Not as a Sweetheart

Jim Ed Brown and the Browns · She's Leavin' [RCA] [1972]

(Cindy Walker)



Please don't hang up on me for I just call to say

That I'm leaveing and I won't be back again

And ask you if you'd see me and be with me one more time

Not as a sweetheart but just as a friend.



Not as a sweetheart for I know your love is gone for me

But just for the old time sake leave me a memory do this for me

And please would you take my hand and just kiss me once again

Not as a sweetheart but just as a friend.



Well, thanks darling, anyway no you can't break your date

And plans can't wait and broken hearts can'r mend

So bye bye be a sweet girl and think of me sometime

Not as a sweetheart but just as a friend.



Not as a sweetheart for I know your love is gone for me

But just for the sake of my aching heart

Say something sweet to me for I used to be

Your one and your only love and it hurts to see it end

Not as a sweetheart but just as your friend.



Not as a sweetheart but just as your friend...
