You Won't Have Her Long

Marty Robbins · Country (1960-1966) [1996]

You didn't have to have your friends to tell me

That the love she once had for me is gone

They say she's yours and for a while she will be

You've got her now but you won't have her long



Don't talk too loud her love is immitation

Don't walk too proud for soon you'll walk alone

You're happy now but soon they'll hear you saying

You've got her now but you won't have her long



If you think you own the world you're only dreamin'

And you'll wake up soon and find your dream is gone

You'll find, to her, your heart is just a plaything

You've got her now but you won't have her long



Don't talk too loud her love is immitation

Don't walk too proud for soon you'll walk alone

You're happy now but soon they'll hear you saying

You've got her now but you won't have her long
