For the love of a good woman
— did I stab so many knives in your back
For the love of a good woman
— I guess subtlety was something I lacked
For the love of a good woman
— should I confess all those passionate crimes
And for the love of a good woman
— should I confess all those false alibis
Still I never turned truth away
I never tried tempting fate
And I never said wisdom waits
For someone so great
For someone so great
For someone so great
For the love of a good woman
— I tried everything embarrassment can
For the love of a good woman
— I tried violence, tried purpose and lies
For the love of a good woman
— I hid my blushes and I softened the blows
For the love of a good woman
— I laughed out loud when all my greeness it showed
So many nights I left you stranded
So many nights I left you so alone
So many nights I gave nothing but heartache
But I all the time I gave you sweet love
So many nights I left you stranded
So many nights I left you so alone
So many nights I gave nothing but heartache
But I all the time I gave you sweet love
For the love of a good woman
For the love of a good woman
For the love of a good woman
For the love of a good woman will I ever find
