(Merle Haggard - Red Simpson)

You always find the way to hurt my pride
If I'm not cryin' you're not satisfied
I don't know why you want to hurt me so
But if you're tryin' to break my heart you don't have very far to go.

You don't have very far to go before the heartache begins
I already feel the sadness of a heartbreak settin' in
You're turnin' down the flame of love too low
And if you're tryin' to break my heart you don't have very far to go.

You don't have very far to go before the heartache begins
I already feel the sadness of a heartbreak settin' in
You can't love me and still love to hurt me so
And if you're tryin' to break my heart you don't have very far to go...
