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
