She's Better Than Most
Hank Locklin · Please Help Me I'm Falling [Bear Family] [1995]
Don't whisper gossip about her
Though it may be true what you say.
I don't want to hear it I don't need to hear it
To me she's better than most and I love her
Don't talk to me of affairs in the past
Give her your blessings she's found love at last.
So don't whisper gossip about her
Though it may be true what you say
The stories you rake up can't cause us to break up
To me she's better than most and I love her.
--- Instrumental ---
The tears that she's cried have not been in vain
Tears clean a heart of heartaches and shame
So don't whisper gossip about her
Your stories can't stand in our way
'Cause I'll just upset them forgive and forget them.
To me she's better than most and I love her...
