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 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 night time 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 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 Thru the morning thru the night Yes, it hurts me little darling Thru the morning thru the night
