Marty Robbins Martha Oh Martha lyrics

Martha, I wish you were just teasing me
When you tell me we had to part
I don't mind the way that you're making me crawl
Or the footprints you put on my heart

Martha, I love you as no other man
Could ever have love for his wife
Before I disgrace you by causing you shame
Martha, I'd take my own life

Martha, you see me I'm down on my knees
Crying my heart out again
While you stand there laughing
And tossing your head
Making fun of what's left of a man

Martha, you're mixing me up in my mind

I'm shattered and prideless, I'm weak
But if I didn't love you as much as I do
Then you wouldn't see tears on my cheek

Martha oh Martha, I'm sorry I just lost control
But I wish you could understand
I'm begging you Martha, I love you so much
I'm human, I'm only a man

This time you're leaving, I know it's for good
And I can't keep you, why should I try?
But kiss me once Martha, and then you can go
Martha oh Martha, goodbye
