Oh, the love you promised would be mine forever
|
I would have bet my bottom dollar on
|
Well, it sure turned out to be a short forever
|
Just once I turned my back and you were gone
|
|
From now on all my friends are gonna be strangers
|
I'm all through ever trusting anyone
|
the only thing I can count on now is my fingers
|
I was a fool believing in you, now you are gone
|
|
It amazes me, not knowing any better
|
than to think I had a love who would be true
|
Why, I should be taken out, tarred and feathered
|
to have let myself be taken in by you
|
