I know it really is a pity
|
The way you treat me now
|
I know you can't forgive me
|
But forgive me anyhow
|
The ending got so ugly
|
I even heard you say
|
You never ever loved me
|
But could you love me anyway
|
|
I dreamed about you baby
|
You were wearing half your dress
|
I know you have to hate me
|
But could you hate me less?
|
I used up all my chances
|
And you'll never take me back
|
But there ain't no harm in asking
|
Could you cut me one more slack?
|
|
I'm naked and I'm filthy
|
And there's sweat upon my brow
|
And both of us are guilty
|
Anyhow
|
Have mercy on me baby
|
After all I did confess
|
Even though you have to hate me
|
Could you hate me less?
|
|
It's a shame and it's a pity
|
I know you can't forgive me
|
The ending got so ugly
|
You never ever loved me
|
Dreamed about you baby
|
I know you have to hate me
|
I'm naked and I'm filthy
|
And both of us are guilty
|
Anyhow
|
Have mercy on me baby
|
