Please Believe Me Lyrics - 25 Demos - Margo Guryan

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
