SHE NEVER LOOKED THAT GOOD WHEN SHE WAS MINE
(Bob Morrison / Johnny McRae)


John Anderson - 1982
George Jones & Patti Page - 1986




As recorded by JOHN ANDERSON:

Well, I saw her today and I thought for a while I was dreamin'
She was the prettiest thing I had seen in a long, long time
She introduced me to him and while we were talkin', I just stood there thinkin'
That she never looked that good when she was mine

It was all I could do to hide all the things I was feelin'
Lord, just lookin' at her sent chills up and down my spine
She looked so young in the night, just like an angel and I just stood there dyin'
'Cause she never looked that good when she was mine

I wonder if he stays out late the way I used to do
With all his friends, the jukebox and the wine 
Maybe he just stays at home and lets her know he loves her
'Cause she never looked that good when she was mine

Oh, and maybe he just stays at home and lets her know he loves her
'Cause she never looked that good when she was mine

As recorded by GEORGE JONES and PATTI PAGE
titled "You Never Looked That Good When You Were Mine":

GEORGE:
Well I saw you today and I thought for a while I was dreaming
You were the loveliest girl I'd seen in a long, long time
You introduced me to him and while we were talking, I just stood there thinking
You never looked that good when you were mine

PATTI:
It was all I could do to hide all the things I was feelin'
Lord, just lookin' at you sent chills up and down my spine
I wanted so much to reach out and touch you, but I just stood there dyin'
You never looked that good when you were mine

GEORGE:
You know, honey, I've wondered so many times
If you still stay out late the way we used to do
With all of our old friends, the jukebox and all that wine

PATTI:  Oh, maybe you just stay at home lovin' one another
BOTH:  'Cause you never looked that good when you were mine
PATTI:  Oh, if I knew then what I know now, we'd still be together
BOTH:  'Cause you never looked that good when you were mine
