I read her letters
And I saw her picture
And I smelled her
cheap perfume
Mm
Must have come from you
How could you touch her
Lay down beside her
Well there just ain't no excuse
You shouldn't have been
so loose
I saw the telephone bill
you must be out of your mind
If you find you can
smooth it over
then you're wastin' your time
Well I'm willin' to forgive you
but I can't forget
'Cause you really really really
really hurt me this time
And I guess I can go on
although I must admit
I've been busy busy busy busy
thinkin' that I'm gonna mess
around sometime
You're such a liar
You took her and her children
out for the afternoon
While I was sittin' waitin' on you
How could you do it
You should have been here
with me
You just couldn't do it
You had to be in the streets
Well I heard it
through the grapevine
You been messin' around
When you thought you were
gettin' over
That's when this baby girl
found out
Well I'm willin' to forgive you
but I can't forget
'Cause you really really really
really hurt me this time
And I guess I can go on
although I must admit
I've been busy busy busy busy
thinkin' that I'm gonna mess
around sometime
I gave my heart
Gave my child
Gave my soul
'Cause love is blind
I can't explain this poor excuse
of a man of a boy
who was born to lose
I paid the rent
Washed your clothes
Cooked your food and
only God knows
Only God knows why I stay
with you
I guess I'm
I'm in love
Well I'm willin' to forgive you
but I can't forget
'Cause you really really really
really hurt me this time
And I guess I can go on
although I must admit
I've been busy busy busy busy
thinkin' that I'm gonna mess
around sometime
I gave my heart
Gave my child
Gave my soul
'Cause love is blind
I can't explain this poor excuse
of a man of a boy
who was born to lose
I paid the rent
I washed your clothes
Cooked your food
and only God knows
Only God knows why
I stay with you
I guess I'm
I'm in love
Well I'm willin' to forgive you
but I can't forget
'Cause you really really really
really hurt me this time
And I guess I can go on
although I must admit
I've been busy busy busy busy
thinkin' that I'm gonna mess
around sometime
