VERSE 01: I always wanted to believe you,/ I gave you ev'ry chance to be true,/ But you always strayed,/ While I always paid,/ With a heart full of longing for you,/ You've always won my sympathy,/ But this is the last time you'll come back to me:
CHORUS: After you've fooled me, so many times,/ How can I believe you now,/ It's not the first time I've loved you in vain,/ How do I know that you won't leave me again,/ You've always played a wonderful part,/ Right from the start you'll allow,/ You come back for the kisses/ That I'm denying/ You want them for a while and then leave me crying,/ After you've fooled me so many times,/ How can I believe you now.
VERSE 02: Somehow you've always seemed to sorry,/ when you said you'd want me again,/ Tho' you acted strange/ I hoped you would change,/ But each chance I gave you was in vain,/ I've warned you so often before,/ That there'd come a day I'd play the fool no more.
