BUT I WON'T
(Paul Evans / Paul Parnes)


Jim Ed Brown - 1970



Out of words to say 
I turned and walked away
Told her not to worry 
I'd be back another day
But I won't

When she sees we're through
I know what she'll do
She'll learn to forget me
And she'll find somebody new
But I won't

I've loved some, but she was my only lover
I pray I don't hurt her too much
My heart is true, but my mind is a rover
And I can't help this longing 
For another woman's touch

Mmmmm, time will help erase 
The tears from her sweet face
If I do the thing I should 
And clear out of this place
But I won't
Mmmmm, no use foolin', I won't
(Whistling)
But I won't 
Mmmmm, no I won't
(Whistling...........FADE)
