Sweet Lady Genevieve - The Kinks

Once under a scarlet sky I told you never ending lies

But they were the words of a drunken vagabond

Who knew very well he would break your heart before long

Oh forgive me Genevieve

Now I’ve come back to see Sweet Lady Genevieve

This time I’ll give you some security

And I will make promises I can keep

So will you come back to me Sweet Lady Genevieve

Let me rock you, hold you

Take you in my arms

Forgive me, please

Smile away all your sadness, put your trust in me

Oh if you come back to me Sweet Lady Genevieve

I’m not the impetuous fool that you used to know

I know that I used you and I hurt you so

But that was so long ago Sweet Lady Genevieve

Oh, love me

Take me in your arms

Let me rock you, hold you

Smile away all your sadness, put your trust in me

Once under a starry sky I led you on and told you lies

Drank too much whiskey on that hot summer night

I acted so slyly 'cause you were acting so shy

Oh forgive me Genevieve

If you come back to me Sweet Lady Genevieve

You’re not the child who smiled so innocently

And I’m not the rogue that I used to be

So will you come back to me Sweet Lady Genevieve

Oh Genevieve, Oh Genevieve
