I'm Gettin' Tired Of Losing You

(album: Country Partners - 1974)

Well, here you are again
Just like so many times before
Down on your knees you make a promise
Just as like you've made and never kept before to me
You're telling me you're sorry for the things you say
You didn't mean to do.

But old friend you'd better make it
Because I'm getting tired of losing you
I've lost you to the booze and bars and uptown girls
A dozen times before.

For years I've tried to fake it
But I ain't a gonna take it anymore
Though I hoped that you'll rehearse your line
You're gonna say and pray it will come true
'Cause there won't be no next time, buddy
I'm getting tired of losing you.

But darling, please, please don't leave me
I know I did you wrong before
Just like you said I would
Oh, darling please, please believe me
If you'll take me back just one more time
I promise I'll be good.

Well, here you are again
Just like so many times before
Down on your knees you make a promise
Just as like you've made and never kept before to me
You're telling me you're sorry for the things you say
You didn't mean to do...
