I've Thought of Leaving You

Kitty Wells · Country Music Time [1964]

(Lee Emerson)



I can see what's on your mind

I can tell you every time you thought of leavin'

Thought that I'd just wait and see

How long you keep deceiving me with all your cheatin'.



Lots of times you'd almost slip

But oh, how quick those lying lips would cover up for you

All you have to do was say

I'd like to pack and get away, I've thought of leaving too.



You don't have to tell me things I already knew

Every time your lips would lie your eyes would tell on you

Never even give our love a good chance to win

Till you were out and looking again.



Before you go I'll tell you true

I used to follow her and you your secret places

I wasn't too blinded to see

You wanted her instead of me on your happy faces.



Guess it's over, this is it

Might as well just call it quits you're free to go now

Hope she doens't think that she can hold you better

Than me you'll never slow down.



You don't have to tell me things I already knew

Every time your lips would lie your eyes would tell on you

Never even give our love a good chance to win

Till you were out and looking again.



Yes', it's over, this is it

Might as well just call it quits you're free to go now

Hope she doens't think that she can hold you better

Than me you'll never slow down...
