It won't hurt me when you tell me we are through, yeah
Now I've found me someone just as sweet as you
He's gentle & he's kind, he won't leave me behind
So I'm not gonna cry, boy, when you say goodbye, boy
For I know somehow, somewhere, someday
You've got to pay, boy, for your cheating ways
When you feel that you must go, be on your way, yeah
For the love I had for you belongs to yesterday
You hurt me, so I know it's better if you go
Don't worry when you're gone, boy, 'cause I'll get along, boy
I'm feelin' sorry for you, you'll find out one day it's true
You've got to pay, boy, for your cheating ways
(I gave my love to you; you showed me you just won't be true, true)
After all you've said & done, it's just that I
Won't wait until you're ready, dear, to say goodbye
You walked right out that door & left me once before
Oh but this time it's something new; it's me that's leaving you
So now you're on your own, & when you're all alone
You've finally got to pay, boy, for your cheating ways
I said you've got to pay, little boy, for your cheating ways
You know that you've been wrong, you've been cheating all along
...& fade
