YOU WON'T HAVE HER LONG
(Gail Talley)

Marty Robbins - 1964



 
You didn't have to have your friends to tell me
That the love she once had for me is gone
They say she's yours and for a while she will be
You've got her now, but you won't have her long

Don't talk too loud, her love is imitation
Don't walk too proud, for soon you'll walk alone
You're happy now, but soon they'll hear you saying
You've got her now, but you won't have her long

(Instrumental Break)

If you think you own the world, you're only dreaming
And you'll wake up soon and find your dream is gone
You'll find to her your heart is just a plaything
You've got her now, but you won't have her long

Don't talk too loud, her love is imitation
Don't walk too proud, for soon you'll walk alone
You're happy now, but soon they'll hear you saying
You've got her now, but you won't have her long
