Gladys Knight ๐๐ค๐๐ค๐
๐ถGave you the best
Best years of my life and I
Gave you a woman
Who stood by your side
Through all your ups and downs
Your rights and all your wrongs
And God knows there were wrongs
I should've been long gone, but when I
Made you that promise
For better or worse I said I'd
Stand by your side
I swallowed my prideโฆ๐ถ
(I Donโt Want to Know, 1994)
