There are those who'll come to tell you I have sometimes played it false I have used my kind of smiling Like a bluff and taken all Quiet whispers in your ear babe How you should not take my side Stay lovin, oh darlin! I feel the changing of a tide I got frightened, I took to running I traveled eastward from the west When I packed my bags for London I was sure that I knew best Quick and willing are your informants Who'll say you can't get hold on me Stay lovin, oh darlin! I'm not the way I used to be You may hear things through the grapevine You may hear them on the street But believe me, and don't believe, please Every single thing you read I don't say this to deny them For some may know me by my name But stay lovin oh darlin Though I was she I'm not the same Twice I let my heart be broken Then I did not give my heart Made my faith my base suspicion Every whole I willed apart In your mind you're bound to question Can a girl like that stay true? Stay lovin, oh darlin! I want to stay on loving you
