When I loved you I was foolish and I knew it Being true was something you could not retain After all the times I told myself don't do it Like a moth I fall into your burning flame Oh the next time I tell me something I'm gonna listen to me Especially when I tell myself and self agrees Both me and myself oughta be strung up in a hanging tree The next time I tell me something I'm gonna listen to me Knowing all the time that someday you would leave me This ole crazy heart of mine kept hanging on You've done everything to hurt me and deceive me Lucky me you found another now you're gone Oh the next time I tell me something I'm gonna listen to me Especially when I tell myself and self agrees Both me and myself oughta be strung up in a hanging tree The next time I tell me something I'm gonna listen to me Oh the next time I tell me something I'm gonna listen to me
