I've seen 'em watch you and make plans what they'll do
D
When someday, you're no longer mine.

I've heard 'em carry on about how, when I'm finally gone,
D
They're gonna treat you oh so fine.

But I could have told them that
G D
They'd never hold you if they tried.
G
I could have told them that, you bend and fold men who
D
Thought they would have you as a prize.

I could have told them, those foolish souled men that
A
They'd never hold you if they tried.

I've been made real aware of pleasure that they'll share

With you soon as I slip your mind.

Once they start takin' up your time.

They'd never hold you if they tried.
