I had a man, but I was a fool

Cause I didn't play it cool

And I don't want charity in the name of love

 

He was pretty and innocent

He thought we both had love from heaven sent

I don't need charity in the name of love

 

Cause in my soul I knew for sure

My love wasn't strong and his heart was pure

I just wanted to get away But I - I didn't know what to say

 

Now he's gone, he said goodbye

He found another, prettier than I

And you won't want charity in the name of love

 

That's the reward for being kind

When you finally love him a new love he'll find

Then you're left with a broken heart

Rejected, torn apart

Now he's gone, he said goodbye

He found another, prettier than I

And I dont need charity in the name of love
