Forgive and Forget - Eddie Rabbitt

When a man cheats on a woman

It’s understood he’s just a man

But when a woman cheats on her man

No one forgives

I drove her out into the night

With teardrops in her eyes

And only now I realize the fool I’ve been

Why couldn’t I love her

And try to understand her?

Instead I said things that I regret

Why couldn’t I just hold her

And say it didn’t matter?

Why couldn’t I forgive and forget?

It’s not her fault she slipped one time

She never was the cheating kind

But when a woman’s unsatisfied

She’s bound to roam

But I got mad

I just saw red

I never heard a word she said

And what I’d give to have her back here in

Why couldn’t I love her

And try to understand her?

Instead I said things that I regret

Why couldn’t I just hold her

And say it didn’t matter?

Why couldn’t I forgive and forget?

Why couldn’t I love her

And try to understand her?

Instead I said things that I regret

Why couldn’t I just hold her

And say it didn’t matter?

Why couldn’t I forgive and forget?
