I NEVER HAD THE ONE THAT I WANTED Recorded by: Ernest Tubb Writers: Jimmie Louis, Claude Gray & Sheb Wooley [D] I never had the one that I [G] wanted Never [A] wanted the one that I [D] had For the one that I had was a [G] good girl And the [A] one that I wanted was [D] bad. [D] They say that the [G] grass always looks [D] greener And I guess that's the nature of a [A] man To let [D] pashion have its' way Never [G] thinkin' what he'll pay And it's [A] hard oh, aint it hard to under-[D] stand. CHORUS What makes a man want to flirt with danger Like a child that's playin' with a fire Must the most lucious peach, be always out of reach And the things you can't have, you desire. I never had the one that I wanted Never wanted the one that I had If I ever get back to the good girl I will never go back to the bad. SOURCE: ERNEST TUBB/ANOTHER STORY Decca Records DL-4867
