"If That's the Way You Feel" Lyrics

(Carter Stanley - Ralph Stanley)

I don't blame you for I know you want him,
That your love for me was never real.
I could hold you but you'd be unhappy,
But it's all right if that's the way you feel.

I know that I will always go on caring,
And my feelings, now, I must conceal.
I still need you and I want you with me,
But it's all right if that's the way you feel.

--- Instrumental ---

I always knew someday I would lose you
When those lies about me were revealed
It's plain to see, sweetheart, you believe them
But it's all right if that's the way you feel.

I know that I will always go on caring
And my feelings, now, I must conceal
I still need you and I want you with me
But it's all right if that's the way you feel.

But it's all right if that's the way you feel...
