George Jones - Say It's Not You Lyrics
Darlin', there's talk around town
'Bout a girl who spreads love around
With soft lips, and eyes crystal blue
Darling, say it's not you!
They say that she comes in alone
They say her self respect is gone
That each night she leave with someone new
Darlin', say it's not you!
At first what they said didn't hurt me
Until they mentioned her name
Then slowly the tears overtook me
Cause her name and yours is the same
Each night till the breaking of dawn
I'm praying that you're not one
Tell me love, say it's not true
Darlin', say it's not you!
Darlin', say it's not you!
