Rogers, Kenny - Laura (What's He Got That I Ain't Got) Lyrics

Wow
A Kenny Rogers song I've never heard
Beautiful powerful sad sad sad

Adultery is always wrong

For the Laura who never gave me a chance...

Nothing ! Nothing?

"Laura (What's He Got That I Ain't Got)"

Laura, hold these hands and count my fingers
Laura, touch these lips you once desired
Lay your head upon my chest and hear my heartbeat
Gently run your fingers through my hair

Touch these ears that listened to your wishes
Most of them, fulfilled and that's a lot
Let your soft gentle hands caress my body
And then tell me what he's got that I ain't got

Tell me what he's got that I can't give you
Must be something I was born without
You took an awful chance to be with another man
So tell me what he's got that I ain't got

Laura, see these walls that I built for you
Laura, see this carpet that I laid
See those fancy curtains on the windows
Touch those satin pillows on your bed

Laura, count the dresses in your closet
Note the name upon the checkbook in your bag
And if there's time before I pull this trigger
Then tell me what he's got that I ain't got

Tell me what he's got that I can't give you
Must be something I was born without
You took an awful chance to be with another man
So tell me what he's got that I ain't got
Tell me what he's got that I ain't got
Laura, what's he got that I ain't got?

Love this song... and I’m called laura! X

Well done something to keep in mind married folks. Definitely not a PC song.

Well done Kenny.

I SWEAR this song was written about my great-aunt. lmao

I'll never forget these sounds. Memories

It was also covered by the Newbeats (best known for their '64 hit Bread & Butter)

This is one I'm going to miss from the public eye.Kenny Thanks for all the wonderful memories.I've been with your music since the early sixties.Brilliant artist
