I Don't Believe You Wanted to Leave

"Some of the songs I heard by other people
Great artists and smaller artists
Known writers and unknown writers
Back in my formative years
Musical and career wise
Like back in 1955 and 56
Though I never recorded those songs
And never sang them in public
I've been singing those songs for many many years
Like a friend of mine named Glen Tubb wrote a song
At my house in 1956 that I always remembered "
I don't believe you wanted to leave me
You cried too much when you went away
I know deep down inside that you still loved me
But you listened to those lying tongues and things they had to say
Of course they said I was to blame
True or not  you felt ashamed
And they called you a fool each time you listened to my alibis
But I don't believe you wanted to leave me
You cried too much when we said goodbye
There's gotta be a way to win
Your love back once again
Cause it just ain't right
To let a love like we had fade and die
And I don't believe you wanted to leave me
You cried too much when we said goodbye
