YOU'D BETTER GO
(Harlan Howard / Wynn Stewart)


Jean Shepard - 1958
Johnny & Jonie Mosby - 1962
Jan Howard - 1962





You'd better go, each moment that you linger
Makes me forget his ring is on my finger
We love each other, but I'm his, so we must draw the line
You'd better go before I change my mind

You'd better go, for I'm afraid your charms
Will shatter my resistance and I'll end up in your arms
He loves me so and, dear, you know I hate to be unkind
You'd better go before I change my mind

To keep you here would thrill me beyond measure
But we're not always free to do the things that bring us pleasure
He loves me so and, dear, you know we'd hate ourselves in time
You'd better go before I change my mind
