Overnight Success

(Sanger D. Shafer)



If it was in your mind

To really cut me down

If it was in your plan

To walk me in the ground

You left with him last night

And daylight told the rest

And if you planned on hurtin' me

You're an overnight success.



I couldn't blame someone

Who'd steal your love away

Because I know what I've lost

And all he's gained

Sweetheart last night I know

He's got the very best

And if you planned on hurtin' me

You're an overnight success.



Can you handle all you've won

From breakin' my pride?

Will he stay with you and help you

Spend all the tears I've cried?

Sweetheart, I love you so

And wish you, happiness

And if you planned on hurtin' me

You're an overnight success...
