Text: Nina Simone. I Hold No Grudge.

I hold no grudge
There's no resentment underneath
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
And deep inside me there's no regrets
But a gal who's been forgotten may forgive
But never once forget
