Ernest Tubb How Can I Be Sure lyrics

You only want to break my heart once more
With promises that you'll keep every vow
You told me that you loved me so, so many times before
So how can I be sure, you love me now

Sometimes I dream I'm in your arms embrace
And though how happy you once made me there
But every time I trust in you, another takes my place
So how can I be sure, you really care

You count me in then count me out again

You play with me just like a toy and yet
You make my heart believe in you, then leave that same old pain
So how can I be sure, you won't forget

I'm only sure I'll never love anew
Your memory is in my heart to stay
And foolish me, I'll still be here with open arms for you
For how can I be sure, you'll stay away
