George Jones You Couldn't Get The Picture Lyrics

I walked In the front door,
Turned the light on in the hall.
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 Little 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."
But 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 ya 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 Her pillow said,
"The lonely nights were hell"
The one 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 ya do anything at all.
But 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.
