Don't know what he sees in me He is spirit, he is free And I, the wife of adultery Gomer is my name Simply more than I can see How he keeps on forgiving me How he keeps his sanity Hosea, you're a fool A fool to love someone like me, A fool to suffer silently; Though sometimes through your eyes I see I'd rather be a fool. The fondness of a father The passion of a child The tenderness of a loving friend An understanding smile All of this and so much more You've lavished on a faithless whore I've never known love like this before Hosea, you're a fool This God of yours would not have told To lift a love that you couldn't hold And though time and time again I flee I'm always glad to see you coming after me Simply more than I can see How he keeps on forgiving me The wife of adultery Gomer is my name
