What Did You Expect Me To Do

George Strait · The Ultimate Collection [Madacy 2 Disc] [2006]

(Sanger D.Shafer)



Sometimes I smile when you stayed home for awhile.

What did you expect me to do?

I always cry each time you told a lie.

What did you expect me to do?



Chours:

Each time I forgave you, you grew bolder,

And each time you hurt me my heart grew colder

Sure, I love you but I found someone new.

What did you expect me to do?



--- Instrumental ---



Chours:

Each time I forgave you, you grew bolder,

And each time you hurt me my heart grew colder

Sure, I love you but I found someone new.

What did you expect me to do?..
