Mary Chapman Poet Lyric

I Should Have Listened

Please tell me if it's true 
Is it possible that you 
Have lied to me again 
With no reason in the end 

Left me broken hearted 
Achieving what you wanted 
Is this the way you play? 
The girls that come your way? 

chrous 

I should have listened to my Mother, 
My sister and my brother 
When they said I would be stuck 
With a man I could not trust 

I know that life's not fair 
There are times when we must bear 
That life is not for me 
I'd better if I'm free 

chrous 

I should have listened to my mother, 
My sister and my brother 
When they said I would be stuck 
With a man I could not trust 

Sometimes the answer is where 
You least expect to find it 
My family was always there 
I just didn't realize it 

chrous 

I should have listened to my Mother, 
My sister and my brother 
When they said I would be stuck 
With a man I could not trust

Ian Jones August 1, 2015 at 1:37 PM Betrayal is such a huge deal. Not so much that they want someone else but the betrayal of your feelings freely given and the trust based on returned information. One feels stupid and hurt when it is the betrayer who has no honour, no robustness of character and never really loved us. You can only know if it has happened to you. Loved this one. Kind regards, Ian
