Mel Tillis – Memory Maker Lyrics

Walkin’ all over this lonely city
Nothing in my heart but I could stand pity
‘Cause I’m still in love with a girl that didn’t do me right
But there ain’t no way for me to forget her
I ain’t never been cheated any better
And I’ll bet she’s cheatin’ someone else tonight
She’s a heart breaker, she’s a love taker, she’s a memory maker
And I’ll bet she’s a makin’ memories tonight
Well, her memory’s like a bug and it keeps on a crawlin’
Over my mind and the tears keep a fallin’
Thinkin’ about the thing that might have been
Well, this old heart of mine can’t take it
I still love her and I can’t shake it
I’ll bet she’s shakin’ someone else tonight
She’s a heart breaker, she’s a love taker, she’s a memory maker
And I’ll bet she’s makin’ memories tonight
She’s a heart breaker, she’s a love taker, she’s a memory maker…
And I’ll bet she’s a makin’ memories tonight
