[Verse 1]
Girl, I can understand how it might be
Kinda hard to love a guy like me
I don't blame you much for wantin' to be free
I just wanted you to know
I loved you better than your own kin did
And from the very start
It's my own fault for what happens to my heart
You see I've always known you'd go
[Chorus]
So you just do what you gotta do, my wild sweet love
Though it may mean I'll never kiss those sweet lips again
Pay that no mind and find that dappled dream of yours
And come on back and see me when you can
[Verse 2]
Now, I know they make you sad, make you feel so bad
Say you don't treat me like you should
They got ways to make you feel no good
I guess they've got no way to know
I've had my eyes wide open from the start
And girl you never lied to me;
The part of you they'll never see
Is the part you've shown to me
[Chorus]
Now, you just do what you gotta do, my wild sweet love
Though it may mean I'll never kiss those sweet lips again
Pay that no mind and find that dappled dream of yours
And come on back and see me when you can
[Chorus]
Now, you just do what you gotta do, my wild sweet love
Though it may mean I'll never kiss those sweet lips again
Pay that no mind and find that dappled dream of yours
And come on back and see me when you can
