And you said you'd never leave me
In fact you said you'd be my only one
I said you'd never grieve me baby
For things do when you are only having fun, fun.
You said you'd cry a river
I thought you meant you'd cry a river of tears
You'd rather die than live without me baby
But little girl you're so insincere
You know you count your blessings

And then I try to court your feelings

Whoa, that's why I have to leave you all alone
Whoa, that's why you have to leave me all alone

Another drink then another, maybe
The toast might not make rounds (To do so nothing rhymes?)
I chose the style, the duck and the weaving (wheel?)
We were famous for And here's to him, and here's to yours and
You can thank me for the floor (... take the floor the floor)
Whoa, that's why I have to leave you all alone
Whoa, that's why you have to leave me all alone
I don't know, so you turned around and found another fool
I don't know, so you turned around and found another
