Set Him Free

Set him free
Set him free
For I love him, you see

Order in the court
You swear to tell the truth
The whole truth
And nothing but the truth
So help you God
Yes, I do

Judge, I've never believed in divorces
Unless they just have to be
But after you've heard my story
Then I know you'll set this man free

It began right after the wedding
She cheated and she lied
Right from the start
And I could see from the way they were headed
This woman would soon break his heart

Set him free
Set him free
For I love him, you see

The three of us were always best of friends
But when I leave this courtroom, judge
I know our friendship ends
If you could have heard the awful things I've heard her say
While she called him names and slapped his face
And he'd just turn away

And the nights we went out for fun
It was also plain to see then
She danced all night with someone else
And leaved him there with me

Set him free
Set him free
For I love him, you see

Now I ask you, judge to understand
Think it over slowly
You see
I fell in love with
And I dont care who knows
I respect him as a husband
And I treat him like a man
I know I could help him find more happiness than this woman ever can

Well, Judge, you've heard my story
It's as true as true can be
I've even told you that I love him
So Judge, won't you please set him free?

Set him free
Set him free
For I love him, you see
