Wanted Someone who kissed me And held me closely Then stole my heart Wanted Someone I trusted Who gave no warning We'd ever part She was last seen Hiding out in someone's arms He knew nothing Of the danger in her charms A jury May find her guilty But I'd forgive her If I could see A signed confession That she's repented And really wanted No one but me Wanted Someone who kissed me And held me closely Then stole my heart Wanted Someone I trusted Who gave no warning That we'd ever part She was last seen Hiding out in someone's arms He knew nothing Of the danger in her charms A jury May find her guilty But I'd forgive her If I could see A signed confession That she's repented And really wanted No one but me
