Playing Possum - George Jones

Well, you didn’t think I knew that you’d been cheatin' on me

You thought that I was stayin' home while you went on a spree

But I’ve been staying outta sight and I see the things you do

I’ve been playin' possum, I’ve been a-watchin' you

Playin' possum, (playin' possum,) a-watchin' you

Seein' you do all those thing that I know you shouldn’t do

But I’ll keep hanging on because my love for you is true

I’ll keep playing possum and keep on loving you

Last night I climbed up in a tree a-just outside his house

And I saw him a-chasing you, a-playing cat and mouse

Then I crawled up and went on home I didn’t know what to do

I’ve been a-playing possum, yes I’ve been a-watching you

Playin' possum, (playin' possum,) watchin' you

Seein' you do all those thing that I know you shouldn’t do

But I’ll keep hanging on because my love for you is true

I’ll keep playing possum and keep on loving you

--- Instrumental ---

I’m a-playin' possum, (playin' possum,) a-watchin' you

Seein' you do all those thing that I know you shouldn’t do

But I’ll keep hanging on because my love for you is true

And I’ll keep playing possum and keep on loving you

Yeah, I’ll keep playing possum and keep on loving you…
