LOVIN' IN VAIN
(Fred Hart)
as recorded by Patsy Cline
1961
I still want your lovin'
And I still need your lovin', but
I can't live a life of lovin' in vain!
Last night I saw you a-walkin', talkin' with another,
Overheard you tell her our love don't mean a thing!
And as I walked away, dear,
My heart broke down inside me!
I still want your lovin',
I still need your lovin', but
I can't live a life of lovin' in vain!
I'd rather be a poor girl, not a penny to my name,
Than to know my life would all be lived in vain!
I'd rather be alone, dear,
If you don't want to change!
I still want your lovin',
I still need your lovin', but
I can't live a life of lovin' in vain!
I still want your lovin',
I still need your lovin', but
I can't live a life of lovin' in vain!
