Maybe I know that he’s been a-cheatin,
Maybe I know that he’s been untrue.
But what can I do?
I hear them whispering when I walk by,
“He’s gonna break her heart, and make her cry.â€ÂÂ
I know it’s me they’re talking about,
I bet they all think I’ll never find out.
But maybe I know that he’s been a-cheatin,
Maybe I know that he’s been untrue.
But what can I do?
My friends are telling me that he’s no good,
He isn’t treating me the way he should.
“He really loves me,†that’s all I can say,
Before my tears fall, I just walk away.
Oh, but maybe I know that he’s been a-cheatin,
Maybe I know that he’s been untrue.
But what can I do?
Whoa…
Deep down inside he loves me,
Though he may run around.
Deep down inside he loves me,
Someday he’ll settle down.
Oh, maybe I know that he’s been a-cheatin,
Maybe I know that he’s been untrue.
But what can I do?
“He really loves me,†that’s all I can say,
Before my tears fall, I just walk away.
Oh, maybe I know that he’s been a-cheatin,
Maybe I know that I want, I want, I wanted to
You came to grind me into stone
Polishing the angled flesh and bone
The smallest cut to drain my soul
Precious words of comfort swallowed whole
Oh no she said
I tried for love
And I died for love
But I'd kill for you
I want, I want, I wanted to
You tore the makeup from my face
With every acid word you ever knew
Now every line and crack exposed
Exploited fully till each scar shone through
Oh no she said
I tried for love
And I died for love
But I'd kill for you
I never said I'd promise anything
That's alright, I know you wanted to
I never meant to promise anything
That's alright, I know you wanted to
I never ever promised anything
That's alright, I know you wanted to be with me
You came to grind me into stone
Polishing the angled flesh and bone
The smallest cut to drain my soul
Precious words of comfort swallowed whole
Strip me from the top down
Rip me from the raw
Into this higher place
Don't want to die
