I could shame you till you hide your face And drag you right down in disgrace But what good would it do? I know I'd still haunt you I could tell the world you're doing wrong That I was stringing you along And if it all were true I know I'd still haunt you The world with me might sympathize But I'd be just as blue When I got through with all my lies My heart would still haunt you I could tell my friends I threw you down And slandered you all over town But what good would it do? I know I'd still haunt you If I said I'm happy to be free The only one I'd fool is me Because it isn't true That's why I'd still haunt you What's the use to say that you're no good When I'd crawl back if I could No matter what you do I know I'd still haunt you If the things I said was to break your heart And folks look down on you I'd be the first to take your part And say it wasn't true I could smile and say that I don't care And then go home and pull my hair But what good would it do? I know I'd still haunt you
