Lyrics for Anyhow
I know it really is a pity The way you treat me now I know you canāt forgive me But forgive me anyhow The ending got so ugly I even heard you say You never ever loved me But could you love me anyway I dreamed about you baby You were wearing half your dress I know you have to hate me But could you hate me less? I used up all my chances And youāll never take me back But there aināt no harm in asking Could you cut me one more slack? Iām naked and Iām filthy And thereās sweat upon my brow And both of us are guilty Anyhow Have mercy on me baby After all I did confess Even though you have to hate me Could you hate me less? Itās a shame and itās a pity I know you canāt forgive me The ending got so ugly You never ever loved me Dreamed about you baby I know you have to hate me Iām naked and Iām filthy And both of us are guilty Anyhow Have mercy on me baby
