Sweet Virginia Brown

We sleep in a basement
Feet on the pavement
Under the rug

I wouldn’t dispise you
If you should decide to
Abandon our love

Cause I know
It’s not fair to you
And I know
I can’t care for you
And so
I won’t marry you
Today

You didn’t see the
Worst of the evenings
When you went away

And now that you’re back here
I put on this act dear
Everyday
Sometimes we die laughing
And just as it’s happening
I start to say
I’d love to explore you
And maybe adore you
In so many ways

But I know
It’s not fair to you
If I show
That I care for you
I’ll only embarrass you
someday

Sweet Virginia Brown
I will Let you down

But baby don’t worry
I’m not in a hurry
I’m not gonna go
I know it sounds selfish
But I can’t help
It’s a drag on my own

I know
It’s not fair to you
And I swore
That I’d swear to you
And although
I may burn in hell

I’ll lie so I won’t lie again alone

Sweet Virginia Brown
I will let you down
Sweet Virginia Brown
I will let you down
