A letra:
I'm
getting weary looking in my baby's eyes
When she's near me she's
so hard to recognize.
I finally realize there's no room for
regret,
True love, true love, true love tends to forget.
Hold me, baby be near,
You told me
that you'd be sincere.
Every day of the year's like playin'
Russian roulette,
True love, true love, true love tends to forget.
I was lyin' down in the reeds without
any oxygen
I saw you in the wilderness among the men.
Saw you
drift into infinity and come back again
All you got to do is wait
and I'll tell you when.
You're a tearjerker, baby, but I'm
under your spell,
You're a hard worker, baby, and I know you
well.
But this weekend in hell is making me sweat,
True love,
true love, true love tends to forget,
True love, true love, true
love tends to forget.
I was lyin' down in the reeds without
any oxygen
I saw you in the wilderness among the men.
Saw you
drift into infinity and come back again
All you got to do is wait
and I'll tell you when.
You belong to me, baby, without any
doubt,
Don't forsake me, baby, don't sell me out.
Don't keep me
knockin' about from Mexico to Tibet,
True love, true love, true
love tends to forget.
