I said that you would repent the day that you went away
You turned as red as a ruby, much too good to be true
You thought I'd sit around lonely thinking of only you
Little you knew that

When you walked out someone else walked right in
Someone with good news
Stepped right in your shoes

Somebody else took your place on my knee
Another sweetie in clover fussin' all over me

I saw that you grew so cold, love
So what could I do?
Off with the old love
And on with the new

When you walked out
Honey I just had to grin
You left the door wide open and
Somebody else walked in

A happy couple were we two while you were sweet to me
But now I'm sending bad news to my little used to be
You thought the minute you'd shake me that it would make me blue
And I would sit around lonely thinking of only you
Little you knew that
