Lyrics

Martha I wish you were just teasing me
When you tell me we had to part
I don't mind the way that you're making me crawl
Or the footprints you put on my heart
Martha I love you as no other man could ever have love for his wife
Before I disgrace you by causing you shame martha I'd take my own life

Martha you see me I'm down on my knees
Crying my heart out again
While you stand there laughing and tossing your head
Making fun of what's left of a man
Martha you're mixing me up in my mind I'm shattered and prideless I'm weak
But if I didn't love you as much as I do then you wouldn't see tears on my cheek

Martha oh martha I'm sorry I just lost control
But I wish you could understand
I'm begging you martha I love you so much
I'm human I'm only a man
This time you're leaving I know it's for good
And I can't keep you why should I try
But kiss me once martha and then you can go
Martha oh martha goodbye
