I'd Rather Loan You Out

(Vic McAlpin - Roy Drusky - Lester Vanadore)



I'm alone while you're somewhere with some friends of yours

I'd find you but you'd laugh me down I know

It hurts to love so much and not be loved at all

But I'd rather loan you out than let you go.



I'd rather be with you now and then

Than to know I'd never feel your lips again

My dreams are gone but I still want you so

That I'd rather loan you out than let you go.



--- Instrumental ---



At least I'll always know that you loved me once

Even though they stood in line to tell me no

If things with us can't ever be the way they were

Then I'd rather loan you out than let you go.



I'd rather be with you now and then

Than to know I'd never feel your lips again

My dreams are gone but I still want you so

That I'd rather loan you out than let you go...
