Don't deceive, don't deceive me
Don't deceive me, dear
I'll travel for miles away
Don't leave me here

You said you would go
And you wouldn't be long
I walked the floor both night and day
Something's goin' on wrong

Well, I'm goin' crazy
And your love ain't right
I tossed and turned when I'm pooped
Can't sleep at night

Now, listen, mama
To what I say
You're down the road, dear
Oh, but you don't stay

Come on back home
Try it one more time
Let's talk it over
Or I'll lose my mind

Well, I try so hard
To understand you, dear
You don't hear a word I say
Don't see me, dear

Well, I tried real hard
Tried to do it right
We'll keep each other warm
Through the winter nights

Now, listen, mama
To what I say
You're down the road, dear
Oh, but you don't stay

Come on back home
Try it one more time
Let's talk it over
Or I'll lose my mind

Don't deceive, don't deceive me
Don't deceive me, dear
I'll travel for miles away
Don't leave me here

Don't deceive, don't deceive me
Don't deceive me, dear
I'll travel for miles away
Don't leave me here
