Jerry Butler Moon River lyrics

He don't love you like I love you
If he did, he wouldn't break your heart
He don't love you like I love you
He's trying to tear us apart

Fare thee well, I know you're leavin'
For the new love that you've found
The handsome guy that you've been dating, whoa
I got a feelin' he's gonna put you down, because

He don't love you like I love you
If he did, he wouldn't break your heart
He don't love you like I love you
He's trying to tear us apart, now

He uses all the great quotations

He says the things I wish I could say
Whoa, but he's had so many rehearsals
Girl, to him it's just another play, but wait

And when the final act is over
And you're left standing all alone
When he takes his bow and makes his exit
I'll be there to take you home

He don't love you and he never will like I love you
Because if he did, he wouldn't break your heart
Oh, he don't love you, girl
