I Just Thought You'd Like To Know [Alternate Take]
Johnny Cash · Other Songs - Johnny Cash
I just thought you'd like to know
Since you'd made your plans to go
It's gonna hurt me so to see you go
But I hope you find another love
And he'll be good to you
But still and yet I can't forget
The things we used to do
I just thought I'd tell you this
I love you since that first sweet kiss
It's gonna hurt to miss
Your tender kiss
But I hope you get to do the
Things you say you wanna do
But still and yet I can't forget
The happiness we knew
I just thought you'd like to know
How much you've hurt my pride
I just thought you'd like to know
How much my heart has cried over you
But, darling, you could never see
The misery you caused for me
So I will tell you so cause I just
Thought that you'd like to know
Since you'd made your plans to go
It's gonna hurt me so to see you go
But I hope you find another love
And he'll be good to you
But still and yet I can't forget
The things we used to do
I just thought I'd tell you this
I love you since that first sweet kiss
It's gonna hurt to miss
Your tender kiss
But I hope you get to do the
Things you say you wanna do
But still and yet I can't forget
The happiness we knew
I just thought you'd like to know
How much you've hurt my pride
I just thought you'd like to know
How much my heart has cried over you
But, darling, you could never see
The misery you caused for me
So I will tell you so cause I just
Thought that you'd like to know
