You Won't Have Her Long
Love's Illusion: A Warning in Marty Robbins' 'You Won't Have Her Long'
Lyrics
You didn't have to have your friends to tell me
You were informed by your friends about something.
That the love she once had for me is gone
The love she had for me in the past is no more.
They say she's yours and for a while she will be
Others claim that she is now with you, at least for a while.
You've got her now but you won't have her long
You currently have her, but it won't last long.
Don't talk too loud her love is immitation
Her love for you is not genuine; it's like an imitation.
Don't walk too proud for soon you'll walk alone
Don't be overly confident because soon you'll be alone.
You're happy now but soon they'll hear you saying
You may be happy now, but soon you'll express regret.
You've got her now but you won't have her long
You currently possess her, but it's temporary.
If you think you own the world you're only dreamin'
If you believe you control everything, it's just a fantasy.
And you'll wake up soon and find your dream is gone
You'll wake up from your illusion and realize it's over.
You'll find, to her, your heart is just a plaything
To her, your heart is merely a toy or a game.
You've got her now but you won't have her long
You have her now, but it won't be for an extended period.
Don't talk too loud her love is immitation
Reiteration that her love for you is not authentic.
Don't walk too proud for soon you'll walk alone
Be cautious; your confident walk may turn into solitude.
You're happy now but soon they'll hear you saying
Your current happiness will be short-lived, and regrets will follow.
You've got her now but you won't have her long
You may have her now, but it's a fleeting possession.
