WHAT'S LEFT OF ME WRITER HARLAN HOWARD RECORDED BY WAYLON JENNINGS I've been cheated, mistreated, broken man, defeated No one wanted or needed any part of me I've been bothered and shattered till my heart's torn and tattered Baby, are you sure you want what's left of me? I've been busted, disgusted, hurt by those I trusted There's a big old hurt inside where my heart should be I've been lied on and cried on, cheated on and spited on Even dogs think that I'm a tree Baby, are you sure you want what's left of me? I've been rocked on and socked on, this heart of mine's been tread on I been cryin' so long my eyes can hardly see I've been bad lucked, half crocked till my mind is shell shocked Baby, are you sure you want what's left of me? I've been busted, disgusted, hurt by those I trusted There's a big old hurt inside where my heart should be I've been lied on and cried on, cheated on and spited on Even dogs think that I'm a tree Baby, are you sure you want what's left of me?...
