Just to Satisfy

Loretta Lynn · Love Is the Foundation [1973]

(Carol Jones)



I realize how difficult it is for you

To take me as I am

And knowin' that you're not the first to love me

Makes the difference in a man.



But I feel no shame or guilty conscience

Knowing the way my moral stand

But my one big mistake in life is

Just to satisfy the weakness ina man.



So here I am now

You're all of my yesterdays

Just take my hand

If you can't see yourself with me.



I know my past must hurt you

But baby, I do the best I can

To live with things I did before

Without a wedding ring upon my hand.



Oh, you know it seems so funny

That the story should end as it began

But my one big mistake in life was settin' down my strenght

Just to satisfy the weakness in a man



--- Instrumental ---



So here I am

You're all of my yesterdays

Just take my hand

If you can't see yourself with me...
