I Hold No Grudge

Nina Simone · High Priestess Of Soul [2006]

I hold no grudge



There's no resentment underneath



I'll extend the laurel wreath and we'll be friends



But right there is where it ends



I hold no grudge



And I'll forgive you your mistake



But forgive me if I take it all to heart



And make sure that it doesn't start again



Yes, I'm the kind of people you can step on for a little while



But when I call it quits, baby that's it



I'm the kind of people you can hurt once in a while



But crawling just ain't my style



I hold no grudge



And deep inside me there's no regrets



But a gal who's been forgotten may forgive



But never once forget
