She's A Stranger To Me Now Lyrics

Mama's Pride She's A Stranger To Me Now

SKY'S BLUE, WATER'S TOO, SO AM I TODAY.
I PACKED MY LADY'S BAGS FOR HER AND SENT HER ON HER WAY
SHE TURNED AND LOOKED SO STRANGELY AS SHE HEADED DOWN THE WALK
WONDERIN' WHY MY FACE WAS BLANK AND WHY I COULDN'T TALK


(CHORUS)
SHE'S A SELFISH LADY,
WHO'S THOUGHTLESS WAYS I COULD NOT ALLOW.
SHE WAS MY FRIEND, MY WIFE, AND LOVER
BUT SHE'S A STRANGER TO ME NOW


THE EARLY DAYS WERE LIKE A MAZE OF FANTASY AND THRILL.
SHE PLAYED HER LITTLE GAME WITH ME AND TRIED TO BREAK MY WILL.
I'M NOT A SCHOLAR, NOT A GENIUS, NEVER HAD MUCH SCHOOL .
BUT I AIN'T CRAZY AND I KNOW WHEN I'VE BEEN MADE A FOOL. ......(CHORUS)

NOW SHE'S GONE AND I'M ALONE, FEELIN' RATHER POOR
SHE'S RELIEVED CAUSE SHE'S NOT IN MY SHADOW ANYMORE.
' THINK I'LL DRINK SOME WHISKEY MAYBE LET MYSELF UNWIND
AND FEEL PITY FOR THE LADY CAUSE SHE'S NOT IN HER RIGHT MIND.....(CHORUS
