Marty Robbins - Martha Oh Martha lyrics

rate me

Martha, I wish you were just teasin' me<br />

When you tell me we have to part<br />

I don't mind the way that you're makin' me crawl<br />

Or the footprints you put on my heart<br />

Martha, I love you as no other man<br />

Could ever have love for his wife<br />

Before I disgrace you by causing you shame<br />

Martha, I'd take my own life<br />

<br />

Martha, you see me I'm down on my knees<br />

Cryin' my heart out again<br />

While you stand there laughin' and tossin' your head<br />

Makin' fun of what's left of a man<br />

Martha, you're mixin' me up in my mind<br />

I'm shattered and prideless, I'm weak<br />

But if I didn't love you as much as I do<br />

Then you wouldn't see tears on my cheek<br />

<br />

Martha, oh, Martha, I'm sorry I just lost control<br />

But I wish you could understand<br />

I'm begging you, Martha, I love you so much<br />

I'm human, I'm only a man<br />

This time you're leavin' I know it's for good<br />

And I can't keep you, why should I try<br />

But kiss me once, Martha, and then you can go<br />

Martha, oh, Martha, goodbye
