Blame It On Your Lying Cheating Heart (1993)
You’ve got a thing or two to learn about me baby
Cause I ain’t taking it no more and I don’t mean maybe
You don’t know right from wrong, the love we had is gone
So blame it on your lying cheating cold dead beating two timing
Double dealing mean mistreating loving heart
Well all I wanted was to be your one and only
And all I ever got from you was being lonely
Now that dream is laid to rest cause have failed the test
So blame it on your lying cheating cold dead beating two timing
Double dealing mean mistreating loving heart
Are you heading for a heartache? Oh yeah
Gonna get a bad break oh yeah
You made a bad mistake oh yeah
Well your never gonna find another love like mine
Someone’s gonna do you like you done me honey
And when she does you like you do it ain’t funny
You need some sympathy but don’t be calling me
Hey blame it on your lying cheating cold dead beating two timing
Double dealing mean mistreating loving heart
Are you heading for a heartache? Oh yeah
Gonna get a bad break oh yeah

And when she does you like you do it ain’t funny
You need some sympathy but don’t be calling me
Hey blame it on your lying cheating cold dead beating two timing
Double dealing mean mistreating loving heart
