I've got a story that I wanna tell you
 I've got a story about a boy I know
 Who gave all his love to a girl I know
 & said that she wouldn't have to worry
 No more (no more) no more (no more)

 Now he was so faithful (faithful)
 Really faithful to his love you see ee
 But she was so ungrateful
 When she took his love & went out every night
 With some other guy; she knew that wasn't right
 Now she's sorry
 But it's too late, oh it's much too late (too late)

 (x2):
 When he left her she cried
 Tears fell from her eyes
 Had she known she loved him so
 She never would have let him go
 Now it was me (me)
 It was me who lost a real true lover
 So you see
 If you've got a love that's really true to you
 From my story, you know just what to do
 You'd better love him or treat him good or treat him right

 Hold him tight, talk to him right, all day & night
 ...& fade
