(Tom T. Hall)

I wish I loved somebody else not you
Someone else might learn to love me too
I'm your toy and that makes me a fool
Lord, I wish I loved somebody else not you.

Each time I'm hurt it seems to make you glad
Broken toys they make some people sad
I don't know why I love you but I do
Lord, I wish I loved somebody else not you.

I wish I loved somebody else not you
How much worse things could they put me through
You'd leave me out of everything you do
Lord I wish I loved somebody else not you.

Each time I'm hurt it seems to make you glad
Broken toys they make some people sad
I don't know why I love you but I do
Lord, I wish I loved somebody else not you...
