Why Don't You Love Me
Charley Pride · There's a Little Bit of Hank in Me [RCA Victor] [1980]
(Hank Williams)
Well, why don't you love me
Like you used to do
How come you treat me
Like a worn out shoe?
My hair's still curly
And my eyes are still blue
Why don't you love me
Like you used to do?
Ain't had no lovin', like a huggin' and a kissin'
In a long, long while
We don't get nearer or further or closer
Than a country mile.
Why don't you spark
Like you used to do
And say sweet nothings
Like you used to coo?
I'm the same old trouble
That you've always been through
So why don't you love me
Like you used to do?
--- Instrumental ---
Well, why don't you be
Just like you used to be
How come you find
So many faults with me?
Somebody's changed
So let me give you a clue
Why don't you love me
Like you used to do?
Ain't had no lovin' like a huggin' and a kissin'
In a long, long while
We don't get nearer or further or closer
Than a country mile.
Why don't you say the things
You used to say
What makes you treat me
Like a piece of clay?
My hair's still curly
And my eyes are still blue
Why don't you love me
Like you used to do.
So why don't you love me
Like you used to do?...
Well, why don't you love me
Like you used to do
How come you treat me
Like a worn out shoe?
My hair's still curly
And my eyes are still blue
Why don't you love me
Like you used to do?
Ain't had no lovin', like a huggin' and a kissin'
In a long, long while
We don't get nearer or further or closer
Than a country mile.
Why don't you spark
Like you used to do
And say sweet nothings
Like you used to coo?
I'm the same old trouble
That you've always been through
So why don't you love me
