I'm not asking that everyday be sunny
I'm not asking that there should be a party every Friday
Nor do I ask you to come back begging forgiveness
If you're crying with dry eyes and talking about her
Oh my love, it hurts so much...
It hurts so much
That you left without saying a word
Oh my love, losing you was
...torture
(Chorus 1)
I know I haven't been a saint
But I know I can make it up to you
A man doesn't live on bread alone
Nor do I live on excuses
We only learn from mistakes
And today I know my heart is yours
Better save that for yourself
Take that bone to some other dog and let's
say Goodbye
I can't ask winter to spare a rose bush
I can't ask an elm tree .... to bear pears
I can't ask the eternal of a mere mortal
and go about casting thousands.. of pearls before swine
Oh my love, it hurts so much, it hurts so much
That you no longer trust my promises
Oh my love...
losing you has been
...torture
(Repeat Chorus x1)
Don't you leave,
Don't you leave,
Listen baby,
don't get angry
From Monday to Friday you have my love
Leave Saturday to me and you'll be better
Listen baby, don't punish me anymore
Because without you, out there I have no peace
I'm only just a repentant man
I'm the bird that returns to its nest
I know I haven't been a saint
and I know I'm not made of stone
A man doesn't live on bread alone
Nor do I live on excuses
We only learn from our mistakes
And today I know my heart is yours
Ay... Ay... ay, ay, ay
Ay, after all I've done for you
It was such a torture to lose you
and it just hurts me so like this
Keep crying forgive me
I...
I'm not going... to cry over you
