I Can Stand It (As Long As You Can)

Skeeter Davis · A Place in the Country (RCA Victor) [1970]

(Mitchell Torok - Ramona Redd)



I can stand it as long as you can

'Cause I just don't need you anymore.



You got it in your mind your leavin's hurt me

That I sit and cry while you paint the town

And all this time you's thinking that I need you

Well really it's the other way around.



I can stand it as long as you can

'Cause I just don't need you anymore.



--- Instrumental ---



I'll wait here by the phone a few nights longer

I'll give you every chance to save your heart

You're only out dancing with a new love

Just to keep from falling all apart.



I can stand it as long as you can

'Cause I just don't need you anymore.



I just don't need you anymore...
