She's Not for You
Willie Nelson · Funny How Time Slips Away
Pay no mind to her
She only wants to play
But she's not for you
She's not for you
And I'm the only one
Who would let her act this way
But she's not for you
She's not for you
So she told you she found
Heaven in your eyes
Well I think it only fair
To warn you that
Sometimes she lies
But it's your heart
I can't tell you
What to do
But she's not for you
She's not for you
[ guitar ]
She just looks for
Greener pastures now and then
And when she grows tired
She knows Old Faithful
Will just take her back again
So just leave her here
I'm used to feeling blue
She's not for you
She's not for you
She's not for you
She's not for you
She only wants to play
But she's not for you
She's not for you
And I'm the only one
Who would let her act this way
But she's not for you
She's not for you
So she told you she found
Heaven in your eyes
Well I think it only fair
To warn you that
Sometimes she lies
But it's your heart
I can't tell you
What to do
But she's not for you
She's not for you
[ guitar ]
She just looks for
Greener pastures now and then
And when she grows tired
She knows Old Faithful
Will just take her back again
So just leave her here
I'm used to feeling blue
She's not for you
She's not for you
She's not for you
She's not for you
She's Not for You
