We first crossed paths over at Dean's place
Then the years rolled by without seeing your face
'Til one summer night in my little hometown
I spotted you there, and my walls came down
Since that evening, we were tied at the hip
I trusted the words falling off of your lip
I gave you my soul, I opened the door
Believing that we were meant for much more
ChorusMichael, you did me so wrong
If you didn't really love me, why string me along?
You should have just left my heart alone
It was supposed to be different, a love of our own
But you chose everybody else over me
I only did right by you, why couldn't you see?
I know I'm a good person, I gave you my all
And you tried to discard it, just letting me fall
Verse 2Thirty-one years of a married life
I stood by your side as a faithful wife
Two beautiful daughters we brought to this earth
They carry our traits, I've loved them since birth
But you were impatient, so quick to ignite
Easily irritated, looking to fight
You had me fooled with the promises made
While you lived in the dark and you played in the shade
BridgeSecretly pushing me out of the frame
Chasing your selfish desires, no shame
Unloyal and angry, you tore us apart
You took my devotion and shattered my heart
But I know my own worth, I know I was true
I gave the best parts of my lifetime to you
Final ChorusOh, Michael, you did me so wrong
If you didn't really love me, why string me along?
You should have just left my heart alone
It was supposed to be different, a love of our own
But you chose everybody else over me
I only did right by you, why couldn't you see?
I know I'm a good person, I gave you my all
You tried to discard me, but I'm standing tall
