Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels - I Hope lyrics

rate me

Your love used to shine,

As bright as the morning sun.

Till when it filled your heart,

You found another one.

You ran ((away)) with him.

I guess to ((stay)) with him.

Now you're ((gone.))

I forgive you, (I hope.)

Very soon. (I hope.)

Mmmm, git along without you, (I hope.)

Very soon. (I hope.)

I'll find another lover,

Like I know I should.

She'll love me for good, so good.

Then I'll forgive you, (I hope.)

Mmmm, ((I hope.))

I wanted to give you,

All in the world I own.

I guess you needed more

Than you got from me alone.

If he's a ((better)) man,

Girl, hold on ((to his hand.))

Or he'll be ((gone,)) oh-oh.

If he'll forgive you, (I hope.)

Very soon. (I hope.)

Mmmm, he'll get along without you, (I hope.)

Very soon. (I hope.)

You're gon'to love me,

Like I wish you would.

True love is for good, so good.

'Cause I can't forgive you,

No matter how I hope. (I hope.)

Oh-oh-ho, I can't forgive you,/(I hope.)

(I hope.)

No matter how I hope./(I hope.)

(I hope.)

Girl, I can't forgive you,/(I hope,)

(I hope.)

No matter how I hope./(I hope,)

(I hope.)

Whoa, I know I can't...
