You Couldn't Get The Picture Lyrics - George Jones

I walked through the front door 

Turned the light on in the hall 

And then I saw the post-it notes 

That she had stuck up on the wall. 

The first one said, "I love you, but I can't live on love alone." 

The yellow post-it-notes were stuck up everywhere 

One was on the microwave and one on the Fridgidaire 

It said "I cried all night but you weren't there to watch the teardrops fall." 

And if you couldn't get the picture 

Maybe you can read the writing on the wall. 

Sometimes you do what you've gotta do 

If ya do anything at all. 

Sometimes it takes a freight train comin' 

Sometimes it takes a mountian to fall 

Sometimes you do what you've gotta do 

Sometimes you gotta walk before you crawl 

And if you couldn't get the picture 

Maybe you can read the writing on the wall. 

The post-it note on the pillow said, 

"The lonely nights were hell" 

The one on the mirror said, 

"Take a good luck at yourself" 

And the one she put on the closet door 

Said, "I waited long enough for you to call." 

And if you couldn't get the picture 

Maybe you can read the writing on the wall. 

Sometimes you do what you've gotta do 

If ya do anything at all. 

Sometimes it takes a freight train comin' 

Sometimes it takes a mountain to fall 

Sometimes you do what you've gotta do 

Sometimes you gotta walk before you crawl 

And if you couldn't get the picture 

Maybe you can read the writing on the wall. 

And if you couldn't get the picture 

Maybe you can read the writing on the wall.
