I reached out my hand to gently touch her
For a moment there I think she almost smiled
Then she trembled turned away whispered some day not today
Gettin' over bitter mem'ries takes awhile.
Some one else has built a wall of ice between us
I'll melt it all away a little at a time
I'll just take her slow until she knows the past is all behind
And I wouldn't cheat on her if she was mine.
I try to understand how she must feel
Wantin' love so bad afraid to try
I'll do all a man can do to let her know it's love this time
And I wouldn't cheat on her if she was mine.
It's so hard for her to see love's other side
When the only love she's known's the hurtin' kind
I'll just take her slow until she knows the past is all behind
And I wouldn't cheat on her if she was mine.
No, I wouldn't cheat on her if she was mine...
