| I could shame you 'til you hide your face
|
| And drag you right down in disgrace
|
| But what good would it do
|
| I know I’d still want you.
|
| I could tell the world you’re doin’wrong
|
| That I was stringin’you along
|
| And if it all were true
|
| I know I’d still want you.
|
| The world with me might sympathize
|
| When I got thru with all my lies
|
| But I’d be just as blue
|
| 'Cause my heart would still want you-ooo-oo
|
| Cry, oh, lord.
|
| I could tell my friends I threw you down
|
| And slander your name all over town
|
| But what good would it do
|
| I know I’d still want you.
|
| If I said I’m happy to be free
|
| The only one I’d fool is me Because it isn’t true
|
| I know I’d still want you.
|
| What’s the use to say that you’re no good
|
| When I’d crawl back if I could
|
| No matter what you do I know I’d still want you-ooo-oo
|
| Cry, oh, lord.
|
| I could smIle and say that I don’t care
|
| And then go home and pull my hair
|
| But what good would it do
|
| I know I’d still want you.
|
| I could say that someone put me wise
|
| And get revenge by telling lies
|
| But when I got all thru
|
| I know I’d still want you.
|
| If the things I said was to break your heart
|
| I’d be the first to take your part
|
| 'Cause if all these lies were true
|
| I know I’d still want you-oooo-oo
|
| Cry, oh, lord. |
