It Don't Work That Way

Jerry Reed · The Unbelievable Voice And Guitar Of Jerry Reed/nashville Underground [1996]

She's nothin' but a woman just another pretty face



You can't find another girl just to take her place



No use a makin' a fool of yourself you can't find a somebody else



But honey it don't work that way and I'm just kiddin' myself when I say



I'll forget someday cause honey real love it don't work that way



[ ac.guitar ]



It looks mighty good this smile I wear actin' like I just don't care



If anybody mentions yesterday I'll just try to laugh it away



But honey it don't work...



I can walk around puttin' on there tellin' everybody that I don't care



But it's hard to hide the pain inside when a lonely heart is missin' you



And the love that we once knew



Cause I've tried to take the memory of all the love you gave to me



And put it off out of my heart so I can make a brand new start



But honey it don't work...
