I'm Doing This For Your Sake

I'm Doing This For Your Sake - Dolly Parton

Someone else's arms will hold you

My darling baby girl

I'll never get to see the child

I've brought into this world

Because I made one mistake folks say that I'm bad

But they just don't understand the way

I loved your dad

Now I thought your daddy loved me

I was so sure he did

And so I gave him all my love

And he said we would wed

But I guess he must have changed his mind

Cause she left town one day

When he found out about you

He just stopped and ran away

In this home so far away from home

I leave my heart today

Cause home is where the heart is

And with you my heart will stay

Because I love you so much

Why I can't make you pay

So I'm doing this for your sake

I'm giving you away
