SHE USED TO LOVE ME A LOT
(Dennis Morgan / Charles Quillen / Kye Fleming)


David Allan Coe - 1984
Johnny Cash - 1984





I saw her through the window today
She was sittin' in the Silver Spoon Café
I started to keep going, but something made me stop
She used to love me a lot

She looked lonely and I knew the cure
Old memories would win her heart for sure
I thought I'd walk on in there and I give it my best shot
She used to love me a lot

Sat down beside her and she smiled
She said where have you been, it's been awhile
She seemed so glad to see me, Lord, I could read her thoughts
She used to love me a lot

She used to love me with a love that wouldn't die
Looking at her now I can't believe I said goodbye
It would only take a minute to turn back the clock
She used to love me a lot

Well, I reminded her how good it was back then
And I said, you know it's not to late to start again
We could spend a night together, take up where we left off
She used to love me a lot

Then I panicked as she turned to walk away
And as she went out the door I heard her say
Yes, I'm in need of something, but it's something you ain't got
But I used to love you a lot

She used to love me with a love that wouldn't die
Looking at her now, I can't believe she said goodbye
It would only take a minute to turn back that old clock
She used to love me a lot
She used to love me a lot
She used to love me a lot
She used to ......... FADE
