Please Believe Me - Margo Guryan
Please believe me
I didn't know
Her huggin' and kissin' me
Would hurt you so
Please believe me I never lied
I only tried and tried and tried
To make you understand
I didn't explain at first
But that was for you
You might have believed the worst
And the worst wasn't true
I did I did
I swear I did it all for you
When people started talking
I sent my friends to you
And they put out the story
She was just my Cousin Sue
You heard from hidden
Sources a story close to mine
Till they misspoke and told
You Cousin Sue was eighty-nine
Please believe me
Though what I say
May soon be inoperative
It's true today
Please believe me
I'm very cool
At that point in time
As I recall I did it all for you
Then someone misinformed you:
There was proof in black and white
But there aren't any letters
Cousin Sue can't even write
It was vicious innuendo
That convinced
You I had sinned
But I'd never leave
You twisting slowly
Slowly in the wind
Please believe me
I'm staying here
The fact that I'm true to
You is perfectly clear
Please believe me
You're just a kid
Therefore you must believe I did
I did it all for you
It was wrong for you to ask
Them at the Watergate Hotel
If Sue and I had been there
It was wrong for them to tell
I know you'll understand it
When the facts are yours to see
I swear I never touched her;
She was making love to me
Please believe me
I love you a lot
I'm gonna take care of you
If you like it or not
Please believe me
You'll never get rid
Of someone who did he did
I swear I did it all for you
