And you said you'd never leave me
And you said you'd be my only one
I said you'd never grieve me, baby
For things you 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
But now I find that you were counting sheep, counting sheep
And then I try to court your feelings
I caught your eye and then you caught my cheek

All the things must come to fruit now
And there you stood so proud the apple of my eyes
You said you'd never leave me, baby
But little girl, that's the reason why

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

Let's go collect our prize now
So entertaining, we were number one, number one
The judge is hypnotized now
But after all we both been fooled for so damn long

So face the crowd and take a bow now, bow now
'Cause one more time and it will all be done
'Cause I must be the show to you now, baby
My next performance has just begun

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

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

Oh, stop and think for a minute, baby
As they bring the curtain down
Another drink then another, maybe
The toast might not make rounds

I taught you style, the duck and the weaving
We were famous for
And here's to him and here's to yours
And you can take the floor, the floor

Woh, woh, that's why I have to leave you all alone
Woh, woh, 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
I don't know, so you turned around and found another fool
I don't know, so you turned around and found another
