We are saying goodbye, dear, forever
I am leaving your false love behind
Every promise you made has been broken
You're no longer a sweetheart of mine

I wanted someone true and faithful
And that is the way it had to be
You wanted your honky-tonk life, dear
You're no longer a sweetheart to me

Go back to the bar down the street, dear
And stay with your honky-tonk kind
Go back to the life you've been living
You're no longer a sweetheart of mine

From a bottle to a ride in the moonlight
In the arms of the first man you see
Another victim added to your list, dear
You're no longer a sweetheart to me

I could never pretend to be happy
Until a true love I have found
But you lived a lie from the start, dear
You're no longer a sweetheart of mine

Go back to the bar down the street, dear
And stay with your honky-tonk kind
Go back to the life you've been living
You're no longer a sweetheart of mine
