Preciatcha

(album: If It Wasn't For You - 2020)

I knew I'd run into you
It was bound to happen
Been limping since you left
But hey, I managed
Same smile, same dream
Just a different jacket
Marlon Brando pretty
Still kinda gets me

Mama always said
Broken hearts are a blessing
And every hand that you hold
Holds one hell of a lesson
Guess I'm rambling a little
But there's something I just gotta say

Preciatcha, every time you made me cry
I appreciate ya, even how you said good bye
Cut me deep, cut me loose
Cut me out like a piece of paper
But it taught me that isn't love
So how can I hate ya?
I appreciate ya
I, I appreciate ya

You know me I tell the truth
When I drink tequila
You think it's hard to say to you?
Well, try the mirror
Same girl, same heart, different attitude
Can't play the victim and learn anything new

So I appreciate ya, every time you made me cry
I appreciate ya, even how you said good bye
Cut me deep, cut me loose
Cut me out like a piece of paper
But it taught me that isn't love
So how can I hate ya?
I appreciate ya
I, I appreciate ya

Oh, I, ay, yeah
Oh, oh, oh

I wish the best for you, I really do
I hope your happy
If you got well wishes of your own
Then aim 'em at me
But if you don't, baby, that's okay
I appreciate ya anyway

Preciatcha, every time you made me cry
I appreciate ya, even how you said good bye
Cut me deep, cut me loose
Cut me out like a piece of paper
But it taught me that isn't love
So how can I hate ya?
I appreciate ya
I, I appreciate ya
(I appreciate ya, I, I)

I appreciate ya
