Once i held you in my arms
And you thrilled me with your charm
But i knew you were only teasing me
And you said that you'd be true
But i knew just what you'd do
You'd break my heart
And then you'd say we're through
Sweetheart you even said
You'd rather be dead
Than for me to be far away
Now it's coming home to you
And i know that you'll be blue
Cause you knew you were only teasing me
Each mistake dear that you've made
Leaves a debt that must be paid
That can't be done with just an i
But you must pay with your heart
Pay in full and not in part
You can't know happiness until you do
