Believe me when I tell you
I will try to understand
Belive 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
Thru the morning thru the night


The bond has been broken
The promise you gave
The words that were spoken

I can not be your slave

But to know that the trust you had in me is gone

Hurts me, little darling
Thru the nightime thru the dawn


I dreamed just last night you were there by my side
Your sweet loving tenderness
Easing my pride


But then I awoke and found you not there
It was just my old memory of how much I care


Belive me when I tell you
I will try to understand

Belive 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
Thru the morning thru the night
