Rumor has it in the streets, I made a fool of you

You said I was a lowdown cheat, I swear that it's not true

They said that I was winking at this lady in the bar

But there was somethin' in my eye that made that blinkin' start

Really, I was wrong to walk this lady to her car

But I was bein' courteous, that's how musicians are

Surely, this is not the fruit to give the mockingbird

The fruit that turned your heart away and started all this herd

My poor heart's been broken ever since

Ever since the day I found your circumstantial evidence

My poor heart's been broken ever since

Ever since the day I found your circumstantial evidence

My poor heart's been broken ever since

Ever since the day I found your circumstantial evidence

My poor heart's been broken ever since

Ever since the day I found your circumstantial evidence

They told you I got in the car and kissed her on the cheek

They said that we both took a ride and stopped at Burger King

I must admit the thought occurred to have her my own way

Instead, I told her that my fries ain't goin' with that change

Maybe I was wrong to walk this lady to her car

But I was just bein' a flirt, that's how musicians are

Surely, this is not the fruit to give the mockingbird

The fruit that turned your heart away and started all this herd

My poor heart's been broken ever since

Ever since the day I found your circumstantial evidence

My poor heart's been broken ever since

Ever since the day I found your circumstantial evidence

My poor heart's been broken ever since

Ever since the day I found your circumstantial evidence

My poor heart's been broken ever since

Ever since the day I found your circumstantial evidence

She thought that she had common cold, I couldn't get away

And all the things I said and did, she had to make me pay

All my friends say, "Let her go, she's not worth all the pain"

Now she's left me standin' cold, I think I'll pack my things

Ooh, hurts so good

Hey, Mikki, get free, uh

Oh

Here we go

Nah, nah, nah, say no, no, no

Nah, nah, nah, say no, no, no

My poor heart's been broken ever since

Ever since the day I found your circumstantial evidence

My poor heart's been broken ever since

Ever since the day I found your circumstantial evidence

Uh-uh, uh-uh, looky here, baby, you know me better than that

I would never go out on you, I would never turn my back on you

And go out with another woman

And first of all, I don't even eat at Burger King, you know that

I'm a, I'm a McDonalds Man

You know I would never do anything to hurt you or embarrass you

In front of your friends, honey

Sweet thing, those were my sister's things

That you found under that seat in my car

That was my sister's stuff because I was not even in town that day, baby

And you know, as a matter of fact

It was that guy that lives up there on Fifth Street

Because people told me, he be creepin' around like me

He even got a BMW that look like mine, baby

Because, yeah, that's it, that's it, his car look just like mine

He wears his hair like me, he got on earrings and stuff

And I would never do that to you

My poor heart's been broken ever since

Ever since the day I found your circumstantial evidence

My poor heart's been broken ever since

Ever since the day I found your circumstantial evidence

Yes that's the ticket, that's the ticket right there

It wasn't me
