I have the key to heaven when we married
And for a while I brought you happiness
But now your love for me is bad and buried
And every night you share another's kiss
And I'd rather be the one you slip around with
Than be the one who's dream of love is gone
Yes I'd rather be the one you spend your time with
Than be the one at home all alone
[ instrumental ]
Deep down inside I know that I should leave you
How many tears must fall before I learn
I think of many ways that I could grieve you
And yet I'm always here when you return
But I'd rather be the one you slip around with...

We quarreled and in tears I walked away
With just one word you could have made me say
And though each night I'm seeing with someone new
Deep in my heart I'm still in love with you
So make an honest woman out of me
I'm proud of actin' happy to be free
Just take me in your arms where I should be
And make an honest woman out of me
[ instrumental ]
The smile I wear is only make believe
Just like the heart I'm wearin' on my sleeve
But when I'm home alone oh how I cry
For I was never born to live a lie
So make an honest woman out of me...

I wish I could fall in love again
And feel the way I always used to do
I wish I could fall in love again
Then maybe I'd fall out of love with you
I know it's all over between us
And you're happy with someone new
And I wish I could fall in love again
Then maybe I'd fall out of love with you
I know it's all over between us...

I've got my pride I've got my pride
When the nights are cold there's no one to hold
I've got my pride
I should have said forgive me dear but I've got my pride
I wanted you to hold and kiss me dear but I've got my pride
So I let you walk right out the door and I kept my tears inside
Now she's got you and love's so true while I've got my pride
I've got my pride I've got my pride...
[ instrumental ]
You tried to make me listen but I turned away
Has my heart overflowed with words I wanted to say
My pride told me that I was right but how it lied
She's got your ring and everything while I've got my pride
I've got my pride I've got my pride...

Why why why can't you understand
That golden wedding band you wear on your left hand
Means that you're mine
Why why why can't I make you see
Though you still think you're free your heart belongs to me
Till the end of time
I love you more than words can ever say
My heart would break if you should go away
No one could love you like I do
And I die a little more each time that you're untrue
Why why why can't you understand...
[ instrumental ]
Why can't you be true the way you were
Why do you keep running back to her
I pray each minute I'm alone
That you'll forget her soon and find your way back home
Why why why can't you understand...

I remember when I made you cry
Ages and ages ago
I'll never blame you for our last goodbye
Ages and ages ago
Someone came along and took my place
How wrong I was to let you go
And though it happened only yesterday
It seems ages and ages ago
[ instrumental ]
Something told me when you walked away
That time would make me miss you so
And though it happened only yesterday
It seems ages and ages ago

You're too many teardrops too late
Too many teardrops too late
If you hadn't been untrue I'd still be a loving you
But you're too many teardrops too late
Got your letter yesterday
Read every word you had to say
But I've heard them all before they don't fool me anymore
And you're too many teardrops too late
You're too many teardrops too late...
[ instrumental ]
My heart don't know what to do
I still have this feeling for you
If I took you back again you'd hurt me in the end
And you're too many teardrops too late
You're too many teardrops too late...
