Jeannie C. Riley - Country Girl

I Love Him

He was just every day plain as water or a piece of clay
Why did I let him stay, I love him
Early morning the paper came, he would run out in the rain
He would kiss me on his way, I love him.

Then for breakfast I'd make a mess, burn his bacon and what was left
His same old smile I'd always get, I love him
Then his ride would come by and from the corner of my eye
I see them watch us say goodbye, I love him.

Yes, I was the one who took him from her
I just couldn't help myself
Another woman cries alone while I hold the one she's known
If it's right, if it's wrong, I love him.

Yes, I was the one who took him from her
I just couldn't help myself
Another woman cries alone while I hold the one she's known
If it's right, if it's wrong, I love him.

Oh, I love him, yes, I love him, hmm, I love him...
