(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
