That's When She Started to Stop Loving You

Conway Twitty · The Conway Twitty Collection [Decca Nashville] [1994]

(Wayne Kemp)



Does she seem a little cold when you love her

Does she turn away when you hold her tight

Just search your soul and you will discover

How you hurt her, night after night.



Chorus:

And when was the first time she begged you to love her

But you turned away and acted like a fool

And when was the first time she lay there and cried

Well, that's when she started to stop loving you.



--- Instrumental ---



Do you wonder why she's turning to another

And if you love her you'd better tell her so

'Cause she's finding out that anyone will love her

And it won't be long 'till yoy'll have to let her go.



Chorus:

And when was the first time she begged you to love her

But you turned away and acted like a fool

And when was the first time she lay there and cried

Well, that's when she started to stop loving you...
