Marty Robbins - Camelia lyrics

rate me

From where I stand I can see all the lights in the city<br />

For one man to love one woman so much it's a pity<br />

From where I stand I can see the canteen-a, she goes to<br />

Where she's not supposed to but goes anyway<br />

<br />

From where I stand I can hear the music and laughter<br />

Camelia keeps tellin' me that's all her young heart is after<br />

I see it differently, I see her there with a man<br />

Camelia keeps lyin', I see, from where I stand<br />

<br />

If there was one ounce of man left in me, I'd accuse her<br />

What's left of a man knows for certain if I do I'll lose her<br />

It wouldn't do to let her know I know she's lyin'<br />

Or that I've been spyin', she'd never come back<br />

<br />

Camelia, I almost despise the ground that you walk on<br />

The reason I don't is, it's me not the ground, that you walk on<br />

Constantly tormented knowing you're just partly mine<br />

Camelia, I hate you and love you at the same time
