Let Me Be the Judge

Jean Shepard · The Melody Ranch Girl [Bear Family (Germany)] [1996]

(Conway Twitty)



Just let me be the judge

Of what you've done and if I find

You guilty, I'd erase you

From my heart and from my mind.



Talk is goin' over town that you my dear have let me down

I don't believe what people say I still love you

I don't believe that you're to blame

I don't believe you've brought me shame.



I just can't believe that you' have been untrue

They say I should go on alone that you've done somethin' very wrong

That you're not worthy of the love I have for you

But I won't believe a thing I hear until you say it's true.



Just let me be the judge

Of what you've done and if I find

You guilty, I'd erase you

From my heart and from my mind.



--- Instrumental ---



Now you confess the things they say are true and I should go my way

You think I can forgive you for the wrong you've done

You say although you were untrue I still mean everything to you

It only meant to dance with her and have some fun.



In the jukebox played our favorite song

You knew that you were doing wrong

You closed your eyes and made believe that I was there

And now you think for certain that I'll end our love affair.



But let me be the judge

Of what you've done and if I find

You guilty, I'd erase you

From my heart and from my mind...
