You Couldn't Get The Picture - George Jones

I walked through the front door

Turned the light on in the hall

And then I saw the post-it notes

That she had stuck up on the wall

The first one said, «I love you, but I can’t live on love alone.»

The yellow post-it-notes were stuck up everywhere

One was on the microwave and one on the Fridgidaire

It said «I cried all night but you weren’t there to watch the teardrops fall.»

And if you couldn’t get the picture maybe you can read the writing on the wall

Sometimes you do what you’ve gotta do if you do anything at all

Sometimes it takes a freight train comin', sometimes it takes a mountian to fall

Sometimes you do what you’ve gotta do, sometimes you gotta walk before you crawl

And if you couldn’t get the picture maybe you can read the writing on the wall

The post-it note on the pillow said, «The lonely nights were hell.»

The on the mirror said, «Take a good look at yourself.»

And the one she put on the closet door said, «I waited long enough for you to

call.»

And if you couldn’t get the picture maybe you can read the writing on the wall

Sometimes you do what you’ve gotta do if you do anything at all

And if you couldn’t get the picture maybe you can read the writing on the wall

And if you couldn’t get the picture maybe you can read the writing on the wall.
