I'd Still Want You - Original - Hank Williams

I could shame you 'til you hide your face

And drag you right down in disgrace

But what good would it do

I know I’d still want you.

I could tell the world you’re doin’wrong

That I was stringin’you along

And if it all were true

I know I’d still want you.

The world with me might sympathize

When I got thru with all my lies

But I’d be just as blue

'Cause my heart would still want you-ooo-oo

Cry, oh, lord.

I could tell my friends I threw you down

And slander your name all over town

But what good would it do

I know I’d still want you.

If I said I’m happy to be free

The only one I’d fool is me Because it isn’t true

I know I’d still want you.

What’s the use to say that you’re no good

When I’d crawl back if I could

No matter what you do I know I’d still want you-ooo-oo

Cry, oh, lord.

I could smIle and say that I don’t care

And then go home and pull my hair

But what good would it do

I know I’d still want you.

I could say that someone put me wise

And get revenge by telling lies

But when I got all thru

I know I’d still want you.

If the things I said was to break your heart

I’d be the first to take your part

'Cause if all these lies were true

I know I’d still want you-oooo-oo

Cry, oh, lord.
