I aint got a whole lot of money

I aint got a whole lot of time

So I'm writing you here this letter here

Tell you what's on my mind

Been a long time coming

That you gotta know is true

I aint got too much money, honey

And I aint got time for you

You see before I knew you, dear

I had me another love

He was tall and dark and handsome

The one I called the one

Thought it was a long time coming then too

But I found through all my doubt

That I had been the fool

So I'm leavin' back where I belong

Goin' out west

Where my one, true love carries on

And I feel like cryin'

But I don't know why

'Cause I know

Love never dies

And some things have gotta change

Drivin' out into the sunset

All my windows down

Lookin' back on all the memories

The radio's playin' loud

But I can't hear a thing

I'm really not there at all

I'm dancing with you sweetly, dear

And I hear our bodies fall

No, I never wore

Your wedding ring

I regret I never could

Never mothered your child

Or seen you in its smile

And I feel like cryin'

But I don't know why

'Cause I know

Love never dies

And some things have gotta change

I see that since I left you, dear

You found you another love

She's gone and given up her hand

The one you call the One

Guess it was a long time coming

That I really got mine, too

Through all the miles and memories

I am still the fool

So I'm leavin'

Back where I come from

It is more bitter than sweet

To see you with her carry on

And I feel like crying

But I'll hold back the tears

'Cause I know

Love never dies

And some things have gotta change

Some things have gotta change
