Somebody Else You've Known

(Merle Haggard)



I've always been the kinda guy that didn't love a lot

I took all the love they offered me with ease

And it didn't make much difference if they loved me or not

'Cause I'd love 'em for a while then I'd leave.



Yeah, I can't believe it's really me hurtin' like I do

Just because you left me all alone

I've seen it happen many times to other guys you knew

Surely I must be somebody else you've known.



--- Instrumental ---



Well, when I first met you darling you impressed me more than some

I should have took the warning way back then

But I never stopped to think it that even my day had to come

And like the other guys I want you back again.



Yeah, I can't believe it's really me hurtin' like I do

Just because you left me all alone

I've seen it happen many times to other guys you knew

Surely I must be somebody else you've known.
