Believe me when I tell younI will try to understandnBelieve me when I tell younI could never kill a mannnBut to know that another man's holding you tightnHurts me, little darlingnThru the morning thru the nightnnThe bond has been brokennThe promise you gavenThe words that were spokennI can not be your slavennBut to know that the trust you had in me is gonenHurts me, little darlingnThrough the nighttime through the dawnnnI dreamed just last night you were there by my sidenYour sweet loving tendernessnEasing my pridennBut then I awoke and found you not therenIt was just my old memory of how much I carennBelieve me when I tell younI will try to understandnBelieve me when I tell younI could never kill a mannnBut to know that another man's holding you tightnHurts me little, darlingnThrough the morning through the night
