I could shame you 'til you hide your face And drag you right down in disgrace But what good would it do? I know I'd still want you I could tell the world you're doin' wrong That I was stringin' you along And if it all were true I know I'd still want you This world with me might sympathize When I got through with all my lies But I'd be just as blue 'Cause my heart would still want you Cry, oh Lord I could tell my friends I threw you down And slander your name all over town But what good would it do? I know I'd still want you If I said I'm happy to be free The only one I'd fool is me Because it isn't true I know I'd still want you What's the use to say that you're no good When I'd crawl back if I could No matter what you do I know I'd still want you Cry, oh Lord I could smIle and say that I don't care And then go home and pull my hair But what good would it do? I know I'd still want you I could say that someone put me wise And get revenge by telling lies But when I got all through I know I'd still want you If the things I said was to break your heart I'd be the first to take your part Only if all these lies were true I know I'd still want you Cry, oh Lord
