My daddy told me a long time ago Never take candy from a stranger I should've thought about that when I met you I should've run away from the danger Oh, but like a child, I believed what you said I let your lies run dreams through my head I let you have what you wanted, and now you're gone And you left me cussin' and a-cryin' and a-carryin' on 'Bout the way you hurt me 'Bout my bad mistakes Well, I guess I have to keep on carryin' on, 'til they carry me on when I'm dead from heartaches You moved right in and took me Course, you knew I was impressed All the time I thought you loved me, yes I did Now I know I was just another contest But I'm walking the floor, thinking about you now Wondering how I'm gonna make it without you I've been a poor, poor poor poor fool, to let you do me wrong To let you leave me cussin' and a-cryin' and a-carryin' on 'Bout the way you hurt me And 'bout my bad mistakes Well, I guess I have to keep on carryin' on, 'til they carry me on when I'm dead from heartaches Mark my word, you gonna pay the price You gonna meet somebody, someday, somewhere, that's gonna make you think twice You gonna meet yourself somebody that's gonna turn you on She'll leave you cussin' and cryin' and a carryin' on 'Bout the way she hurt you 'Bout your bad mistakes Well, I guess you have to keep on carryin' on, 'til they carry you on when you're dead from heartaches 'Bout the way you hurt me! And 'bout my bad mistakes! Well, I guess I have to keep on carryin' on, 'til they carry me on when I'm dead from heartaches
