George Jones

(Charlie Carter)
It wasn't long ago when I first met you
But it didn't take me long to want you near
And the short time that I've known you I've grown to love you
And I can't stand the thought of you not here.
Why, oh why, why did you do it
You may become someone which I'm ashamed
Why, oh why, why did you do it
Why you've become my everything.
The beginning of each day I'm a new man
But by noon I begin to feel the fall
And by night I know I just got to have you
And I know that I must answer to your call.
Why, oh why, why did you do it
You made me become someone which I'm shamed
Why, oh why, why did you do it
Why you've become my everything...
