Words and music by hank williams, sr.
[g] i could shame you 'til you hide your face
And drag you right down in disgrace
But what good would it [d] do
I know i'd still want [g] you.
I could tell the world you're doin' wrong
That i was stringin' you along
And if it all were [d] true
I know i'd still want [g] you.
The [c] world with me might sympathize
[g] when i got thru with all my lies
But i'd be just as [d] blue
'cause my heart would still want [g] you-ooo-oo
[d] cry, oh, [g] lord.
I could tell my friends i threw you down
And slander your name all over town
But what good would it do
I know i'd still want you.
If i said i'm happy to be free
The only one i'd fool is me
Because it isn't true
I know i'd still want you.
What's the use to say that you're no good
When i'd crawl back if i could
No matter what you do
I know i'd still want you-ooo-oo
Cry, oh, lord.
I could smile and say that i don't care
And then go home and pull my hair
But what good would it do
I know i'd still want you.
I could say that someone put me wise
And get revenge by telling lies
But when i got all thru
I know i'd still want you.
If the things i said was to break your heart
I'd be the first to take your part
'cause if all these lies were true
I know i'd still want you-oooo-oo
Cry, oh, lord.
