  I realize how difficult it is for you to take me as I am

 And knowin' that you're not the first to love me makes the difference in a man

 But I feel no shame or guilty conscience knowing the way my moral stand

 But my one big mistake in life is lettin’ down my strength

 Just to satisfy the weakness in a man

 So here I am now you're all of my yester days

 Just take my hand if you can't see yourself with me

 I know my past must hurt you but baby I do the best I can

 To live with things I did before without a wedding ring upon my hand

 Oh you know it seems so funny that the story should end as it began

 But my one big mistake in life was lettin’ down my strength

 Just to satisfy the weakness in a man

 So here I am now you're all of my yester days

Just F take my hand G if you can't see yourself with D me

I C know my past must hurt you but baby I do the best I D can

To G live with things I did before without a wedding ring upon my C hand

Oh you know it seems so funny that the story should end as it D began

But my G one big mistake in life was lettin’ down my strength

Just to satisfy the weakness in a C man
