[Be True to the One that Brung Ya’ [Intro] [acoustic guitar strumming, bass and drums enter] [Verse 1] [female vocals all the way through this verse] You want me to trust you, but I don't You want me to forgive you, but I won't [ male voice] I'm a cheater and a rover. [female voice] I'm not willing to start over I don't trust you, I don't love you, so you're gone [Verse 2] [male vocals] Darling, please forgive me for being so unkind For causing to unravel those precious ties that bind I know that I have hurt you [female voice] and want to walk away [male voice] Darling, please forgive me, I'm begging you to stay [Verse 3] [female vocals] Don't ever call me darling, I've soured on that name [female voice] Pack your bags and hit the road, I'm tired of your games [female voice continues] Of course I will forgive you, 'cause Jesus says that's right [female voice] You'll just enjoy forgiveness sleeping somewhere else tonight. [Bridge] [male vocal]] Don't think that you can fool me, I've watched you through the years [male vocal] And I have grown accustomed to your crocodile tears [female vocal] I hope that you'll remember, in God's eyes we were one [female vocal] But half of us is leaving because of what you've done [Chorus] [male and female harmony vocals] Be true to the one that brung ya, be true to the one you wed Remember the vows you've taken and the loving things you've said. In marriage being loyal ain't a maybe, it's a must Your marriage ain't a marriage Once you've lost the other's trust [Verse 5] [male vocals] Trying to convince her, I chose another course. Darling, please remember, the Father hates divorce [verse 6 [female vocals] That's true, I answered quickly, But Jesus said except And you've met that exception In the places you have slept [female vocals continue] I hate to bust your bubble, but bubbles sometimes bust [[female voice continues] I'm granting you forgiveness, But you have lost my trust [female voice continues] Trusting is believing, and I don't trust for sure So you best start believing 'cause you're headed out that door [Chorus] [male and female harmony vocals] Be true to the one that brung ya, Be true to the one you wed Remember the vows you've taken and the loving things you've said In marriage being loyal ain't a maybe, it's a must Your marriage ain't a marriage once you've lost the other's trust [Verse 7] [female voice] It turned out I had photos, I brought them into court [female voice continues] That's why half HIS monthly paycheck now pays for MY support [female voice continues] So if you plan to marry, take guidance from above [female voice continues] Be true to the one that brung ya, be true to the one you love [Outro] [female vocals] I don't trust you, I don't love you, so you're gone yes, you're gone [acoustic guitar final strum]
