Paragraph Lyric
Believe me when I tell you I will try to understand
Believe 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, through the morning, through the night

The bond has been broken, the promise you gave
The words that were spoken, I cannot be your slave
But to know that the trust you had in me is gone
Hurts me, little darling, through the night time, through the dawn

I dreamed just last night you were there by my side
Your sweet loving tenderness easing my pride
But then I awoke, dear, and found you not there
It was just my old memory of how much I care

Believe me when I tell you I will try to understand
Believe 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, through the morning, through the night
Believe me when I tell you I will try to understand   Believe 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, through the morning, through the night      The bond has been broken, the promise you gave   The words that were spoken, I cannot be your slave   But to know that the trust you had in me is gone   Hurts me, little darling, through the night time, through the dawn      I dreamed just last night you were there by my side   Your sweet loving tenderness easing my pride   But then I awoke, dear, and found you not there   It was just my old memory of how much I care      Believe me when I tell you I will try to understand   Believe 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, through the morning, through the night
