Can You Forgive Her? (swing version) Songtext / Lyric

Another night with open eyes
Too late to sleep, too soon to rise
You're short of breath, is it a heart attack?
Hot and feverish you face the fact

You're in love, and it feels like shame (You're in love)
Because she's gone and made a fool of you in public again
You're in love, and it feels like pain (You're in love)
Because you know there's too much truth in everything she claims

So ask yourself now: Can you forgive her (Ask yourself now: Can you forgive
her)
If she wants you to?
Ask yourself: Can you even deliver (Ask yourself: Can you even deliver)
What she demands of you?

You drift into the strangest dreams
Of youthful follies and changing teams
Admit you're wrong, oh, no, not yet
Then you wake up and remember that you can't forget

She's made you some kind of laughing stock (She's made you)
Because you dance to disco, and you don't like rock
She'd make fun of you, and even in bed (She'd make fun)
Said she was gonna go and get herself a real man instead

So ask yourself now: Can you forgive her (Ask yourself now: Can you forgive
her)
If she begs you to?
Ask yourself: Can you even deliver (Ask yourself: Can you even deliver)
What she demands of you?
Or do you want revenge?
But that's childish, so childish! (But that's childish, so childish!)
But that's childish, so childish! (But that's childish, so childish!)

Remember when you were more easily led
Behind the cricket pavilion and the bicycle shed
Trembling as your dreams came true
You looked right into those blue eyes and knew

It was love, and now you can't pretend (It was love)
You've forgotten all the promises of that first friend
It's bad enough, she knows how you feel (It's bad enough)
But she's not prepared to share you with the memory

So ask yourself now: Can you forgive her (Ask yourself now: Can you forgive
her)
If she wants you to?
Ask yourself: Can you even deliver (Ask yourself: Can you even deliver)
What she demands of you?
Ask yourself now: Can you forgive her (Ask yourself now: Can you forgive her)
If she begs you to?
And ask yourself: Can you even deliver (Ask yourself: Can you even deliver)
What she demands of you?
Or do you want revenge?
But that's childish, so childish! (But that's childish, so childish!)

Mmmwah!
