Hurrah! - Wisdom Waits lyrics

For the love of a good woman - did I stab so many knives in your back, For the love of a good woman - I guess subtlety was something I lacked, For the love of a good woman - should I confess all those pa**ionate crimes, And for the love of a good woman - should I confess all those false alibis. Still I never turned truth away, I never tried tempting fate, And I never said wisdom waits, For someone so great, For someone so great, For someone so great. For the love of a good woman - I tried everything embarra**ment can, For the love of a good woman - I tried violence, tried purpose and lies, For the love of a good woman - I hid my blushes and I softened the blows, For the love of a good woman - I laughed out loud when all my greeness it showed. So many nights I left you stranded, So many nights I left you so alone, So many nights I gave nothing but heartache, But I all the time I gave you sweet love. So many nights I left you stranded, So many nights I left you so alone, So many nights I gave nothing but heartache, But I all the time I gave you sweet love. For the love of a good woman, For the love of a good woman, For the love of a good woman, For the love of a good woman will I ever find.
