921. She Used To Love Me A Lot - Johnny Cash



I saw her through the window today
She was sitting in the silver spoon café
I started to keep going
But something made me stop
She used to love me a lot

She looked lonely and I knew the cure
Old memories would wet her heart for sure
I thought I'd walk on in
And I'd give it my best shot
She used to love me a lot

I sat down beside her and she smiled
She said:''where have you been?
It's been a while'
She was glad to see me
I could almost read her thoughts
She used to love me a lot

She used to love me with her love that wouldn't die
Looking at her now I can't believe I said goodbye
It would only take a minute
To turn back the clock
She used to love me a lot

I remember how good it was back then
And I said it's not too late to start again
We could spend the night together
Take up where we left off
She used to love me a lot

But I panicked and she turned to walk away
As she went out the door I heard her say
Yes I'm in need of something
But something you ain't got
But I used to love you a lot

I thought she loved me with her love that wouldn't die
But looking at her now I can't believe she said goodbye
She just left me standing there
I've never been so shocked
She used to love me a lot
