Patty Loveless - If You Don't Want Me lyrics

(Warden/Emory Gordy,Jr.)

Never really felt like I belonged

Just about that time, you came along

Lead me to expect, your love and your respect

But lately you don't let those feelin's show

I don't really want somebody else

But I won't be your prize upon a shelf

I'd rather feel this emptiness

Than be something you possess

If you don't want me

Let me go

Can't we both admit

We made the most of it

And we were wrong

Don't you realize

The best years of our lives

Will soon be gone

If you hold on

I know there must be more to life than this

Neglected vows wrapped in a token kiss

Lonely and ignored

I can't take it anymore

If you don't want me

If you don't love me

If you don't want me

Let me go
