Martha, Oh Martha lyrics

Martha I wish you were just teasin' me

When you tell me we had to part

I don't mind the way that you're makin' me crawl

Or the footprints you put on my heart

Martha I love you as no other man

Could ever have love for his wife

Before I disgrace you by causing you shame,

Martha I'd take my own life

Martha you see me, I'm down on my knees

Cryin' my heart out again

While you stand there laughin' and tossin' your head

Making fun of what's left of a man

Martha you're mixing me up in my mind

I'm shattered and prideless, I'm weak

But if I didn't love you as much as I do

Then you wouldn't see tears on my cheek

Martha, oh Martha

I'm sorry, I just lost control

But I wish you could understand

I'm begging you Martha, I love you so much

I'm human, I'm only a man

This time you're leaving, I know it's for good

And I can't keep you, why should I try?

But kiss me once Martha and then you can go

Martha, oh Martha, goodbye
