Wisdom Waits - Hurrah!

For the love of a good woman

— did I stab so many knives in your back,

for the love of a good woman

— I guess subtlety was something I lacked,

for the love of a good woman

— should I confess all those passionate crimes,

and for the love of a good woman

— should I confess all those false alibis.

Still I never turned truth away,

I never tried tempting fate,

and I never said wisdom waits,

for someone so great,

for someone so great,

for someone so great.

For the love of a good woman

— I tried everything embarrassment can,

for the love of a good woman

— I tried violence, tried purpose and lies,

for the love of a good woman

— I hid my blushes and I softened the blows,

for the love of a good woman

— I laughed out loud when all my greeness it showed.

So many nights I left you stranded,

so many nights I left you so alone,

so many nights I gave nothing but heartache,

but I all the time I gave you sweet love.

So many nights I left you stranded,

so many nights I left you so alone,

so many nights I gave nothing but heartache,

but I all the time I gave you sweet love.

For the love of a good woman,

for the love of a good woman,

for the love of a good woman,

for the love of a good woman will I ever find.
