Once too often
You're gonna step out once too often
I'm gettin' mighty sick and tired of totin' a torch for you!
So just be careful, brother
I too can find another!
Remember, anything that you can do I can do too!
Once too often
I get the go-by once too often
And then you'll have to change your tune and sing in a different key!
That line that you've been usin'
Will cease to be amusin'
It's gonna boomerang when you come lookin' for me!
Say, you're a wizard when it comes to cryin'?
A master in the art of alibi-in'!
Go on and do your tall and fanct lyin'!
Baby, but you will say you're sorry
Once too often
You're gonna weep but I won't soften!
You're gonna whimper like a pup the day I catch up with you!
Step out, go on and show off
Some night the lid will blow off!
You're gonna give my heaert the business once too often!
Once too often
You're gonna weep but I won't soften, no I won't!
You're gonna whimper like a pup the day I catch up with you!
Step out, go on and show off,
Some night the lid will blow off!
You're gonna give my heaert the business once too often!
