I Wish He Didn't Trust Me So Much Lyrics
Bobby Womack
Lyrics
I'm the best friend he's got
I'd give him the shirt off my back
He knows he can trust me with his life
But he's tryin' to leave me alone
Leaves me alone with his wife
I wish he didn't trust me so much
I think he really trusts me too much
How can he be so blind?
We've both got the same good taste
He should know when he's gone on his business trips
I can't help watchin' his woman
'Cause I'm losin' my grip
I wish he didn't trust me so much
I think he really trusts me too much
Though I swear, all is not my will
But there's a way
There's a way she make me feel
Lord, I'm scared, so scared of what I do
If she starts feelin' same way too
You shouldn't trust me so much
(We got a problem)
I think you really trust me too much
It's not that she leads me on
I'm gettin' there all by myself
But just being with her all, all alone
I can't help but hopin'
That he never comes home
I wish he didn't trust me so much
I think you really trust me too much
I wish he didn't trust me so much
(We got a problem)
I think you really trust me too much
Though I swear, all is not my will
(Is not my will)
But it's somethin' about the way
The way she makes me feel
Lord, I'm so scared, scared of what I do
If she starts feelin' the same way too
I wish he didn't trust me so much
(Ooh)
I think he really trusts me too much
(I got a problem)
You can see, I'm caught up
(I wish he didn't trust me so much)
Caught up in the middle
(I think he really trusts me too much)
