View the lyrics
I read her letters and I saw her picture
And I smelt her cheap perfume
Hm. Must've come from you
How could you touch her
Lay down beside her
Well that 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 thinking you can spill 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
Thinking 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 sitting waiting on you
How could you do it (do it do it)?
You should've been here with me
You just couldn't do it, you had to be in the streets

Well I heard it through the grapevine you've been messing around
When you thought you were getting over
That's when a baby girl found out

Well I'm willing to forgive you but I can't forget
Cos 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 thinking that
I'm gonna mess around some time

I gave my heart, gave my child, gave my soul cos love is blind
I can't explain this poor excuse of a man of a boy who's born anew
I pay the rent, washed your clothes
Cooked your food and only God knows
Only God knows why I stayed with you
I guess I'm, I'm in love

Well I'm willing to forgive you but I can't forget
Cos you really really really really hurt me this time
(Oh you really hurt me this time)
And I guess I can go on although I must admit
I've been busy busy busy busy
Thinking that I'm gonna mess around some time

I gave my heart, gave my child, gave my soul 'cause love is blind
I can't explain this poor excuse of a man of a boy who's born anew
I pay the rent, I washed your clothes
Cooked your food and only God knows
Only God knows why I stayed with you
I guess I'm, I'm in love

Well I'm willing to forgive you but I can't forget
Cos you really really really really hurt me this time
(Oh you hurt me you hurt me)
And I guess I can go on although I must admit
I've been busy busy busy busy
Thinking that I'm gonna mess around some time
