Jerry Reed - It Don't Work That Way lyrics

She's nothin' but a woman just another pretty face

You can't find another girl just to take her place

No use a makin' a fool of yourself you can't find a somebody else

But honey it don't work that way and I'm just kiddin' myself when I say

I'll forget someday cause honey real love it don't work that way

[ ac.guitar ]

It looks mighty good this smile I wear actin' like I just don't care

If anybody mentions yesterday I'll just try to laugh it away

But honey it don't work...

I can walk around puttin' on there tellin' everybody that I don't care

But it's hard to hide the pain inside when a lonely heart is missin' you

And the love that we once knew

Cause I've tried to take the memory of all the love you gave to me

And put it off out of my heart so I can make a brand new start

But honey it don't work...
