Marian Bradfield

If I was honest
I would admit I had guessed
But that letter in your pocket
Told me the rest
Did you leave it there
For me to find
Hoping you would not have to explain
And face me blind

But I'm not guilty of anything but loving you
And I thought we had something so special too
Ah but it just goes to show you how wrong you can get
Even though I'm dying for your love

[CHORUS]
I'll never beg for your love
I'll never beg
Theres not one man that I've done that for yet
In the all the things we've said and done
You know I'm not the guilty one
Even though I'm dying for your love
I'll never beg

Why was it always me
Who laid her heart on the line

And when I gave so much it came back broke
Every time
You always said to me
Girl you've got to aim high
But you'll never catch those clouds boy
Cos lies cant reach that high

But I'm not guilty of anything but loving you
And I thought we had something so special too
Ah but it just goes to show you how wrong you can get
Even though I'm dying for your love

[CHORUS]
I'll never beg for your love
I'll never beg
Theres not one man that I've done that for yet
In the all the things we've said and done
You know I'm not the guilty one
Even though I'm dying for your love

I'll never beg
Ohh I'll never beg

The ladies name was susan
She dressed in fancy clothes
Wouldnt talk to common men oh why nobody knows
Then she fell in love with one
Oh a cowboy from the west
But he left her alone too long in her fancy nest

Ladies don't cry Susan they hold their heads up high
Never show their feelings
Never know the reason why
Mamma said find someone who on whom you can rely
Susan, ladies dont cry

Now she sits alone there so proud in her finery
But every night her heart breaks for that love she threw away
And her cowboy he rides so low with his dreams inside his mind
Every dawn regretting he never took her for his bride

Ladies dont cry Susan they hold their heads up high
Never show their feelings
Never know the reason why
Mamma said find someone who on whom you can rely

Susan, ladies don't cry

The ladies name was Susan
She dressed in fancy clothes
Wouldnt talk to common men oh why nobody knows
Then she fell in love with one
Oh a cowboy from the west
But he left her alone too long in her fancy nest

Now you know ladies do Cry Susan all alone in the night
And your cowboy hes so lonely never holding you so tight
His tears are like the falling rain on you're breaking heart

So now you know Susan ladies do cry
Ladies do cry
Ladies do cry
Ladies do cry

Ladies do cry

Let me take you to the waterfront
The mist will wash away those tears
And if you say it's OK, I'll hold your hand 'til this clears
Do I take it she's hurt you again
This time more painful than before?
I wish I had the nerve to tell her
You don't want no more

CHORUS
'Cause, boy, I love you
More than you'll ever know if the truth be said
These feelings that I'm holding back
Make me more than just a friend
But I can never tell the truth
'Cause I don't want to lose your trust
I know that if you went away
My heart would turn to dust

The walls between us were not made to keep
The sound of crying to themselves
And it's another night of wasted dreams you'll defend
I came so close to telling you today
Boy, you just take those dreams and run
But my selfish heart couldn't say those words
Was that so wrong?

CHORUS

Your kitchen light shines onto my back yard
Your shadow paces back and forth
I sit here in the darkness with my
Strange collection of thoughts
But wait a moment, am I in a dream?
Is that the sound of your back door?
And with a flickering shadow of conscience our eyes hold

CHORUS

Yes, tonight, maybe I'll tell the truth
Please, don't let me lose your trust
Tonight, I'll not send you away
Tonight is just for us

Now, I'm not the fool you think I am
My mind was clear, I knew just what you planned
The warning signs were flashing red
And that halo's long gone above your head

CHORUS
You're a heathen, oh, a dealer in love
You're a heathen, a nonbeliever in love

Something in your eyes provokes a dream
You're a villain of the female race, or so it seems
I planned it all, launched into gear
With both eyes open, headed straight for yield

CHORUS

Why did I not take advice
From people who are experts in a fake?
I think it's 'cause I had to see
Exactly for myself just how you'd taste
But don't think for one minute, boy, that I'm afraid
'Cause experience in a woman never goes astray
'Cause experience in a woman never goes astray

Now, I'm taking you, boy, in the middle
You stare in disbelief, but it's no lie
I'm gonna leave you with intrigue
This female devil wants a little peace

CHORUS
CHORUS
CHORUS
