FORGIVE ME (FOR GIVING YOU SUCH A BAD TIME)
Burt Bacharach (m) Hal David (l) )
as recorded by Babs Tino
with orchestra conducted by Chuck Sagle
1962
As much as I love you,
As much as I need you,
Like a fool I let you down,
Played around all over town!
Forgive me for givin' you such a bad time,
For makin' you blue,
For makin' you sad,
And for givin' you such a bad time!
But I swear,
If you just give me a chance to,
I'll make it all up to you;
Forgive me for givin' you such a bad time!
I was wrong but I've learned,
Even fools live and learn!
Like a fool I let you down,
Played around all over town!
Forgive me for givin' you such a bad time,
For makin' you blue,
For makin' you sad,
And for givin' you such a bad time!
But I swear,
If you just give me a chance to,
I'll make it all up to you;
Forgive me for givin' you such a bad time!
I was wrong but I've learned,
Even fools live and learn!
