Right Away

Don Gibson · Other Songs - Don Gibson

Right away I lost my pride and right away we could lie

It's not like I said it would be it's not so easy to forget you I see

I said I would never cry at all if you should leave I'd never try to call

But oh how so wrong I could be oh please won't you come back to me

I said I would never cry at all if you should leave I'd never try to call

But oh how so wrong I could be oh please won't you come back to me
