Jones, George - Say It's Not You Lyrics






Darlin', there's talk around town
'Bout a girl who spreads love around
Well softly
Darling, say it's not you!

They say that she comes in alone
They say her self respect is gone
That each night she leave with someone new
Darlin', say it's not you!

At first what they said didn't hurt me
Until they mentioned her name
Then slowly the tears overtook me
'Cause her name and yours is the same.

Each night till the breaking of dawn
I'm praying that your not one
Tell me love, say it's not true
Darlin', say it's not you!

Darlin', say it's not you!

    D.... C....

  59. D.... C....

    This song was on the Jukebox fall of 1970 I wore it out at the city restraint in Olive Hill KY hometown of Mr Tom T Hall

  67. H.... S....

    Pure Jones

  68. B.... M....

    SO HANDSOME  .ITS A SHAME HE HAD TO GET OLD..BUT LOVEGJ ANNY WAY.RIP

  69. K.... ....

    I've probably commented on just about every Jones video on the net at one time or another, but I just can't help it- every time you watch this man perform it just rips at you, leaving you wanting to say somthing prolific about this unsurpassable talent that you just witnessed. I can remember countless times going and buying a new Jones album- you are excited because you know you are about to hear something great. You put the album on and Mr. Jones NEVER dissapoints with his voice... in every damn Jones album I ever bought there was something in there that wasn't just GOOD, there was something SO GOOD that it nearly left you in SHOCK. I couldn't count the times the man made all the hair on your body stand up as this chill went through you. 

    K.... ....

    KLUNKET My feelings exactly!

    K.... ....

    yes they don't play the great singers songs anymore . What a shame

    K.... ....

    Beautifully said!

    K.... ....

    I could not have said it better.  George Jones has been my singing idol since I was 16 yrs. old (1963) Love this man with all my heart !  Saw him live many times, I hope you did too.

    K.... ....

    Man I'm 30 yrs old but die hard Jones fan feel like I was born past my time

  70. M.... D....

    They don't make them like him anymore. This is a dam good song. Irish singer, Brendan Shine, sang an excellent version of this one.

    M.... D....

    +Michael Dineen, where have you been?

    M.... D....

    Thanks for asking. I have been keeping busy but still involved in music' collecting and listening to it. I remember your great knowledge of all types of music' especially from Irish entertainers.

    M.... D....

    Brendan Shine??Are you serious???? I don't think you get george Jones.

    M.... D....

    +Rabies
    Brendan Shine' sang it very well.

    M.... D....

    George has that Texan acent and his voice really feels the words.

  71. m.... ....

    Oh how great heaven must be!

  72. J.... K....

    i miss you george and your great voice,r.i.p.

    J.... K....

    I loved George Jones & Tammy very much. No one has mentioned Daryle Singletary. He sang country beautifully. I was just sick when I found out he had died at 46 leaving a wife and 4 beautiful children
    Many people have rallied around them. I only hope that friends won't forget his family. He was country all the way
    God bless him and his wife and children
    I still see him on you tube. He died in April of 2018 and had shared with someone he was having financial difficulties. I live on social security & it is hard. Imagine how hard it will be to raise 4 children alone. Please help them.

  73. D.... R....

    His voice brings tears to my eyes

    D.... R....

    once I George

    D.... R....

    Simply doesnt get better than this...emotional!

  74. M.... w....

    I know it's her :/

  75. G.... ....

    GEORGE, I LOVE YOU MAN . HAVE SINCE 1963 !!!  NO ONE CAN BREAK A HEART LIKE GEORGE. GEORGE YOU SING LIKE YOU KNOW ME AND ALL MY PAIN

    G.... ....

    @67plymouth440 ,I am with you and that 440!

  76. Z.... T....

    Today's country music is CRAP !   This is what good music is.... 

    Z.... T....

    I hear that!!

    Z.... T....

    exactly this....

  77. j.... m....

    George will always be with us in country music

    j.... m....

    john mcquire d

    j.... m....

    I wish that was true John, but when was the last time you heard George Jones on your local country station?

  78. p.... ....

    Anyone who has there name on the guitar strap is a man to be dealed with.

  79. t.... s....

