Don't You Ever Get Tired
Dottie West · A Legend in My Time/The Sound of Country Music [Co [2004]
You make my eyes run over all the time
You're happy when I'm out of my mind
You don't love me but you won't let me be
Don't you ever get tired of hurtin' me?
You must think I look bad with a smile
For you haven't let me have one in such a long, long while
Still I keep coming back, how can this be
Don't you ever get tired of hurtin' me?
You must think I look bad with a smile
For you haven't let me have one in such a long, long while
Still I keep coming back, how can this be
Don't you ever get tired of hurtin' me?...
