[Verse]
You're late again tonight and I know the reason why
You're out with someone else while I sit home and cry
But I'll just wait right here for you cause I know your new love won't last
I wound easy but I heal fast
This isn't the first time your heart has gone a'stray
You have no resistance when temptation comes your way
But I'll forgive you this time like I've always done in the past
I wound easy but I heal fast

[Chorus]
You know that I love you more than anything
And you know that I'll forgive you for causing me this pain
Oh, tonight my heart is breaking but I know this hurt won't last
I wound easy but I heal fast

[Outro]
Yes tonight my heart is breaking but I know this hurt won't last
I wound easy but I heal fast

Dolly Parton

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, author, and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music

Beginning her career as a child performer, Parton issued a few modestly successful singles from 1959 through the mid-1960s, showcasing her distinctive soprano voice. She came to greater prominence in 1967 as a featured performer on singer Porter Wagoner’s weekly television program; their first duet single, a cover of Tom Paxton’s “The Last Thing on My Mind”, was a top-ten hit on the country singles charts, and led to several successful albums before they ended their partnership in 1974. Moving towards mainstream pop music, Parton’s 1977 single “Here You Come Again” was a success on both the country and pop charts. A string of pop-country hits followed into the mid-1980s, the most successful being her 1981 hit 9 to 5" (from the film of the same name), and her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”, both of which topped the U.S. pop and country singles charts. A pair of albums recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were among her later successes. In the late 1990s, Parton returned to classic country/bluegrass with a series of acclaimed recordings
