If That's the Way You Feel

(Carter Stanley - Ralph Stanley)



I don't blame you for I know you want him,

That your love for me was never real.

I could hold you but you'd be unhappy,

But it's all right if that's the way you feel.



I know that I will always go on caring,

And my feelings, now, I must conceal.

I still need you and I want you with me,

But it's all right if that's the way you feel.

I always knew someday I would lose you

When those lies about me were revealed

It's plain to see, sweetheart, you believe them

But it's all right if that's the way you feel.



I know that I will always go on caring

And my feelings, now, I must conceal

I still need you and I want you with me

But it's all right if that's the way you feel.



But it's all right if that's the way you feel...
