If You Don't Want Me Lyrics - Patty Loveless

Never really felt like I belonged 

Just about that time you came along 

Led me to expect, your love and your respect 

But lately you don't let those feelings show 

I don't really want somebody else 

But I won't be your prize upon a shelf 

Rather feel this emptiness 

Than be something you possess 

If you don't want me, let me go 

Can't we both admit 

We made the most of it and we were wrong 

Don't you realize 

The best years of our lives will soon be gone 

If you hold on 

I know, there must be more to life than this 

Neglected vows wrapped in a token kiss 

Lonely and ignored, I can't take it anymore
