Juanita Stein - Forgiver Lyrics

FORGIVER

She was an angel dressed in disguise
He was far too innocent to notice
She spun him round, took him to every show in town
He was way to lonesome to compromise

She closed the door
He closed his eyes
Everybody needs somebody

She talked in circles
He listened straight
She's a caged bird in a sanctuary
He wore his love like a deer in headlights
But if you listen close you'll hear him say

Please take your time
Been up all night and everybody needs somebody

But nobody wants to be anybody else's fool
He's such a forgiver, how could anybody be so cruel
Nobody wants to be anybody else's

It was the first time
It was the last time he ever lost himself completely
He spent the next ten years, filled up on gin and tears
How did this slip of fate defeat me

He closed his eyes and realized that everybody needs somebody

But nobody wants to be anybody else's fool
He's such a forgiver, how could anybody be so cruel
Nobody wants to be anybody else's fool
He's such a forgiver, my baby never learned the rules

Nobody wants to be anybody else's fool
He's such a forgiver
