Johnny Horton - Sink The Bismarck lyrics

While all the time that I was loving you

You were busy loving yourself

I would stop breathing if you told me to

Now you're busy loving someone else

Eleven years out of my life

Besides the kids I have nothing to show

Wasted my years, a fool of a wife

I shoulda left your ass long time ago

1-Well I'm not gon' cry, I'm not gon' cry

I'm not gon' shed no tears

No, I'm not gon' cry it's not the time

'Cuz you're not worth my tears

(repeat 1)

2-I was your lover and your secretary

Working every day of the week

Was at the job when no one else was there

Helping you get on your feet

Eleven years of sacrifice

And you can leave me at the drop of a dime

Swallowed my fears, stood by your side

I shoulda left your ass a thousand times

(rpt 1)

I know there are no guarantees

In love you take your chances

But somehow it seems unfair to me

Look at the circumstances

Through sickness and health 'till death do us part

Those were the words that we said from our hearts

So now when you say that you're leaving me

I don't get that part

(repeat 2, 1)
