I'm Not at All Sorry for You
Hank Snow · Legendary [BMG International] [2003]
Don't come to me with tears in your eyes
Just because he couldn't be true
And expecting me to sympathize
I'm not at all sorry for you.
You know I realize all that you been through
Because you treated me just the way he's treating you
It's too late now to stop all worryin' you
I'm not at all sorry for you.
--- Instrumental ---
Do you remember the tears that I cried
On the night you said we were through
Like the tears that you now try to hide
I'm not at all sorry for you.
You know I realize all that you been through
Because you treated me just the way he's treating you
It's too late now to stop all worryin' you
I'm not at all sorry for you...
