Lyric There Ought to Be a Law

(Betty Jo Gibson)

Well, there oughta be a law against what he s done
Stole my heart and away he run
Didn t leave me a thing but misery
And there oughta be a law against the way he s hurtin me.

The world keeps turnin round and round but I m just sad and still
Since my baby left me I ve just lost my will
All my hope care up and go has done got up and gone
I guess it when to find a place where happiness has flown.

Well, there oughta be a law against what he s done
Stole my heart and away he run
Didn t leave me a thing but misery
And there oughta be a law against the way he s hurtin me.

He used to say he d be my friend as long as I should please
If all my friends re like him well who needs enemies
They oughta pass a loss away to lock him off for life
To make him honor and the way and take me for his wife.

Well, there oughta be a law against what he s done
Stole my heart and away he run
Didn t leave me a thing but misery
And there oughta be a law against the way he s hurtin me.

And there oughta be a law against the way he s hurtin me...
