Once Too Often

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 do

I can do, too

Once too often

I'll 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 fancy 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 heart 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 heart the business

Once too often
