When she agreed to set you free I thought that I had won
But you never told me you had a little son
My world just died inside of me when I called you on the phone
And a little boy it answered said daddy's not at home

Daddy doesn't live here anymore
Mommie says he loves me b

Don't ask me to dance please Mister
I just came here to think where the lights are dim
If I seem to be rude you'll forgive me
I'm just sittin' out this last dance for him

It's a table where he used to sit beside me
And those nights I keep thinking about them
I'm just tr

(Don't cause me shame don't tempt me)

Don't tempt me I don't want a cheap affair
And you can't offer me true love cause you're not free
Please don't say love words you know I'd like to hear
Although I'm lonely don't tempt me

Yes it's true I care for you more than a friend

Fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me

You broke my heart and told me lies and everybody sympathized
With the fool who loves you so much she was blind
But when I took you back once more and you hurt me like you did before
The only sympathy I got was mine
Fool m

I know that you've been foolin' round on me right from the start
So I'll give back my ring and I'll take back my heart
And when you're tired of foolin' round with 2-0-3
Come on home and fool around with me

I wasn't foolin' round the day I said I'd do
But many a night I wish

Everybody tells me love is blind
Maybe so but I refuse to see
Everybody tells me things you do
But I don't care cause I'm a fool for you

It doesn't really matter what you are
It only matters what you are to me
Maybe I'm not wise enough to see
But where would love be

Half the time I don't think about you
And I'm so sure I've put you from my mind
Then nighttime comes with its lights so bright and gay
And I find that I still love you half the time

Every day I started like the day before
So sure that I don't love you anymore
Then night

Your fickle heart could not resist temptation
And yet I'll take you back just one more time
But I'm giving back my heart with reservation
For I reserve the right to change my mind

So many times you lied to me so sweetly
To win my trust may take a long long time
So I can

While other people sleep I can be found
Walking these dirty streets downtown
Nothing means anything to me
And I'm as lonely as anyone can be

On any corner you will find a fool in love like me
Lost and lonely souls like mine are common sights to see
And I'm as lonely as

I'd never try to hurt you the way that you've hurt me
For even if I could hurt you what good would that do me
I'll never try to break your heart though you've broke mine in two
Oh no it's not revenge I want I just want you

And if you see me out tonight don't think I'm out for s

I hold the key to your world in my hand
Do you think you could make her understand
How you could live so ragglesly cheating her and fooling me
I hold the key to your world in my hand

You took my love although you wasn't free
Just like a child you ran from her to me
Now

I've never known a heartache since the first day that we met
They said the blues would come around and someday you'd forget
I can't recall a single time I wanted to be free
Yes I'm still yours and you're still mine love's been good to me

Love was so good to me it gave me you

Many tears ago you said you'd love me
Oh how happy was this heart of mine
Then a dark cloud came from out of nowhere
And the sun went down no more to shine

Many tears ago was in the springtime
When you said goodbye and went away
Oh how well this aching heart remembers

I was the first one to love you so honey don't laugh at me
There's a mark on my finger where his ring used to be
It's true he may think he loves you but once he thought he'd love me
See this mark on my finger where his ring used to be

And when he says that he loves you you bett

You were mine for just a while now you're puttin' on the style
And you've never once looked back at your home across the track
You're the gossip of the town but my heart can still be found
Where you tossed it on the ground pick me up on your way down

Pick me up on your way down

I know you'll never love me the way I love you
And I'll always be second best it's true
But in my heart I'd rather have just part of you
Than all of someone else for there's no one else like you

I'd rather be the second one you'd love and not to know
This feeling that I get

Just dream on like he was home sleep baby sleep

The night is dark and lonely our dreames have ceased to be
Your daddy's gone and left us now there's just you and me
You're sleeping in your cradle while I'm tossing in my bed
And praying you will never learn the things your daddy

Slowly I'm falling more in love with you
Slowly you're winning a heart that can be true
Now I can't hide my feelings for it's so plain and true
Slowly I'm falling more in love with you

More and more I need you and want you by my side
More and more I love you as each day pas

We had so much in common you and me
So we told the world our love just had to be
But things have changend then we both know it's through
Now we don't have much in common me and you

You never love me like you used to do
And the loneliness just keeps on showing through
Th

What a pleasure life have been just loving you

All the years I spent without you were just wasted now I see
Many times I've cried when dreams felt to come true
Then a new day dawn had brought me happiness and peace of mind
What a pleasure life have been just loving you
