I read her letters
   And I saw her picture
   And I smelled her cheap perfume, hmm
   It must have come from you
  
   How could you touch her
   Lay down beside her
   Well, there just ain’t no excuse
   You shouldn’t have been so loose
  
   I saw the 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’ that I’m gonna 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, uh
  
   Well, I heard through the grapevine
   You’ve been messin’ around
   When you thought you were gettin’ over
   That’s when my baby I found, oh...
   Well, I’m willing to forgive you but I can’t forget
   ‘Cause you really, really, really, really hurt me this time (You really hurt me)
   And I guess I can go on although I must admit
   I’ve been busy, busy, busy, busy thinkin’ that I’m gonna mess around some time
  
   I gave my heart, gave my time
   Gave my soul ‘cause love was 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 I only God knows
   Only God knows why I stay with you
   I guess (Guess I) I’m in love
  
   Well, I’m willing to forgive you but I can’t forget
   (Oh, baby, I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love)
   ‘Cause you really, really, really, really hurt me this time
   (Ooh, you really hurt me this time, baby)
   And I guess I can go on although I must admit (Although I must admit)
   I’ve been busy, busy, busy, busy thinkin’ that I’m gonna mess around some time
   (I’m gonna mess around some time)
  
   I gave my heart, gave my time
   Gave my soul ‘cause love was blind

   I’m willing to forgive you but I can’t forget
   (I’m willin’, I’m willin’ and able)
   ‘Cause you really, really, really, really hurt me this time
