Well big daddy's little bitty tears are done and Gibson's lonesome No 1
Marty's singin' Ruby Ann he's the devil woman's man
No one ever gets to know the real me

The way I sit here singing the blues I know that I was born to lose
I fall to pieces he's got you maybe I'm lonesome No 2

Just put your sweet lips to the phone and tell Jim Reeves to go on home
And then you're gonna get to know the real me

[ guitar ]
I know I can't stop loving you I think I've got the lovesick blues
Now you're gone it's plain to see that you'd be glad to release me
You got me singin' hello walls I'm even yodellin' like like my pa
But still nobody gets to know the real me

She's walkin' away and there she goes hey don't go near the eskimos
I'm sailin' on the heartbreak sea could I be lonesome No 3

Now you may like this little controls but I'll get sued by Acuff-Rose
Cause they don't want the world to know the real me
