I Hold No Grudge - Nina Simone

I hold no grudge

There’s no resentment und’neath

I’ll extend the laurel wreath and we’ll be friends

But right there is where it ends

I hold no grudge

And I’ll forgive you your mistake

But forgive me if I take it all to heart

And make sure that it doesn’t start again

Yes I’m the kind of people

You can step on for a little while

But when I call it quits

Baby that’s it

I’m the kind of people

You can hurt once in a while

But crawling just ain’t my style

I hold no grudge

Deep inside me there’s no regrets

But a gal who’s been forgotten may forgive
