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
