Words and music by hank williams, sr.



Well, [g] why don't you love me like you used to do

How come you treat me like a [d7] worn out shoe

My [g] hair's still curly and my [c] eyes are still blue

[g] why don't you love me like you [d7] used to [g] do.



Ain't had no [c] lovin' like a huggin' and a kissin'

In a [d7] long, long [g] while

We don't get nearer or further or closer

Than a country [d7] mile;



Why don't you spark me like you used to do

And say sweet nothin's like you used to coo

I'm the same old trouble that you've always been through

So, why don't you love me like you used to do.



Well, why don't you be just like you used to be

How come you find so many faults with me

Somebody's changed so let me give you a clue

Why don't you love me like you used to do.



Ain't had no lovin' like a huggin' and a kissin'

In a long, long while

We don't get nearer or further

Than a country mile;



Why don't you say the things you used to say

What makes you treat me like a piece of clay

My hair's still curly and my eyes are still blue

Why don't you love me like you used to do.
