Charley Pride Lyrics
"I Could Have Saved You the Time"

(Jack Clement)

You wanted to know that you could break my heart
But I could have told you, you could
You just had to see if I'd go to pieces
But I could have told you I would.

Just think of the time not to mention the trouble
That you threw away on a heart like mine
If you just have to prove that you could destroy me
I could have saved you the time.

--- Instrumental ---

And so now you know that I can be foolish
But I could have told you it's true
And so now you see that I have a glass heart
But I could have told you I do.

There may come a time you may run into trouble
You might find the need for a love like mine
If you're wondering which fool will be waiting for you
I could have saved you the time...
