Believe me
when I tell you
I will try to understand
Believe me
when I tell you
I could never
kill a man
But to know
that another man's
holding you tight
Hurts me little darling
through the morning
through the night
The bond has
been broken
The promise
you gave
The words that
were spoken
I cannot be
your slave
But to know
that the trust
you had in me
is gone
Hurts me little darling
through the night time
through the dawn
I dreamed just last night
you were there by
my side
Your sweet loving
tenderness
easing my pride
But then
I awoke dear
and found you not there
it was just my old memory
of how much I care
Believe me
when I tell you
I will try to understand
Believe me
when I tell you
I could never
kill a man
But to know
that another man's
holding you tight
Hurts me little darling
through the morning
through the night
