Please Believe Me

Please believe me, I didn? t know
Her huggin? and kissin? me would hurt you so
Please believe me, I never lied
I only tried and tried and tried
To make you understand
I didn? t explain at first, but that was for you
You might have believed the worst, and the worst wasn? t true
I did, I did, I swear I did it all for you
When people started talking, I sent my friends to you
And they put out the story, she was just my Cousin Sue
You heard from hidden sources a story close to mine
Till they misspoke and told you Cousin Sue was eighty-nine
Please believe me, though what I say
May soon be inoperative, it? s true today
Please believe me, I? m very cool
At that point in time, as I recall I did it all for you
Then someone misinformed you: there was proof in black and white
But there aren? t any letters, Cousin Sue can? t even write
It was vicious innuendo that convinced you I had sinned
But I? d never leave you twisting slowly, slowly in the wind
Please believe me, I? m staying here
The fact that I? m true to you is perfectly clear
Please believe me, you? re just a kid
Therefore you must believe I did, I did it all for you
It was wrong for you to ask them at the Watergate Hotel
If Sue and I had been there, it was wrong for them to tell
I know you? ll understand it when the facts are yours to see
I swear I never touched her; she was making love to me
Please believe me, I love you a lot
I? m gonna take care of you, if you like it or not
Please believe me, you? ll never get rid
Of someone who did, he did, I swear, I did it all for you
