Lyrics George Jones

George Jones

Leaving Love All Over the Place

The man who ran the motel

Said we couldn't spend the night there anymore

That it'd take a week to clean the room twenty-three

And put new carpet on the floor.

That we harmed his reputation

And what about the shame and disgrace

But we just never learned to love

Without leaving love all over the place.

The lady asked the rooming house

Served our eviction notice yesterday

While we were pickin' up our cloths

She started screaming somebody's gonna pay.

She said it takes a dozen carpenters

To fix the broken bed and drapes

But we just never learned to love

With out leavin' love all over ther place.

Loving always came to us easy

I know it always will

We don' need nobody to roll us down the other side

When we're over the hill.

The mourners formed a single line

As they filled by to pay their last respect

And they couldn't help but wonder how

Two lovers could break each others neck.

And they wondered why the undertakers

Couldn't take the smiles from off their face

Then a preacher said Dearly beloved

Why that sweet couple they just never learned to love

Without leavin' love all over the place.

No, we never learned to love

Without leavin' love all over the place...
