HOW DO YOU THINK I FEEL
(Wayne Walker / Webb Pierce)
Red Sovine - 1954
Jimmie Rodgers Snow & The Tennessee Playboys - 1954
Elvis Presley - 1956
As recorded by both RED SOVINE and JIMMIE RODGERS SNOW:
How do you think I feel
I know your love's not real
Another's purty speech
Has put you out of reach
How do you think I feel
How do you think we stand
I know you've made your plans
But you've included three
And that's too much for me
How do you think we stand
I won't be true again
I know that I can't win
So why should I pretend
That you still love me
How do you think I feel
I know your love's not real
The one I'm mad about
Is just a gadabout
How do you think I feel
(Instrumental Break)
How do you think I feel
I know your love's not real
The one I'm mad about
Is just a gadabout
How do you think I feel
How do you think we stand
I know you've made your plans
But you've included three
And that's too much for me
How do you think we stand
I won't be true again
I know that I can't win
So why should I pretend
That you still love me
How do you think I feel
I know your love's not real
The one I'm mad about
Is just a gadabout
How do you think I feel

As recorded by ELVIS PRESLEY,
1st September 1956, Hollywood, California:
How do you think I feel
Well, I know your love's not real
The girl I'm mad about
Is just a gadabout
How do you think I feel
How do you think we stand
Well, I know you've made your plans
But you've included three
And that's too much for me
How do you think I feel
I won't be true again
I know that I can't win
So why should I pretend
That you still love me
How do you think I feel
Well, I know your love's not real
The one I'm mad about
Is just a gadabout
How do you think I feel
(Instrumental Break)
How do you think I feel
Well, I know your love's not real
The girl I'm mad about
Is just a gadabout
How do you think I feel
Well, how do you think we stand
I know you've made your plans
Another's pretty face
Has put me out of place
How do you think I feel
I won't be true again
I know that I can't win
So why should I pretend
That you still love me
How do you think I feel
Well, I know your love's not real
And you've included three
And that's too much for me
How do you think I feel
