You should go and hang your head in shame, the way you tried to ruin my name
You even tried to put the blame on me when all along twas you
Who was breaking every sacred vow, you didn't worry where or how
I hope that you are paying for the way you left me crying here alone and blue
With your fast talk and your smile so sweet I let you sweep me off my feet
I thought my life would be complete to have you for my very own
Like a sailboat with no wind around I had no power to turn you down
You had your way with me till you grew tired and went your way and left me here alone
What a shame the way you made me fall I gave my heart my soul and all
In answer to your lovesick call in home someday you'll be my wife
But the only thing you gave to me was bitter tears and misery
I may be wrong but seems to me that you should pay for all what you've done
Cause you have ruined my life
