He'll Never Take the Place of You

Tammy Wynette · The Ways to Love a Man [Epic] [1969]

(Billy Sherrill - Charlie Daniels - Bob Johnson)



Sure he gives me everything I ask for

A kind of love that I never knew

And every night he comes home at the same time

But he'll never ever take the place of you.



He kisses me goodbye every morning

Does the little things you've always used to do

But no matter how he tries it ain't the same thing

'Cause he'll never ever take the place of you.



Don't try to see me

When you come back to town

I finally found myself up straight

So please don't drag me down.



I'll be good to him, I'll make him happy

I owe him so much, what else can I do

And our little boy already calls him daddy

Still he'll never ever take the place of you.



No, he'll never know

Oh, that I still love you so

And he'll never ever

Take the place of you...
