A good old country hurtin' song by Willie P.


(If I Could) Take My Own Advice
Willie P. Bennett 1979

You told me yesterday that I've been on your mind
You call me on the telephone to tell me that you're fine
And still you'd like to cheat on me, whenever you find time
It wouldn't be this way if I could take my own advice

Now, all the people in this town, they stare and laugh at me
And joke about our kind of love: it's anything but free
For who should know this better than the ones who pay the price?
It wouldn't be this way if I could take my own advice

I never thought that lovin' you would cause me so much pain
But every time I ask myself, I find I love you more again

No one enjoys a broken heart but you mend it so damn nice
It wouldn't be this way if I could take my own advice

I never thought that lovin' you would cause me so much pain
But every time I ask myself, I find I love you more again

No one enjoys a broken heart but you mend it so damn nice
It wouldn't be this way if I could take my own advice
It wouldn't be this way if I could take my own advice
