I Don't Believe You Wanted to Leave Songtext
von Johnny Cash

Some of the songs I heard
By other people
Great artists and smaller artists
Known writers and unknown writers
Back in my formative years
Musical and careerwise
Like back in 1955 and 56
Though I never recorded those songs
And never sang them in public,
I′ve been singing those songs for many many years.
Like a friend of mine named Glenn Tubb wrote a song at my house once in 1956 that I'll always remember.
I don′t believe you wanted to leave me
You cried too much when you went away
I know deep down inside that you still love me
But you listened to those lying tongues
And things they had to say Of course, they say
I was to blame.
True or not,
You felt ashamed
And they called you a fool
Each time you listened to my alibis
But I don't believe you wanted to leave me
You cried too much when we said goodbye
There's gotta to be a way to win
Your love back once again
Cause it just ain′t right
To let a love like we had
Fade and die
And I don′t believe you wanted to leave me
You cried too much when we said goodbye.
