Well, I knew she belonged To someone else at the time But lonely look in women Are a weakness of mine. So I bought all she said about the love He never gave her And figured I just love her some And do us both a favor. Just as I got up to leave He walked through the door And I guess I thought he'd be surprised But he looked at me as if to say He's been there before And he offered me these words to the wise. He said, you know she's a cheater son But you believe that you're the one Who's got a lot of what it takes to change her And I know now that you can't get her You ain't much but that don't matter Nothing suits her better than a stranger. And the stranger man the better And the chances are she'll set her Eyes on you the next time she goes slummin' So you sit back and wait your turn, boy You got lots of times to learn, boy Cool it while you can, your time's comin'. Well, it happens that in time It happened just like he said And soon enough her shoes Were settin' under my bed. And I'll confess I did my best To prove that man had lied But nothing short of suicide Could keep her satisfied. So buddy, losing her to you Was just a matter of time And it's her time for finding something new Nothing I can say is gonna Make you change your mind So I'll just give the same advice to you. You know she's a cheater son But you believe that you're the one Who's got a lot of what it takes to change her And I know now that you can't get her You ain't much but that don't matter Nothing suits her better than a stranger. And the stranger man the better And the chances are she'll set her Eyes on you the next time she goes slummin' So you sit back and wait your turn, boy You got lots of times to learn, boy Cool it while you can, your time's comin'. I said cool it while you can 'Cause your time's comin'...
