Lyricist：Gerry Goffin, Russ Titelman
I'll be true to you, yes, I will
I'll be true to you, yes, I will
I won't look twice when the other girls go by
I'll be true to you, yes, I will
Somehow this time it's all so clear to me
The way to go is easy to see
My heart is sure you're the girl I've waited for
I'll be true to you, yes, I will, yes, I will
I used to be the kind who said that every girl's the same
And love was just a game for having
fun

But when I looked at you, I knew that I was wrong
And that I really could belong to only one
I'll be true to you, yes, I will
Every dream that you have I'll fulfill
I never promised this to any girl before
But I'll be true to you, yes, I will
I never promised this to any girl before
But I'll be true to you, yes, I will
Yes, I will, yes, I will
Yes, I will, oh yes, I will

They met upon a blue moon,
And they parted on a cloudy day
They were so in love and out of school,
But he was goin' so far, far away.
She said: "I'll be true to you,
"Even though you don't want me to.
"And I'll be blue for you,
"Even though you've asked me not to."
Well the year's drifted by them, as we all know they can.
He found other women, but she refused other men.
But as fate would have
it, they met again,
She was on a down-hill slide, and he was just slidin' in.
As he looked into her eyes that night, he didn't realize.
The only real love in his life was passin' by.
When he turned and left her there, his words: "Goodbye".
He heard her calling out to him, and as he walked, she cried:
"I've been true to you.
"Seems like speakin' to me is the least that you could do.
"And I've been blue for you,
"Even though you've asked me not to."
She'd been drinkin way too hard one night,
She'd been drinkin way too long.
Alone and pale in a cheap hotel, she died there in the dawn.
Kneelin' by the grave, oh so late and oh so wrong,
He longed to hold her close again, cryin' on and on.
He cried: "I''ll be true to you.
"After all that I have put you through.
"And I'll be blue for you,
"Though you never even asked me to."
