I stood and saw the judge's gavel fall
G7 C
And much to my dismay these words I've heard him say
F C
I've listened to your story boy and it seems to me
G7 C
You'd be better off if you'll set her free
F C
But I love her I love her down on my knees I cry
G7 C
And I don't wanna lose her heaven knows I try
F C
To make her happy but she wants more than me
G7 C
And I'll take her like she is before I'll set her free
F C
Judge I know she loves me in her own kind of way
G7 C
Even though she hurts me a hundred times a day
F C
You tell me that it's better that I should set her free
G7 C
But judge what would you do if you were me
F C
You see I love her I love her in spite of all she's done
G7 C
And I'll keep right on hopin' someday that time will come
F C
When she'll decide that she wants only me
G7 C
And I'll take her like she is before I'll set her free
