The loaded dimes and poisoned darts
He always aims for the heart
Knows how to hurt me, knows how to win
His love's a kick in the shins
I'd never thought we'd go together
Now I never say never
Cause when he falls, I see the boy-child
I can't help but sympathize so

I will rescue him, I will rescue him
Each time he knocks I let him in, when he walks in
Time and time again, time again
I give my forgiveness (seventy times seven)
I will rescue him, I will rescue him
No matter what the cost is, when he walks in
Time and time again, time again
I give my forgiveness (seventy times seven)

1, 2, 3, 4, 5 I'm on your side
My patience won't tire with you
5, 6, 7 baby up to heaven
I'll never be tired of you

The see my silence, see my restraint, uh
They think I'm crazy for waiting
For the sun to rise without an end
They only see his unfaithfulness
But I have golden eyes on my man
I see his soul battle the sin
They think I'm wasting my time
Making a home in this calamity
But I can't let go

(?) the song you sing
I don't care if you aren't deserving
'Cause I know that your heart is hurting
But no one can ever help the way I feel

In the dark of the heart is a martyr
Makin' it da di go don don
In the dark of the heart is a martyr
Makin' it [ad-libing]
