Roy Drusky Lyrics
"I'd Rather Loan You Out"

(Vic McAlpin - Roy Drusky - Lester Vanadore)

I'm alone while you're somewhere with some friends of yours
I'd find you but you'd laugh me down I know
It hurts to love so much and not be loved at all
But I'd rather loan you out than let you go.

I'd rather be with you now and then
Than to know I'd never feel your lips again
My dreams are gone but I still want you so
That I'd rather loan you out than let you go.

--- Instrumental ---

At least I'll always know that you loved me once
Even though they stood in line to tell me no
If things with us can't ever be the way they were
Then I'd rather loan you out than let you go.

I'd rather be with you now and then
Than to know I'd never feel your lips again
My dreams are gone but I still want you so
That I'd rather loan you out than let you go...
