Margo Guryan - Please Believe Me lyrics

PLEASE BELIEVE ME (A Watergate Love Story) Words and Music by Margo Guryan Please believe me, I didn?t know Her huggin? and kissin? me would hurt you so Please believe me, I never lied I only tried and tried and tried To make you understand I didn?t explain at first, but that was for you You might have believed the worst, and the worst wasn?t true I did, I did, I swear I did it all for you When people started talking, I sent my friends to you And they put out the story, she was just my Cousin Sue You heard from hidden sources a story close to mine Till they misspoke and told you Cousin Sue was eighty-nine Please believe me, though what I say May soon be inoperative, it?s true today Please believe me, I?m very cool At that point in time, as I recall I did it all for you Then someone misinformed you: there was proof in black and white But there aren?t any letters, Cousin Sue can?t even write It was vicious innuendo that convinced you I had sinned But I?d never leave you twisting slowly, slowly in the wind Please believe me, I?m staying here The fact that I?m true to you is perfectly clear Please believe me, you?re just a kid Therefore you must believe I did, I did it all for you It was wrong for you to ask them at the Watergate Hotel If Sue and I had been there, it was wrong for them to tell I know you?ll understand it when the facts are yours to see I swear I never touched her; she was making love to me Please believe me, I love you a lot I?m gonna take care of you, if you like it or not Please believe me, you?ll never get rid Of someone who did, he did, I swear, I did it all for you © 1973(renewed) DARTMOOR MUSIC Used by permission.
