Lyrics:

1989
Skip Ewing, Don Sampson

Karen Wallace had been
We worked together, laughin
Not more than a week or two ago

Now, you won't read my letters
I don't see you ever
When I call you, you ain't never home

Is there someone I should know about
Is he the reason why I'm doin without
Tell me no.

Oh, Karen, honey, I ain't fairin' so well, its true
I'm yearnin', I'm certain I'm hurtin' for you
It's all I do
Oh, Karen, I should be sharin' this love with you

Look at how I'm shaken
The heart in me is breakin'
Baby, this is makin me insain

All my friends say I should
Give you up and I would
If I could
But there just ain't no way

If there's anything that I can do
If there's anyway to get back to you
I gotta know

Oh, Karen, honey, I ain't fairin' so well, its true
I'm yearnin', I'm certain I'm hurtin' for you
It's all I do
Oh, Karen, I should be sharin' this love with you

If there's anything that I can do
Honey, if there's anyway to get back to you
I gotta know

Oh, Karen, honey, I ain't fairin' so well, oh, its true now
I'm yearnin', I'm certain I'm hurtin' for you
It's all I do
Oh, Karen, I should be sharin' this love with you

Oh, Karen, I ain't fairin' so well, its true
I'm yearnin', I'm certain I'm hurtin' for you
It's all I do
Oh, Karen, I should be sharin' this love with you

Oh, Karen, honey, I ain't fairin' so well, aw, its true now
I'm yearnin', I'm certain I'm hurtin' for you, baby
It's all I do
Oh, Karen, I should be sharin' this love with you
Oh, Karen, why you wanta do me like that, girl
