You Don't Love Me
Hi-Strung Ramblers Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

After night, you've gone away
There's nothing I can do
Baby, after the night, I can't make you stay
After you telling me you're through

Now after the night there'll be somebody new
Loving these gone red
Tomorrow'll be another idle day for me

After you've gone away

Now you hold your life
Having your fun
Oh, baby, I'll be the lonely one
I'll be

After night you'll go your way
Thinking you've done right

Oh baby, I'll be here left all alone
Mama, after the night
