If you don't bend you'll have to break   It's good advise but a little too late   Nothin' but trouble everywhere I go, yeah   What I've been through you never know   Got me down on my bendin' knee   Weepin' and bendin' like a willow tree      I'm not lyin' it's not a fake   You can tell by the look on my face   Just so much a man can take   Sooner or later he's gotta break   Yes, I'm down on my bendin' knee   Weeping an' bendin' like a willow tree      Like a bitter pill that ya have to take   I'm beggin' you baby, you say it's too late   For goodness sakes please give me a break   Just a little more that I can take   Got me down on my bendin' knee   Weepin' and bendin' like a willow tree
