Didnt Even Know Her Name

Written：James Griffin/David Gates
Shouldve kept on goin
But the hurt was showing
When she looked at me that way
I had to stay
I knew I had to get to know her name
The town was weary
She was to marry
Someone planned years ago
Her eyes said no
I knew I had to get to know her name
And when I got her all alone
She told me through the tears
That she didnt really loved him
But hed waited for so many years
She said she couldnt break his heart
Shed rather live with hers
And though I told her she should leave with me
She just could not believe with me
Shouldve kept on goin
Better that than knowin
That he made her his wife
He took her life
You know I didnt even know her name
You know I didnt even know her name
