A true love story is hard to find
Can't get no rest, got no peace of mind
You say you gave your heart to me
You put me down you set me free

You said you're deadly, everybody said you was deadly
I guess you know he is because, deadly
Comes in every shape and size, deadly
Always takes you by surprise

You said you was the only one
Coming on me and ruining my fun
Leave me setting at home all alone
Waitin' on your call by the telephone

You said you're deadly, everybody said you was deadly
Guess you know you always was deadly
Comes in every shape and size, deadly
Finally made me realize

That I tried and tried, but you just can't get enough
So you lied and lied and lied and lied
I will not be denied, I'm gonna plant a seed
I will not be denied, of the man and the love I need

Said you're deadly, everybody said you was deadly
Guess you know you are because, deadly
Comes in every shape and size, deadly
Always takes you by surprise
