Can you forgive her lyrics
by Pet Shop Boys
Another night with open eyes
Too late to sleep, too soon to rise
You're short of breath, is it a heart attack?
Hot and feverish you face the fact
You're in love and it feels like shame
Because she's gone and made a fool of you in public again
You're in love and it feels like pain
Because you know there's too much truth in everything she claims
So ask yourself now: can you forgive her?
If she wants you to
Ask yourself: can you even deliver?
What she demands of you
You drift into the strangest dreams
Of youthful follies and changing teams
Admit you're wrong, oh no, not yet
Then you wake up and remember that you can't forget
She's made you some kind of laughing stock
Because you dance to disco and you don't like rock
She'd make fun of you and even in bed
Said she was gonna go and get herself a real man instead
So ask yourself now: can you forgive her?
If she begs you to
Ask yourself: can you even deliver?
What she demands of you or do you want revenge?
But that's childish, so childish
But that's childish, so childish
Remember when you were more easily led
Behind the cricket pavillion and the bicycle shed
Trembling as your dreams came true
You looked right into those blue eyes and knew
It was love and now you can't pretend
You've forgotten all the promises of that first friend
It's bad enough, she knows how you feel
But she's not prepared to share you with the memory
So ask yourself now: can you forgive her?
If she begs you to
Ask yourself: can you even deliver?
What she demands of you
Ask yourself now: can you forgive her?
If she begs you to
And ask yourself: can you even deliver?
What she demands of you, or do you want revenge
But that's childish, so childish
