[Verse 1]
I cheated on you, dear, and it's no secret
'cause you made sure that everybody knew
But you just told them your side of the story
'cause you knew I would never tell on you

[Chorus]
I love you much too much to tell them what you've done
I never let them know you cheated, too
So you just tell 'em your side of the story
And you know I will never tell on you

[Slide Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
It doesn't seem to matter that I'm sorry
I begged you to forgive a thousand timеs
But you're still telling your side of thе story
'cause you know I will never tell on mine

[Chorus]
I love you much too much to tell them what you've done
I never let them know you cheated, too
So you just tell 'em your side of the story
And you know I will never tell on you
