If you don't bend you'll have to break It's good advise but a little too late Nothin' but trouble everywhere I go, yeah What I've been through you never know Got me down on my bendin' knee Weepin' and bendin' like a willow tree I'm not lyin' it's not a fake You can tell by the look on my face Just so much a man can take Sooner or later he's gotta break Yes, I'm down on my bendin' knee Weeping an' bendin' like a willow tree Like a bitter pill that ya have to take I'm beggin' you baby, you say it's too late For goodness sakes please give me a break Just a little more that I can take Got me down on my bendin' knee Weepin' and bendin' like a willow tree
