| I was standing in line at the city bus stop
|
| Soaked to the skin from ev’ry rain drop
|
| I see you driving by just like a phantom jet
|
| With your arm around some little brunette
|
| You say you won’t be home because you’re working late
|
| Honey, I’m no fool, you’ve been out on a date
|
| The lipstick on your collar gives the game away
|
| It’s strawberry red and mine’s pink rose
|
| Have mercy on me You treat me so bad I’m in misery
|
| It’s breaking my heart, can’t you see
|
| Baby, baby have mercy on me Well I called you up on the telephone
|
| I could hear you was playin’Haggard and Jones
|
| I knew right then that there was something wrong
|
| There’s only one reason you play cheatin’songs
|
| (Repeat Chorus)
|
| Went to the bank with my little check book
|
| The cashier he gave me the strangest look
|
| He said you ain’t got no money 'cause you’re over drawn
|
| Your man took it all and he’s done gone
|
| (Repeat Chorus) |
