Skaggs, Ricky - If That's The Way You Feel Lyrics






I don't blame you for I know you want him,
That your love for me was never real.
I could hold you but you'd be unhappy,
But it's all right if that's the way you feel.
I know that I will always go on caring,
And my feelings, now, I must conceal.
I still need you and I want you with me,
But it's all right if that's the way you feel.

I always knew someday I would lose you,
When those lies about me were revealed.
It's plain to see, sweetheart, you believe them,
But it's all right if that's the way you feel.

I know that I will always go on caring,
And my feelings, now, I must conceal.
I still need you and I want you with me,
But it's all right if that's the way you feel.

But it's all right if that's the way you feel.

Skaggs, Ricky If That's The Way You Feel Comments
  1. A.... W....

    Another Beautiful song from the great Ricky Skaggs, thank you very much for sharing this with us, I LOVE IT !!!

  2. a.... o....

    I've always respected Ricks voice and instrumentality. Even felt the angst he felt when that pilled up OTR truck fired at his son and almost killed him which was a game changer for Rick. As they say he
    got the Lord. But I also believe religion and entertaining are different things. Dont preach gospel to
    your audience. Someone must've told Rick this. I leave religion at church. Nuff said. I'm a Christian
    too. But I never preach to people.

  3. N.... R....

    I love you still remember that you were here originally

  4. S.... B....

    Wow love this song very much

  5. j.... ....

    I love this guy. Always have.

  6. a.... o....

    How bout a little praise for the greatest backup singer in Bg? Paul Ray Brewster!!!! A great singer in his own rite.
    Also Jeff White.

  7. M.... B....

    OH OH !I FILL LOVE LOVE!!.YES YES.

  8. P.... H....

    I don't blame you for I know you want him,
    That your love for me was never real.

    I know that I will always go on caring,
    And my feelings, now, I must conceal.
    I still need you and I want you with me,
    But it's all right if that's the way you feel.

    Anyone remember when a pilled up OTR truck driver fired a shot into auto Rick's son was riding in?
    Fortunately Rick's son recovered. No matter who you are fate has a way of changing your life. I think
    it changed Rick's life and he embraced Christianity. Rick now has his own recording facility. Long ways
    from Blaine, Ky and Warren County!!! 12 miles from Sandy Hook. Home of Keith Whitley. Whatta loss.

  10. a.... o....

    Rick covering an olde Stanley Bros song. And well BTW

  11. L.... D....

    I LOVE LOVE ALL COUNTRY MUSIC PLAY IT ALL DAY EVERY DAY

  12. a.... o....

    Back in the mid 70's the guy who was my banjo picking bandmate got an invite for us to sit in with the Country
    Gazzette while they were appearing in the Dallas Tx area. Banjo player Alan Munde, Mando player Roland White
    Guitar player Joe Carr in the home of Fiddle player Doc Hamilton.Rick later replaced Roland in the group.Banjo
    guy Paul Karback walked away from Bg.Whatta loss to the genre.I replaced Roger Bush the bass player

  13. M.... M....

    Listen up jason aldick and puke bryan this is COUNTRY

  14. J.... C....

    Ricky knows how to sing country

  15. H.... M....

    Oh ! do you mean George Jones the wife beater

  16. G.... M....

    If this is bluegrass then I love bluegrass.

  17. J.... I....

    My favorite song. Julius Ingti Panjan Karbi Anglong District Assam NE India

  18. N.... C....

    Deadly music and musician

  19. m.... ....

    Chet Atkins has previously said that "Ricky Skaggs saved country music". well, folks you be the judge. Amazing talent. Only Vince Gill can touch him as singer and musician. Remember that many country artists today only sing. mos60

    m.... ....

    I agree, Vince has got his own way, bloody amazing.

    m.... ....

    I agree,, but let's not forget George Jones!

    m.... ....

    IMO Chet was referring to Ricky as not only a great singer but multi-instrument player. Mandolin, guitar, fiddle. Plus he sang country, gospel and bluegrass. Not many stars can do all this. mos60

  20. U.... 7....

    How many of us can relate to the lyrics of this one? great song sung by a great artist.

  27. m.... ....

    Ricky , just too many great super country songs. What an entertainer he is. Whether country or bluegrass, he never lets anyone down with his songs,. mosrite60

    m.... ....

    so true

  28. B.... A....

    Great tune, and one which made me a country fan in the mid 1980s, especially of the neo-traditionalists like Mr. Skaggs and the Whites, Randy Travis, and George Strait.

    Lost my cassette of this one during a trans-Atlantic move ten years ago.

    Thanks for the post.

    Used to sing harmony on this one with the girl I should have married.

    [She ended up [likely much more happily] married to a preacher in Oklahoma, but I still think of her fondly.

  29. c.... b....

    nice song

  30. M.... T....

    I love this song. I ve heard it the first time in 1983-84.It reminds me of my youth when I ve listened this sung under the lighthouse built on a reef at the night with my two brothers.
    So I m happy to hear this song. Beautiful Ricky's voice.
    I hope one day I'll see my two brothers and together we 'll sing again country song.
    Thanks very much for this song.

    M.... T....
