  • I stand accused

    I stand accused
    *
    I stand accused 
    of loving you too much
    The neighbors are talking
    -
    Oh I stand accused
    -
    Sometimes I wished she'd stop 
    trusting me too much with you
    -
    Oh I stand accused
    -
    Sometimes I wish you would stop trusting me too much either
    -
    Oh I stand accused
    -
    My mama is saying 
    she knows a man's heart
    She doesn't know yours
    Yours belongs to her forever
    -
    Oh I stand accused
    -
    I see her coming back 
    from a business trip 
    with presents and watches
    I see your face lighting up, 
    the love of your life is home
    -
    Oh I stand accused
    -
    "I love you not her"
    Oh I couldn't believed my ears
    I was deaf
    You said it twice 
    still I was deaf
    Love can hit you so hard 
    you become deaf
    -
    Oh I stand accused
    -
    I stand accused of breaking up 
    a promising relationship
    Oh I stand accused of breaking 
    an unspoken friendship code
    -
    Oh I stand accused
    -
    She trusted me with you
    She trusted a friend
    I'm sorry she trusted me 
    but I'm not sorry I fell 
    in love with you
    -
    Oh I am not sorry
    -
    It just happened
    -
    Oh it just happened
    -
    It was meant to be
    -
    Oh it was meant to be
    -
    I've never persuaded you
    -
    Oh I never did
    -
    We just kissed
    -
    Now love is all around us
