I Don't Believe You Wanted To Leave Lyrics - Personal File - Johnny Cash

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 careerwise 

Like 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'll always remember. 

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 say 

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 

There's gotta to 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.
