Satin Sheets
Tammy Wynette · Another Lonely Song [Epic] [1974]
Satin sheets to lie on, satin pillows to cry on
Still I'm not happy, don't you see
Big long Cadillac, tailor mades upon my back
Still I want you to set me free.
I found another man
Who can give me more than you can
Though you've given me everything money can buy
But your money can't hold me tight
Like he does on a long, long night
You know you didn't keep me satisfied.
Satin sheets to lie on, satin pillows to cry on
Still I'm not happy, don't you see
Big long Cadillac, tailor mades upon my back
Still I want you to set me free.
Satin sheets to lie on, satin pillows to cry on
Still I'm not happy, don't you see
Big long Cadillac, tailor mades upon my back
Still I want you to set me free.
We've been through thick and thin
Together braved the fair and stormy weather
We've had all the hard times you and I
And now that I'm a big success
You called today and you confessed
And told me things that make me want to die.
You told me there's another man
Who can give more than I can
And I've given everything that cash will buy
You can buy me a peaceful night
With loving arms around me tight
And you're too busy to notice the hurt in my eyes...
