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 boomarang When you come looking for me.
Say, you're a wizard when it comes to cryin' A master in the art of "alibi-ing" 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 out and show off. Some night, the lid will blow off You're gonna give my heart the business Once too often!
