Jerry Reed - It Don't Work That Way Lyrics

She's nothin' but a woman just another pretty face
You can't find another girl just to take her place
No use a makin' a fool of yourself
You can't find a somebody else

But honey it don't work that way
And I'm just kiddin' myself when I say
I'll forget someday 'cause honey
Real love it don't work that way

It looks mighty good this smile
I wear actin' like I just don't care
If anybody mentions yesterday
I'll just try to laugh it away

But honey it don't work that way
And I'm just kiddin' myself when I say
I'll forget someday 'cause honey
Real love it don't work that way

I can walk around puttin' on there
Tellin' everybody that I don't care
But it's hard to hide the pain inside
When a lonely heart is missin' you
And the love that we once knew

Cause I've tried to take the memory
Of all the love you gave to me
And put it off out of my heart
So I can make a brand new start

But honey it don't work that way
And I'm just kiddin' myself when I say
I'll forget someday 'cause honey
Real love it don't work that way
