You know that you're doing lots of things that ain't right
You're out with a different party almost every night
And you're making me look like a crazy fool
So why do I have these doubts about leaving you
Because my heart tells me stay but my pride tells me go
But how can I leave you when I love you so
Which way should I turn I'd sure like to know
My heart tells me stay but my pride tells me go
[ steel - fiddle ]
I'd be so much better off to drive you from my mind
And make you the mem'ries that I'd like to leave behind
I know that these heartaches are what you will put me through
So why do I have these doubts about leaving you
Because my heart tells me stay
