lyrics

★ CAN'T STAY MAD ★

CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU
NO I CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU FOR LONG

MAKE ME A PROMISE STAYS UNBROKEN
LITTLE WHITE LIES REMAIN UNSPOKEN
HEARD IT SAID THEN COME TO FIND
LOVE YEAH LOVE IS REALLY BLIND

'CAUSE I CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU
THO' YOU TREAT ME BAD AND DO ME WRONG
NO I CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU
I CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU FOR LONG

SHOW ME A DREAM I CAN CLING TO
FAIRY TALES THEY DON'T RING TRUE
MAYBE I READ THEN COMES TO MIND
LOVE YEAH LOVE IS TRULY BLIND

'CAUSE I CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU
THO' YOU TREAT ME BAD AND YOU DO ME WRONG
I CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU
I CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU FOR LONG

COULDN'T DO TO YOU THE THINGS YOU DO TO ME
IN TIME I HOPE YOU'LL KNOW-OH
HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU SO-OH

'CAUSE I CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU
THO' YOU TREAT ME BAD AND YOU DO ME WRONG
NO I CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU
I CAN'T STAY MAD
NO I CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU
THO' YOU TREAT ME BAD YEAH YOU DO ME WRONG
NO I CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU
CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU
CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU FOR VERY LONG

COULDN'T DO TO YOU THE THINGS YOU DO TO ME
IN TIME I HOPE YOU'LL KNOW-OH
HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU SO-OH
'CAUSE I CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU FOR VERY LONG
