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 But never once forget
