You Were Only Teasing Me Recorded by Ernest Tubb Written by T. Texas Tyler and Ernest Tubb
C Once I held you in my arms F D7 And you thrilled me with your charm G7 C But I knew you were only teasing me
And you said that you'd be true F D7 But I knew just what you'd do G7 You'd break my heart C And then you'd say we're through
F Sweetheart you even said C You'd rather be dead D7 G7 Than for me to be far away C Now it's coming home to you F D7 And I know that you'll be blue G7 C Cause you knew you were only teasing me
Each mistake dear that you've made F D7 Leaves a debt that must be paid G7 C That can't be done with just an IOU
But you must pay with your heart F D7 Pay in full and not in part G7 C You can't know happiness until you do.
