I Don’t Believe You Wanted To Leave

[Intro]
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 career-wise, like, uh, 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 always remembered

[Verse 1]
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 said 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

[Verse 2]
There's gotta 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
