Dirty trick
That was a dirty
Dirty trick
That was a dirty trick

I trusted you when you said you were mine
But now I know that you've just lied
You told me one thing but did another

You slipped away with your midnight lover

Dirty trick
That was a dirty

Dirty trick

Now I know what your love's all about you're
Put in me over but I was putting out
Baby, end love that you really cared
But now I see you're just passing a bed

Dirty trick

Now I know how you really feeled
Take the...(??) put on down
You were just playing around

Dirty trick

That was treacherous

I trusted you when you said you were mine
I put faith in your supposed loyalty

But now I know that you've just lied
But now I know that your loyalty was a lie

You told me one thing but did another
You purposely deceived me

You slipped away with your midnight lover
You went behind my back with someone else

Now I know what your love's all about you're
Now I understand your true intentions

Put in me over but I was putting out
I was investing in our relationship, while you were not

Baby, end love that you really cared
I believed that you actually cared about me
