[00:11.00]Order in the court do you swear to tell the truth
[00:13.25]The whole truth and nothing but the truth so help you God
[00:16.23]Yes I do Judge I don't believe in divorces unless they just have to be
[00:23.91]But after you have heard my story I know you'll set this man free
[00:29.42]It began right after the wedding she cheated and she lied from the start
[00:34.91]And I could see from the way they were headed
[00:37.69]This woman would soon break his heart

[00:51.30]The three of us were always the best of friends
[00:54.99]And when I leave this courtroom Judge I know our friendship ends
[00:59.99]If you could have heard the awful things that I've heard her say
[01:03.92]She'd slapped his face she celled his name and he'd just turn away
[01:09.63]And the nights we went out for fun it was all so plain to see
[01:15.94]She would dance all night with someone else and she'd leave him there with me
[01:21.44]Set him free set him free for I love him you see

[01:31.72]Now I ask you Judge to understand think it over slow
[01:37.40]You see I fell in love with him and I don't care who knows
[01:42.85]I would respect him as a husband and I would treat him like a man
[01:47.41]I know I can help him find more happiness than this woman ever can
[01:52.41]Now Judge you've heard my story it's true as it can be
[01:56.97]I even told you that I love him so Judge won't you please set him free
[02:03.29]Set him free set him free for I love him you see (set him free)
