I love you baby with all my might
God knows I tried to treat you right
I beg you baby, let me be your slave
But please don't send me to an early grave

Well I can't understand, why did you let me go?
Well I can't understand, why did you let me go?
I done all I could, I can't do no more

There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do for you
If you want my life you can have that too
Please use my blood to make my grave
Let the world know I died your happy slave

Well I can't understand, why did you let me go?
Well I can't understand, why did you let me go?
I done all I could, I can't do no more

I thought you loved me, I changed my life
I wanted you to be my woman and wife
Now bloodshot tears have blinded my eyes
I'm too weak to live and too strong to die

Well I can't understand, why did you let me go?
Well I can't understand, why did you let me go?
I done all I could, I can't do no more
