Once I loved you darling and it thrilled me through and through

I must admit I wanted only you

Your kisses left me restless when you said we'd never part

Your lips are sweet as honey but there's poison in your heart

[ fiddle - steel ]

The way that you two timed is a sin and it's a shame

You even said you'd like to change my name

You vowed that you'll be faithful but you lied right from the start

Your lips are sweet as honey but there's poison in your heart

[ steel - fiddle ]

Maybe I'll find that faded kind can let me love again

Then I'll forget my fickle dreams of you

It's just too bad we've never had an even-steven start

Your lips are sweet as honey but there's poison in your heart
