Too Used to Being With You [W' Skeeter Davis]
Bobby Bare · All-American Boy [Bear Family] [1994]
(Jack Rhodes - Don Carter)
Mhm, too used to that certain someone
To offer my love to anyone new
My excuse for not wanting no one
Too used to being with you.
When you lose a true love you treasure
Other offers are just the past time
You find a kiss just a cheap imitation
The love they offer's not real genuine.
Too used to that certain someone
To offer my love to anyone new
My excuse for not wanting no one
Too used to being with you.
Some other's arms may hold and caress you
And some other's lips may burn on my own
While my eyes are filled with their beauty
My heart inside will be crying alone.
Too used to that certain someone
To offer my love to anyone new
My excuse for not wanting no one
Too used to being with you...
Mhm, too used to that certain someone
To offer my love to anyone new
My excuse for not wanting no one
Too used to being with you.
When you lose a true love you treasure
Other offers are just the past time
You find a kiss just a cheap imitation
The love they offer's not real genuine.
Too used to that certain someone
To offer my love to anyone new
My excuse for not wanting no one
Too used to being with you.
Some other's arms may hold and caress you
And some other's lips may burn on my own
While my eyes are filled with their beauty
My heart inside will be crying alone.
Too used to that certain someone
To offer my love to anyone new
My excuse for not wanting no one
Too used to being with you...
Too Used to Being With You
Bobby Bare's 1966 recording of 'Too Used to Being With You' stands as a poignant example of his mastery of the country ballad. Originally written by W' Skeeter Davis, the song captures the melancholy of a relationship that has outlasted its initial passion, a theme Bare articulated with his signature gentle vocal delivery. Featured on the compilation 'All-American Boy,' the track exemplifies the emotional depth found in his RCA Victor catalog from the mid-1960s. The recording reflects the era's focus on storytelling and acoustic instrumentation, cementing Bare's reputation as a vocalist capable of conveying complex feelings through understated performance rather than dramatic flair.
