Billy Joe Shaver - You Ought To Be With Me When I'm Alone lyrics

You ought to be with me when I’m alone
The only thing shakin' is me when she’s gone
I’ve been the one in the middle of lonely too long
You ought to be with me when I’m alone
My friends say she’s crazy and draggin' me down
But they oughta see me when she ain’t around
I’m ringin' my hands by an un-ringin' phone
And turnin' the light off while she’s turnin' on You ought to be with me when I’m alone
The only thing shakin' is me when she’s gone
I’ve been the one in the middle of lonely too long
You ought to be with me when I’m alone
She won’t come to my place, I must go to hers
And be dazzled by diamonds and waved thru her furs
She got two well-bred dogs, but to me they’re just curs
But I’m right down there with 'em 'cause I’m one of hers
