Curtis Mayfield - Resentment lyrics

[Verse 1] I wish I could believe you, then I'd be alright But now everything you told me really don't apply to the way I feel inside Loving you was easy once upon a time But now my suspicions of you have multiplied And it's all because you lied [Chorus] I only give you a hard time Cause I can't go on and pretend like I haven't tried to forget this But I'm much too full of resentment [Verse 2] Just can't seem to get over the way you hurt me Don't know how you gave another who didn't mean a thing The very thing you gave to me I thought I could forgive you, and I know you've changed As much as I want to trust you, I know it ain't the same And it's all because you lied [Chorus] I only give you a hard time Cause I can't go on and pretend like I haven't tried to forget this But I'm much too full of resentment [Bridge] I may never understand why I'm doing the best that I can And I tried, and I tried to forget this But I'm much too full of resentment I'll always remember feeling like I was no good Like I couldn't do it for you like your mistress could And it's all because you lied Loved you more than another, more than my own life But that part of me I gave you, it was sacrificed And it's all because you lied [Chorus] I only give you a hard time Cause I can't go on and pretend like I haven't tried to forget this But I'm much too full of resentment [Outro] I know she was attractive, but I was here first Been riding with you for 6 years Why did I deserve to be treated this way by you? I know you're probably thinking, "What's up with B?" I been crying for too long, what did you do to me? I used to be so strong, but now you took my soul I'm crying, can't stop crying Can't stop crying You could've told me you wasn't happy I know you didn't wanna hurt me But look what you've done to me now I gotta look at her in her eyes and see she's had half of me How could you lie?
