Lyrics:

By David Allan Coe and Skeet Petty

Dedicated to Meme Broussard Coe for love and devotion through it all, To Cherie for the hospital care and Nancy for cooking my meals, and Debbie for leaving and giving me a chance to be myself again.

If I ever needed love, I need it now

Honey, why can't you see me through me

When I pretend that I'm to strong to bend?

This heart can mend a lover or a friend

Stop acting like you never knew me.



How you fantasize, telling little lies

Fairy tales are all you ever see

Don't you realize how you hypnotize

Anyone who's fool enough to look back into your eyes?

And fall in love with you



If I ever wanted someone babe I need you now

Please don't place your self above me

Just out of reach when you could learn to teach

Me to begin loving you again

Why are you doing this to me?
