She Knows Why

(album: Honky-Tonk Man - 1962)

I have a story I'd like to tell
Broken heart's know it only too well
And she knows why I feel the way I do

She gave me all her love and then she took it away
Blue sky has turned to a solid grey
And she knows why I feel the way I do

Well, I know I'm a walking down the lovesick trails
Been walked down by many before
But when she sees my side of tracks
She'll know I've learned the score

I'll pick my tears put 'em on the shelf
Keep my heartaches to myself
'Cause she knows why I feel the way I do

When she finds somebody new
Then he'll find out what I went through
'Cause she knows why I feel the way I do

She gave me her love and then she took it away
Blue skies had turned to a solid grey
And she knows why I feel the way I do

Well, I know I'm a walking down the lovesick trails
Been walked down by many before
But when she sees my side of tracks
She'll know I've learned the score

I'll pick my tears put 'em on the shelf
And keep my heartaches to myself
'Cause she knows why I feel the way I do
