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.
