WILLING TO FORGIVE - ARETHA FRANKLIN

I READ HER LETTERS
AND I SAW HER PICTURE
AND I SMELLED HER
CHEAP PERFUME
HMM MUST HAVE
COME FROM YOU
HOW COULD HE TOUCH HER
LAY DOWN BESIDE HER
WELL THERE JUST
AIN'T NO EXCUSE
YOU SHOULDN'T
HAVE BEEN SO LOOSE
I SAW A TELEPHONE BILL
YOU MUST BE
OUT OF YOUR MIND
IF YOU THINK YOU CAN
SMOOTH IT OVER
THEN YOU'RE
WASTING YOUR TIME
WELL I'M WILLING
TO FORGIVE YOU
BUT I CAN'T FORGET
'CAUSE YOU REALLY
REALLY REALLY REALLY
HURT ME THIS TIME
AND I GUESS I CAN GO ON
ALTHOUGH I MUST ADMIT
I'VE BEEN BUSY BUSY
BUSY BUSY
THINKIN' ABOUT GOING TO
MESS AROUND SOME TIME
YOU'RE SUCH A LIAR
YOU TOOK HER
AND HER CHILDREN
OUT FOR THE AFTERNOON
WHILE I WAS SITTIN'
WAITIN' ON YOU
HOW COULD YOU DO IT
YOU SHOULD'VE BEEN
HERE WITH ME
YOU JUST COULDN'T DO IT
YOU HAD TO BE
IN THE STREETS
WELL I HEARD IT THROUGH
THE GRAPEVINE YOU'VE
BEEN MESSIN' AROUND
WHEN YOU THOUGHT
YOU WERE GETTIN' OVER
THAT'S WHEN OUR
BABY GIRL FOUND OUT
WELL I'M WILLING TO FORGIVE
YOU BUT I CAN'T FORGET
'CAUSE YOU REALLY
REALLY REALLY REALLY
HURT ME THIS TIME
AND I GUESS I CAN GO ON
ALTHOUGH I MUST ADMIT
I'VE BEEN BUSY BUSY
BUSY BUSY
THINKIN' ABOUT GOING TO
MESS AROUND SOME TIME
I GAVE MY HEART
GAVE MY TIME
GAVE MY SOUL
'CAUSE LOVE IS BLIND
I CAN'T EXPLAIN
THIS POOR EXCUSE
OF A MAN OF A BOY
WHO WAS BORN TO LOSE
I PAID THE RENT
WASHED YOUR CLOTHES
COOKED YOUR FOOD
AND ONLY GOD KNOWS
ONLY GOD KNOWS
WHY I STAY WITH YOU
I GUESS I'M I'M IN LOVE
WELL I'M WILLING TO FORGIVE
YOU BUT I CAN'T FORGET
'CAUSE YOU REALLY
REALLY REALLY REALLY
HURT ME THIS TIME
AND I GUESS I CAN GO ON
ALTHOUGH I MUST ADMIT
I'VE BEEN BUSY BUSY
BUSY BUSY THINKIN' ABOUT
GOING TO MESS
AROUND SOME TIME
I GAVE MY HEART
GAVE MY TIME
GAVE MY SOUL
'CAUSE LOVE IS BLIND
I CAN'T EXPLAIN
THIS POOR EXCUSE
OF A MAN OF A BOY
WHO WAS BORN TO LOSE
I PAID THE RENT
I WASHED YOUR CLOTHES
COOKED YOUR FOOD
AND ONLY GOD KNOWS
ONLY GOD KNOWS
WHY I STAY WITH YOU
I GUESS I'M I'M IN LOVE
WELL I'M WILLING TO FORGIVE
YOU BUT I CAN'T FORGET
'CAUSE YOU REALLY
REALLY REALLY REALLY
HURT ME THIS TIME
AND I GUESS I CAN GO ON
ALTHOUGH I MUST ADMIT
I'VE BEEN BUSY BUSY
BUSY BUSY
THINKIN' ABOUT GOING TO
MESS AROUND SOME TIME
