(George Jones - Bernard Spurlock)
George Jones & Melba Montgomery

You cheated on me (you cheated on me)
I tried to be fair (I tried to be fair)
But you don't believe enduring your share
But I've learned my lesson (I've learned my lesson)
And now I can say (and now I can say)
The flame in my heart is dying away. (is dying away.)

Your kisses don't thrill me like they used to do
Your arms only chill me I'm glad that we're through
My heart was once yearning (my heart was once yearning)
But now I can say (but now I can say)
The flame in my heart is dying away, is dying away.

--- Instrumental ---

You fool me a while (you fool me a while)
You thought you were wise (you thought you were wise)
You even believed I fell for your lies
But the trick's turned on you (the trick's turned you)
Now gladly I say (now gladly I say)
The flame in my heart is dying away, is dying away.

Your kisses don't thrill me like they used to do
Your arms only chill me I'm glad that we're through
My heart was once yearning (my heart was once yearning)
But now I can say (but now I can say)
The flame in my heart is dying away, is dying away...
