Lyrics

🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤

… George Jones & Keith Richards

… Darlin’, there’s talk around town
‘Bout a girl who spreads love around
Well softly
Darling, say it’s not you!

… They say that she comes in alone
They say her self respect is gone
That each night she leave with someone new
Darlin’, say it’s not you!

… At first what they said didn’t hurt me
Until they mentioned her name
Then slowly the tears overtook me
‘Cause her name and yours is the same.

… Each night till the breaking of dawn
I’m praying that your not one
Tell me love, say it’s not true
Darlin’, say it’s not you!

… Darlin’, say it’s not you!
