Skeeter Davis - One You Slip Around With lyrics

rate me

(Harlan Howard - Charles Owen)

I'd rather be the one you slip around with

Than be the one who's dream of love is gone

Yes, I'd rather be the one you spend your time with

Than be the one at home all alone.

I have the key to heaven when we married

And for a while I brought you happiness

I can't believe your love for me is buried

And every night you share another's kiss.

And I'd rather be the one you slip around with

Than be the one who's dream of love is gone

Yes, I'd rather be the one you spend your time with

Than be the one at home all alone.

--- Instrumental ---

Deep down inside I know that I should leave you

How many tears must fall before I learn

I think of many ways that I could grieve you

And yet I'm always here when you return.

And I'd rather be the one you slip around with

Than be the one who's dream of love is gone

Yes, I'd rather be the one you spend your time with

Than be the one at home all alone...
