You say you'll never be my wife cause you've done wrong in life
And from it all your heart is bruised and torn
But God will forgive you and darlin' I will too
But let me love you, Don't throw your life away

He used your heart for his fun now the damage has been done
Don't wish that you had never been born
For the mistake has been made your love's too sweet to waste away
But let me love you, Don't throw your life away

He treated you mean and cheap and your heart I know was deep
A rose you found was full of deadly thorns
He dragged your name beneath his feet and now he shuns you on the street
But let me love you, don't throw your life away

Come into my waiting arms, we'll fight life's bitter storms
My loving you I'm not sorry for
And if your love's not meant for me then wrong I'll always be
But let me love you, don't throw your life away
