine
Oh, but if you wanna win it
Babe, there's no speed limit
Just go faster, faster, don't be slow
Rev it up, rev it up 'til your engines blows
(Repeat Chorus)
You win my love...

Raining On Our Love
Remember me the way I was
The way I'd make you late for work
I had to hold you, just because
Remember you the way you'd wake me up
To love me once again
We were lover, we were friends
But I was chasin' rainbows
Blinded by the sun
And did I take for granted
I'd be the only one?
Chorus:
I didn't know you were so lonely
Am I to blame for makin' you that way?
Did I neglect all that mattered?
With my head so far above
The clouds I didn't see
That it was raining on our love
Remember when, just to feel my touch
Was all you ever needed
Oh it used to be enough
Remember when love
Was a promise we would give our lives
to keep and no river ran as deep
But I was chasin' rainbows
Blinded by the sun
And did I take for granted
I'd be the only one?
(Repeat Chorus)
I was taking all the love you had to give
But I was too lost in life to know
That without my love in return you could not live
Now she gives the love I did not show
(Repeat Chorus)
The Woman In Me Album
Leaving Is The Only Way Out
I'm not sayin' I have all the answers
And I don't care who's right or wrong
I'm tryin' to pick up the pieces already fallen
And put them back where they belong
Chrous:
So slow your horses
Stop draggin' me around
And if cryin' is the only way into your heart
Then leavin' is the only way out
We've slammed every door in anger
And we've opened wounds we can't mend
And one night lonely is one night too many
Don't wanna wake up to one more night that won't end
(Repeat Chrous)
When late nights and long lies came knockin'
You just invited them in
And our voices got too loud for talkin'
Then my heart hit the floor
But your feet just kept walkin'
And if cryin' is the only way you hear me hurtin'
For the lovin' that I can't live without
And if lovin' ain't the only way into your heart
Then leavin' is the only way out
Oh leavin' is the only way out
The Woman In Me Album
No One Needs To Know
Am I dreamin' or stupid?
I think I've been hit by Cupid
But no one needs to know right now
I met a tall, dark and handsome man
And I've been busy makin' big plans
But no one needs to know right now
I got my heart set, my feet wet
And he don't even know it yet
But no one needs to know right now
I want bells to ring, a choir to sing
The white dress the guests the cake the car
the whole darn thing
But no one needs to know right now
I'll tell him someday some way somehow
But I'm gonna keep it a secret for now
We'll have a little girl a little boy
A little Benji we call Leroy
But no one needs to now right now
And I'm not lonely anymore at night
And he don't know only only he can make it right
And I'm not lonely anymore at night
And he don't know only only he can make it right
I'm dreamin' or stupid
But boy have I been hit by Cupid
But no one needs to know right now
No one needs to know right now...

God Bless The Child
Hallelujah, hallelujah
God bless the child who suffers
Hallelujah, hallelujah
God bless the young without mothers
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Let every man help his brother
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Let us all love one another
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Make all our hearts blind to color
Hallelujah, hallelujah
God bless the child who suffers
I cant remember how, where, or when I first discovered Shania Twain, but discover her I did. Somewhere along the road to my Country music awakening I stumbled across her and was instantly hooked (and so were two of my girls by the way). It not as if Shania has the voice of and angel like Jessica Andrews, or Martina McBride, or even the sensual presence of Trisha Yearwood. Shania and her oft-time firebrand style of Country are just plain fun to listen to! Her songs are energetic, sexy, and enticing. And what Shanias voice lacks in range, depth, and quality, are made up by her seemingly never-ending supply energy, enthusiasm, and love for her craft. I say again that Shania is just plan fun to listen to.
The Woman in Me is Shanias second swing at the preverbal music stardom bat and this time she hit if not a grand slam, certainly a home run with an album, which contains a marvelous mixture of feel good and brokenhearted tunes. All of the songs, with the exception of You Win My Love (penned by Lange alone), and Leaving is The Only Way Out (written by Twain alone), were written by the Shania Twain and her husband Jeff Mutt Lange; Lange also produced the album. The two did a masterful job writing the lyrics and music for this album. The finished product is a polished lively, toe-tapping, head popping, tear-jerking collage that is sure to please even the most discerning country music fan.
Its a rare affair when I enjoy every track on an album, but from the opening rhythm to the last fade away, none of the songs on this album failed to catch and hold my attention. Yet being the romantic fool I am the slow tracks (Home Aint Where His Heart is (Anymore, the title track, The Woman in Me, and Raining on Our Love), are my favorite cuts on the LP.
The CD opens with the sweet turned sad ballad Home Aint Where His Heart is (Anymore). From there the album takes off on a musical roller coaster ride, wherein all the classical country music instruments are sampled and re-sampled, but still manage to produce a uniqueness I found fresh and inviting on each track. Indeed its the music that carries the album, Shanias voice seems at times incidental to the magic of the music. During several tracks I found myself thinking, man these guy must have had fun playing putting together the sessions for this album.
The only hiccup on the album for me is the last track, God Bless The Child. Although the track is only 1 minute and 30 seconds in duration, it seems oddly out of place on this LP, and to tell the truth I dont particularly care for it. Solidly written and nicely produced, Shanias voice lacks the power and range to do the song justice.
If this album is not part of your Shania collection, your collection is not complete. With enough energy and drive to power the space shuttle, The Woman in Me is well worth the listen and should be playing in a CD player near you, perhaps while you are driving; its guaranteed to make rush hour traffic something to look forward to
