(dwight yoakam)



I've seen 'em watch you and

Make plans what they'll do when

Someday you are no longer mine



I've heard 'em carry on about

How when i'm finally gone they're

Gonna treat you oh so fine



But i could have told them that

They'd never hold you if they tried



I could have told them

You bend and fold men who

Thought they would have you for a prize



I could have told them

Those foolish soul'd men that

They'd never hold you if they tried hey



I've been made real aware of

Pleasure that they'll share with

You soon as i slip your mind



I've listened to 'em boast how

I'll just be a ghost once

They start takin' up your time



But i could have told them that

They'd never hold you if they tried



I could have told them that

They'd never hold you if they tried hey
