Hometown sweetheart, huggin' round in the dark
Oh, we made a move or two
I was just a young fool, never been to night school
Didn't know enough to be cool
So she found another lover, they went undercover
The way she stole my love was a crime
In order to keep the peace, callin' out the police
Find her 'fore I lose my mind
The woman I love
Done gone and left me you know
She's got a big bad record
On the heartbreak radio
A complete investigation, what's the destination
Did she leave a trace at all
Book her on suspicion, just look at my condition
She left me here to take the fall
The girl can sure 'nuff play rough, she ought to be in handcuffs
Make her wear a ball and chain
Oh, she's just a heart stealer, sweetest kind o' love dealer
She knows how to fix a game
The woman I love
Done gone and left me you know
She got a big bad record
On the heartbreak radio
Lonely heart in distress, sending out an S.O.S.
All across the U.S. of A.
Come on back and serve your time, right here in these arms of mine
Gotta have you home today
The woman I love
Done gone and left me you know
She's got a big bad record
On the heartbreak radio
Hometown sweetheart, huggin' round in the dark
