Last night
I got a phone call
from my honeybee
She said, oh George, my darlin',
won't you listen to me
I've gotta break the date
that we had tonight
I've suddenly caught the measles
and my face looks a sigh
You'd better not come over,
cause you'll get them too
I've got to hang up now,
remember I love you."
She lied and lied and lied and lied and cried and cried and cried and
cried and tried and tried and tried and tried to make a fool of me.
But I was at the window
when I saw her holdin' tight
So I know my baby lied to
me
I got up and put my coat on
and hurried over to see
Whether or not my sugar
babe was lying to me
I looked in at the window
and I got a big surprise
She didn't have the measles,
there's no spots before my eyes
I looked a little closer and
then I could see
There was another man
my baby lied to me
She lied and lied and lied and lied
And cried and cried and cried and cried
And tried and tried and tried and tried
To make a fool of me
But I was at the window
When I saw her hold him tight
So I know my baby lied to
me
She's been breakin' dates and
sayin' that she was mighty sick
But now I know the truth,
it was a mean, mean trick
So now I'll never trust her
further than I can see
Cause she's done proved
that she don't give a hoot about me
All she ever wants to do
is go out on a spree
But now she'll find it different
since she lied to me
She lied and lied and lied and lied and
cried and cried and cried and cried
And tried and tried and tried and
tried to make a fool of me
But I was at the window
when I saw her hold him tight
So I know my baby lied to me
I know my baby lied to me
