Don't be angry at me darling if I fail to understand All your little whims and wishes all the time Just remember that I'm dumb I guess like any foolish man And my head stays sorta foggy cause you're mine Well I recall the first time that I flirted with you dear When I jokingly said come and be my bride Now that time has turned the pages it's the sweetest joke on earth That I have you near forever by my side Maybe someday you're gonna hurt me I've been hurting of before Only God can know and time alone will tell But in the mean time I'll keep loving you with all my heart and soul And pray God to let it last if it's his will So don't be angry...
