NOT LIKE IT WAS WITH YOU
(Mel Tillis / Wayne P. Walker)


Red Sovine - 1966
Pam Tillis - 2002



You may see me and think that I'm happy
'Cause I'm out with somebody new
I may make believe she's everything I need
But it's not like it was with you

Aw, I'm always the life of the party
And it looks like my heartaches are few
You may think I have found what makes the world go round
But it's not like it was with you

Not like it was holdin' you
I've tried forgetting, what else could I do

Please believe me, looks are deceiving
And so often a smile hides the blue
Take a second look at me and you are bound to see
That it's not like it was with you
