She's Not Yours Anymore
Ferlin Husky · Foster and Rice Songbook [ABC] [1975]
The fact that she's gone has become very real
Is this really hurt or regret that I feel
All of the things that you're so sorry for
Aren't things you can change
She's not yours anymore.
You cheated on her and although she knew
She swallowed her pride and kept loving you
You promised to change but she'd heard that before
Now it's out of your hands
She's not yours anymore.
So now you know
Now that you're free
What she meant to you
She now means to me.
You were so sure that she wouldn't go
You made the mistake of telling her so
But now that she's gone
You have heartaches in store
So live with it friend
She's not yours anymore...
