"Stop Me If You've Heard This One Before" lyrics

Ernest Tubb and His Texas Troubadours Lyrics

"Stop Me If You've Heard This One Before"

Can I buy you a drink you look lonely
Well, so I might and it might help us both
I can tell by that lost look in your eyes
Just like me you lost the one you loved most

Well, mine walked out into the arms of another
Sayin' I just don't love you no more
And I've just got to tell someone my story
But stop me if you've heard this one before

For I wouldn't think of wasting your time
I've wasted too much of my own
And it's not just a different approach or a line
And I'll leave if you'd rather be alone

Cause that's how you were when I walked in
Well, so am I just like you maybe more
And with each word I speak I die a little
So please, stop me if you've heard this one before

And with each word I speak I die a little
So please, stop me if you've heard this one before
