THERE'S ANOTHER DIAMOND RING
AND-A ALL THOSE LATE NIGHT PROMISES
I GUESS THEY DON'T MEAN A THING

WHEN YA DON'T LOOK BACK
I GUESS THE FEELIN'S START TO FADE AWAY

BUT NOW IT'S COLD INSIDE
AN' YOU'RE BACK ON THE STREET
LIKE YOU DIDN'T MISS A BEAT YEAH

GIRL BEFORE I MET YOU I WAS F.I.N.E. - FINE
BUT YOUR LOVE MADE ME A PRISONER
YEAH MY HEART'S BEEN DOIN' TIME

A-THEN YA A-HUNG ME OUT TO DRY
IT WAS EASY TA KEEP ALL YOUR LIES IN DISGUISE
'CAUSE YA HAD ME DEEP WITH THE DEVIL IN YOUR EYES
