Set Him Free Lyrics - The End Of The World [gusto] - Skeeter Davis

Set him free, set him free 

For I love him, you see 

Order in the court 

Do you swear to tell the truth 

The whole truth and nothing but the truth 

So help you God 

Yes, I do 

Judge, I've never believed in divorces 

Unless they just have to be 

But after you've heard my story 

Then I know you'll set this man free 

It began right after the wedding 

She cheated and she lied from the start 

And I could see from the way they were hidden 

This woman would soon break his heart 

Set him free, set him free 

For I love him, you see 

The three of us were always the best of friends 

But when I leave this courtroom, judge, I know our friendship ends 

If you could've heard the awful things that I've heard her say 

Why she'd call him names and slap his face, and he'd just turn away 

And the nights we went out for fun 

It was all so plain to see then 

She'd dance all night with someone else 

And leave him there with me 

Set him free, set him free 

For I love him, you see 

Now I ask you, judge, to understand 

Think it over slow 

You see, I fell in love with him 

And I don't care who knows 

I'd respect him as a husband 

And I'd treat him like a man 

I know I can help him find more happiness 

Than this woman ever can 

Well, judge, you've heard my story 

It's true as true can be 

I've even told you that I love him 

So, judge, won't you please set him free? 

Set him free, set him free 

For I love him, you see
