Laura Lyrics by Red Sovine

Tell Maude I Slipped

0

[Verse 1]
Laura, hold these hands and count my fingers
Laura, touch these lips you once desired
Lay your head upon my chest, hear my heartbeat
Gently run your fingers through my hair

[Verse 2]
Touch these ears that listened to your wishes
Most of them fulfilled, and that's a lot
Let your soft gentle hands caress my body
Then tell me what he's got that I ain't got

[Chorus]
Tell me what he's got that I can't give you
Must be something I was born without
You took an awful chance to be with another man
So tell me what he's got that I ain't got

[Verse 3]
Laura, see these walls that I built for you
Laura, see this carpet that I laid
See those fancy curtains on the windows
Touch those satin pillows on your bed

[Verse 4]
Laura, count the dresses in your closet
Note the name upon the checkbook in your bag
And if there's time before I pull this trigger
Then tell me what he's got that I ain't got

[Chorus]
Tell me what he's got that I can't give you
Must be something I was born without
And if there's time before I pull this trigger
Then tell me what he's got that I ain't got
Laura, tell me what he's got that I ain't got
Then tell me what he's got that I ain't got
