When your kisses turn from wine to water
The fire in your eyes lose their glow
When your phone rings without answer
All your friend say they don’t know
I get that old familiar feeling
You’ve been cheating on me again
That I’m left dangling on a string
In case it don’t work out with them
I’ve been down this road before
And know where the heartaches lie in wait
That you’ll come running back
When you’ve realised your mistake
Each time I say it will be different
That when your cheating days are through
I’ll have found someone else
To take the place of you
But I’m just fooling myself
Because I know it isn’t true
I’ll still be at your beck and call
When the red rose turns to blue
Its happened so many times before
I should be used to it by now
Know all the warning signs
Because I’ve been down this road before
