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 [bad word] looking for me.

Say, you're a wizard when [bad word] to cryin'
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!

Once too often!
You're gonna weep but
I won't soften
No I won't
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!
