Image Of Me

Well, I know she's the life of the party And without her, he thinks he would die But don't be fooled by her laughter She's had sad times--she knows how to cry Well, she drinks and she talks Just a little too loud And with her pride gone, she tags along With any old crowd Well, I know I'm to blame And I feel so ashamed That I've made her The image of me I met her in a little country town She was simple and old fashioned in some ways But I loved her 'til I dragged her down Then she just gave up and drifted away Well, she drinks and she talks Just a little too loud And with her pride gone she tags along With any old crowd Well, I know I'm to blame And I feel so ashamed That I've made her The image of me Well, I know I'm to blame And I feel so ashamed That I've made her The image of me
