Just let my baby 
Try not to care
Got a mountain of misery
Just to much to bear

Her kiss like honey
So warm and sweet
Her heart deceived me
She was a cheat

Blonde hair can fool you
Blue eyes can too
Cruel lips can tell black lies
Break your heart for you

The days are lonely
Can't sleep or eat
My one and only
She was a cheat

(Instrumental Break)

Wise men will tell me
To leave was right
Wise men don't cry alone
All through the night

When I am walkin'
Down some dark street
Shadows will whisper
She was a cheat

(Instrumental Break)

Wise men will tell me
To leave was right
Wise men don't cry alone
All through the night

When I am walkin'
Down some dark street
Shadows will whisper
She was a cheat
