Overnight Success

Written by Sanger D Shafer

If it was in your mind to really cut me down
If it was in your plan to walk me in the ground
You left with him last night then daylight told the rest
And if you planned on hurtin' me, you're an overnight success

I couldn't blame someone who'd steal your love away
Because I know what I've lost and all he's gained
Sweetheart last night I know he got the very best
And if you planned on hurtin' me, you're an overnight success

Can you handle all you've won from breaking my pride
Will he stay with you and help you spend all the tears I've cried
Sweetheart I love you so and wish you happiness
And if you planned on hurtin' me, you're an overnight success