    You should find the video of Keith Richards doing this song; spectacular. I've lost it somehow. Cheers.

  80. a.... ....

    I'm sitting here listening to this song that I've heard a hundred times before, and yet I'm still mesmerized by this man's voice. Just listen to the way he bends his voice in and out of every lyric, stare into his eyes as he "lives" every word he sings. George doesn't just sing a song, he lives the song. He steps into the lyrics the way an actor steps into a movie role. Songs like this and "The Grand Tour"...I honestly don't understand how anyone can say they don't like George Jones.

    a.... ....

    actionace1982 truth!

  81. K.... ....

    Every once in a while their comes a singer with so much rhythm in their voice that it becomes the most important instrument in the song, There is only Lefty and Vern, and obviously the even more popular George Jones who's voice alone can make a song. Carrying a note out so smoothly and perfectly that it touches you pretty deep. Nothing less then outstanding. The greatest of a very long era, he will be missed.

    K.... ....

    Love you George

  82. L.... ....

    I keep coming back to this masterpiece time after time. One of a kind son!

  83. g.... ....

    I know that when I leave this earth and get to heaven, the first thing I'm going to do is grab my Dad, two guitars and we're going Possum hunting.

  84. L.... ....

    Unbelievable live version ! If you ever had a real heartache with real pain , then this song has to touch u in some kinda way. Only this legend can wrench out such emotion from every word in this song. God u just called home the best ! Miss ya George R I P

  85. P.... S....

    I'd never noticed before how much George Jones looks like Jim Carrey! I love them both.

  86. M.... E....

    His duet with Keith on this song is awesome. It says in the liner notes of The Bradley Barn Sessions that Keith said he felt like he was "in the company of Angles" when he recorded this tune with George. Had MAJOR respect for the man and Keith Richards doesn't say that about just anybody. R.I.P. Possum, you were something in your day and sorely missed already.

  87. I.... W....

    Rest in Peace Possum - the world misses a good one in you. Thanks Yankee for the uploading

  88. D.... S....

    He's great. I never knew Jim Carrey could sing, too.

    D.... S....

    esp where Jim Carrey has a crew cut.

  89. M.... B....

    George Jones will forever be among the best singers of Country Music and he may be the last of the real Country Singers we'll never see the likes again. His music will forever live on and this song was first done by Bob Luman.

  90. S.... ....

    He was absolutely the very best singer in the world, no matter what genre. I'm a rock and roller who just stumbled (or, shall I say staggered?) through a country music phase some 30 odd years ago (Honestly, I'm a Stones guy through and through). I rarely listen to country music, so I'm probably the most unlikely fan on earth. The way George Jones sings a song just knocks me out. I know he will be sorely missed by many people - even by rock and rollers like me. God bless you, George Jones.

  91. N.... ....

    I agree... I love there duet... I drank a lot of beer listening to that cd. Lots of good duets on it.

  92. K.... D....

    george was and will always be what country is all about all this new shit needs to be threw out the window if u want to be country be country take that pop shit country and stick it up ur ass thiers just no respect for the people that poured there hearts out for country music thank u george and all the real country singers for some of the best country music

  93. s.... m....

    Jack will miss this mans music! Amazing!! fook no one will ever replace him...

  94. M.... ....

    WOW! So glad to find this one. It's also Keith Richard's favorite and the duet with George & Keith is great.
    Thanks for posting this.

  95. i.... ....

    The GREAT George Jones will be a "no show" from now on. Our loss!!!

  96. k.... m....

    this guy was a genius now he has gone to meet one of his biggest fans MY DAD

  97. B.... ....

    If only everyone had his voice, hey George say hi to Vern when you see him. Those two was the best in country music. I think Allen Jackson is the only one to carry on great country music now.

  98. E.... G....

    Rest In Peace George Jones, Country music has lost a Legend. You will be greatly missed ( The Possum is Awesome ) ox

  99. p.... ....

    Like everyone else in this world George and Tammy loved and fell out of love. They were both human, and though I'm sure George's drinking didn't help anything. They aren't resistant against hurt and the way love goes sometimes! George lived and learned and was the greatest country music singer to live, and Tammy the greatest female singer. May the both RIP!

  100. S.... D....

    Rip you will be missed forever
