Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Believe me when I tell you
I will try to understand
Believe me when I tell you
I could never kill a man
[Verse 2]
But to know
That another man's holdin' you tight
Hurts me, little darlin'
Through the morning, through the night
[Verse 3]
The bond has been broken
The promise you gave
The words that were spoken
I cannot be your slave
[Verse 4]
But to know
That the trust you had in me is gone
Hurts me, little darlin'
Through the nighttime, through the dawn
[Verse 5]
I dreamed just last night
You were there by my side
Your sweet, loving tenderness
Easing my pride
[Verse 6]
But then I awoke, dear
And found you not there
It was just my old memory
Of how much I care
[Verse 7]
Believe me when I tell you
I will try to understand
Believe me when I tell you
I could never kill a man
[Verse 8]
But to know
That another man's holdin' you tight
Hurts me, little darlin'
Through the morning, through the night
