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
