Tell Me Something I Don't Know
George Jones · A Good Year For The Roses
Don't tell me the one I love's gonna leave me
That her love for me was dying slow
Don't tell me she's looking for someone new
Tell me something I don't know.
I've been preparing myself for this day
'Cause I knew she was making plans to go away
Don't tell me that my teardrops are showing
Tell me something I don't know.
--- Instrumental ---
I've been preparing myself for this day
'Cause I knew she was making plans to go away
Don't tell me that my teardrops are showing
Tell me something I don't know.
Tell me something I don't know...
