(Sanger D. Shafer)
If it was in your mind
To really cut me down
If it was in your plan
To walk me in the ground
You left with him last night
And daylight told the rest
And if you planned on hurtin' me
You're an overnight success.
I couldn't blame someone
Who'd steal your love away
Because I know what I've lost
And all he's gained
Sweetheart last night I know
He's got the very best
And if you planned on hurtin' me
You're an overnight success.
Can you handle all you've won
From breakin' my pride?
Will he stay with you and help you
Spend all the tears I've cried?
Sweetheart, I love you so
And wish you, happiness
And if you planned on hurtin' me
You're an overnight success...
If it was in your mind
To really cut me down
If it was in your plan
To walk me in the ground
You left with him last night
And daylight told the rest
And if you planned on hurtin' me
You're an overnight success.
I couldn't blame someone
Who'd steal your love away
Because I know what I've lost
And all he's gained
Sweetheart last night I know
He's got the very best
And if you planned on hurtin' me
You're an overnight success.
Can you handle all you've won
From breakin' my pride?
Will he stay with you and help you
Spend all the tears I've cried?
Sweetheart, I love you so
And wish you, happiness
And if you planned on hurtin' me
You're an overnight success...
