I tried so hard
My dear, to show
That you're my every dream
Yet you're afraid each thing I do
Is but some evil scheme
In anger unkind words are said
That make the teardrops start
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
And melt your cold, cold heart?
Today I passed you on the street
And my heart fell at your feet
I can't help it
If I'm still
In love with you
Another love was by your side
And he looked so satisfied
I can't help it
If I'm still
In love with you
The news is out
All over town
That you've been seen
Outrunning around
I know that I
Should go, but then
I just can't go
You win again
If today the sun should set on
All my hopes and cares
There is one smiling face
That God would see
Cause she'll walk along beside me
Up those golden stairs
Oh, they'll never, never take
Her love from me
Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel
That should be ringing out
For you and me
At home alone I hang my head in sorrow
Those wedding bells
Will never ring for me
So take these chains from my heart
And set me free
You've grown cold
And no longer care for me
All my faith in you is gone
But the heartaches linger on
Take these chains from my heart
And set me free
Your cheating heart
Will make you weep
You'll cry and cry
And try to sleep
But sleep won't come
The whole night through
Your cheating heart
Will tell on you
