You Won't Have Her Long lyrics

You didn't have to have your friends to tell me

That the love she once had for me is gone

They say she's yours, and for a while she will be

You've got her now, but you won't have her long

Don't talk too loud, her love is imitation

Don't walk too proud, for soon you'll walk alone

You're happy now, but soon they'll hear you saying:

"You've got her now, but you won't have her long"

If you think you own the world, you're only dreamin'

And you'll wake up soon and find your dream is gone

You'll find, to her, your heart is just a plaything

You've got her now, but you won't have her long

Don't talk too loud, her love is imitation

Don't walk too proud, for soon you'll walk alone

You're happy now, but soon they'll hear you saying:

"You've got her now, but you won't have her long"
