Sixteen Tons lyrics

I've sung a lot of songs, I've made some bad rhyme
I've acted out my love in stages
With ten thousand people watching
But we're alone now and I'm singin' this song to you

I know your image of me is what I hope to be
I've treated you unkindly but darling can't you see?
There's no one more important to me
Darling, can't you please see through me?
'Cause we're alone now and I'm singin' this song to you

You taught me precious secrets of the truth, withholdin' nothin'
You came out in front and I was hiding
But now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody 'cause my love's in there hiding

I'll love you in a place where there's no space and time
I'll love you for my life, you are a friend of mine
And when my life is over, remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singin' this song to you

But I'll love you in a place where there's no space and time
I'll love you for my life, you are a friend of mine
And when my life is over, remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singin' this song for you

We were alone and I was singin' this song for you
We were alone and I was singin' my song
Singin' this song for you

I've sung a lot of songs, I've made some bad rhyme
I've acted out my love in stages
