I Know Your Married (But I Love You Still)
Patty Loveless · Mountain Soul [2001]
I know you're married but I love you still.
The day I met you my heart spoke to me
It said to love you through eternity
Now knowing that you were another's bride
I vowed I'll always be close by your side
I love you darlin' I always will
I know you're married but I love you still.
--- Instrumental ---
You broke a heart dear that would die for you
I'd give the world if I could be with you
The game is over now I know I've lost
A broken heart will have to pay the cost
I love you darlin' I always will
I know you're married but I love you still.
--- Instrumental ---
You know I love you and I always will
I know you're married but I love you still
You know I love you and I always will
I know you're married but I love you still...
