Lyrics for I Put My Trust In You
I couldn't believe, I couldn't believe you'd let me down I just couldn't believe, I couldn't believe, you would let me down I've been too good to you, baby, you'd hurt me the way you did My friend tried to tell me, you didn't mean me no good I didn't believe a word he said, I couldn't believe it, ooh I couldn't believe, you would let me down I done lost everything I had, baby I can't believe you would let me down You goes downtown, to the judge You tell the judge, "Everything he got, give it to me" You looked up at me Hit the road Jack And don't come back no more I couldn't believe, you let me down, baby I'm leavin' now baby, done lost my home My brand-new car, baby I know, I know another man gonna move in But I can't believe, treatin' me the way you did Now baby, look at here, baby How could you treat me the way you did, baby? I just couldn't believe, I couldn't believe you would let me down Good as I've been to you, baby I'm goin' now, baby All I got, all I got, is on my back I've gotta go now, baby I better go now, baby, baby I just couldn't believe, hmm Ooh, ah-yeah, oh-yeah, aye, baby
