Oh, well, I finally heard the news just a short time ago
That you've been fooling around on me, honey, and it sure hurt me so
Now, I couldn't believe my ears, yet it just broke me down in tears
Cause everybody knew but me
You know, they laughed at me when I said that you were the best
Cause all the time they knew that you was just like the rest
Now, it really made me so, but what even hurted me more
Was the fact that you were the best
Cause everybody knew but me
Now, I treated you nice
I treated you kind
You asked me to trust you
And I said I would
Now, we've been together
For such a long, long time
And after all this time
I come to find out
You ain't no good
Because you told me
That you loved me
And me all along
Yet all the time
You knew that you were just
Doing me wrong
They said I've been a fool, darling
How could you be so wrong?
You were so untrue
And everybody knew it
But the fool, I really love you, darling
Everybody knew it
But me
But me
