The king of hearts has won the final inning
He's made his move and played his hand so well
Everyone thinks he's got it made
'Cause no one can tie him down
Everybody says he was a damn fool
For givin' me the run-around
All he did was tell me lies to try to woo me
Yes, after all his talk I guess he won the prize
Never meant to stay, how could he do it to me?
Everybody says I was a damn fool
To listen to his run-around
Now I was tryin' to act just like a lady
I turned him down, then he took me by surprise
Now who would have thought that a girl like me
Could be swayed so easily?
Everybody says I was a damn fool
'Cause I gave what he took for free
All he did was tell me lies to try to woo me
Oh, after all his talk I guess he won the prize
He never meant to stay, how could be do it to me?
Everybody says I was a damn fool
To listen to his run-around
Now the king of hearts can't play his games forever
And the jester's not the fool when the king is old
Oh, later on will he think of me
When his castle walls get cold?
Will he care to call?
Will he care at all?
All he did was tell me lies to try to woo me
Oh, all he did was tell me lies to try to woo me
Yeah, all he did was tell me lies to try to woo me
Oh, all he did was tell me lies to try to woo me
I said, all he did was tell me lies to try to woo me
Oh, all he did was tell me lies to try to woo me
