I just can’t help myself
I need to let you go
I try not to let the love
I have for you show

But there’s no use in pretending
That it isn’t there
Because it’s permanently engraved in my heart
And it’s not goin’ anywhere

I make declarations of love
For other men
But the only ones fooled by it
Is them

I know that no matter
What I say or do
I’m hopelessly devoted
To you

I tell myself you don’t
Love me the same
I put aside any dream
Of carrying your name

When I think of it
My eyes fill with tears
How much and how long
I’ve wanted to be Mrs. Grier

But you’re in no hurry
To take my hand
So I said I’d give it to
Some other man

One who speaks words
I want to hear
One who comforts me
And wipes away my tears
He cherishes my mind
And adores my smile
And he treats my son
As his own child

Inspite of personal drama
He faces day to day
He puts aside the negative
And always has loving things to say

He puts a tingle in my hands
And weakness in my knees
Never selfish with his love
It’s me he wants to please

All the things he provides
Are things I wanted from you
But distance has always held us apart
And there’s nothing we could do

Even though I found another
My love still remains true
Because I will always be
Hopelessly devoted to you
