Girl, I can understand
How it might be kind of hard to love a guy like me
I don't blame you much for wanting to be free
I just wanted you to know

I've loved you better that your own kin did
From the very start, it's my own fault
For what happens to my heart, girl
You see I've always known you'd go

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, just chase that dappled dream of yours
Come on back, come on back, see me when you can
(Make it in a hurry)

Now I know they make you feel sad, make you feel kinda sad
Yeah, say you don't treat me, me like you should
They got ways, yeah, to make you feel no good
But they got no way to know

I've had my eyes wide open from the very start
And girl you've never lied to me
And the part they will never, never see
Is the part you've shown me

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, chase that dappled dream of yours
And come on back, come on back and see me when you can

Do what you, do what you gotta do, my wild sweet love
Though it may mean I'll never kiss those lips again
Oh, pay that no mind, chase that dappled dream of yours
Come on back, come on back, see me when you can

Now I know they make you feel sad, make you feel so bad
Say you don't treat me me like you should
They got ways to make you feel no good
I guess they got no way to know

I've had my eyes wide open from the start
Girl, you've never lied to me
But the part they will never see is the part that you've shown me
Oh, is the part that you've shown me

Girl, I can understand
How it might be kind of hard to love a guy like me
I don't blame you much for wanting to be free
I just wanted you to know

I've loved you better than your own kin did
From the very very start, though it's my own fault
What ever happens to my heart
You see I've always known you'd go

So you just do, oh, do
