Hometown sweetheart
Hung around in the dark
Only make a move or two
I was just a young fool
Never been to night school
Didn't know enough to be cool

So he found another lover
They went undercover
The way he stole my love was a crime
In order to keep the peace
Callin' out the police
Find him 'for I lose my mind

The boy I love done gone and left me alone
He's got a big bad record on the heartbreak radio

A complete investigation
What's his destination
Did he leave a trace at all
Book him on suspicion
Just look at my condition
He left me here to take the fall

That boy can surely play it rough
He oughta be in handcuffs
Make him wear a ball and chain
Oh he's just a heart stealer
Sweetest kind o' love dealer
He knows how to fix a game
