Love Or Spite
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Once I know you cared for only me a love we shared I know was right
Tomorrow you'll wed someone else tell me darling is it love or is it spite
When your jealous heart drove me from you you found other arms to hold you tight
Tomorrow when you'll say I do will you marry him for love or is it spite
Is it love or spite that drives you to his arms
Can you make your heart believe it's right
Can't you see that you are doing wrong tell me darling is it love or is it spite
[ steel ]
Though tomorrow wedding bells will ring and I'll see you standing at his side
In my heart I'll still be wondering is it love or spite that's making you his bride
Is it love or spite that drives you...
