I Wish I Loved Somebody Else

(Tom T. Hall)



I wish I loved somebody else not you

Someone else might learn to love me too

I'm your toy and that makes me a fool

Lord, I wish I loved somebody else not you.



Each time I'm hurt it seems to make you glad

Broken toys they make some people sad

I don't know why I love you but I do

Lord, I wish I loved somebody else not you.

I wish I loved somebody else not you

How much worse things could they put me through

You'd leave me out of everything you do

Lord I wish I loved somebody else not you.



Each time I'm hurt it seems to make you glad

Broken toys they make some people sad

I don't know why I love you but I do

Lord, I wish I loved somebody else not you...
