The Lyrics…
Don’t you like the way she talks to you
When she’s feeling woman warm
And don’t it make you feel so good
Just to know she’s yours all by yourself
Don’t you like to see the sun go down
When she’s lying close to you
And can’t you feel her all around
When she loves you ain’t she something else
Ain’t she just some kind of lover in the morning
Can’t your arms feel the warmness where she slept
Ain’t she just all that you have ever wanted
And when she loves you ain’t she something else
Don’t you like the way she clings to you
And loves you ’til there’s nothing left
Now tell me don’t her lips taste good
And when she loves you ain’t she something else
Lord, When she loves me, she’s sure something else
The High Priest of Country Music…
Conway Twitty was born Harold Lloyd Jenkins in Friars Point, Mississippi, in 1933, and took his famous stage name in 1957. He found early musical success in pop and rock ‘n’ roll before turning full-time to the country in 1965. As a country artist, he found his way to the top of the Billboard chart 55 times, a record until 2006, with songs such as “Hello Darlin'” and “Slow Hand.”
In 1958, Twitty notched his very first No.1 rock single “It’s Only Make Believe.” Over the next ten years, Twitty swapped from rock to plain country music. With this, he scored his very first country hit “Next In Line” in 1968. This song made his way to becoming a country music legend with 50 No.1 hits. But overall, he has placed a total of 55 No.1 songs on the charts earning his title “High Priest of Country Music.” However, in this generation, George Strait bested Conway Twitty with more than 50 No.1 singles on the country charts.
Not only he has placed numerous singles on top, but also he earned more than 100 awards including 6 Academy of Country Music Awards, 4 Country Music Association Awards, and 2 Grammy Awards.
