So faithfully you promised me we'd marry in the spring

A year has passed and now at last I see through everything

Just like a fool I let you rule this heart inside of me

Now you don't care how many years I'll spend in misery

Girls in disgrace must surely face the gossips of the town

And everytime she's passing by they greet her with a frown

You constantly reveal to me that you could never be

The kind of man to understand girls in disgrace like me

[ guitar ]

So patiently I try to see and understand your game

I'd even wait night after night you seldom ever came

I know you'll say I'm all to blame I know you just can't see

How I could think so much of you and never think of me

Girls in disgrace must surely face...
