Goodbye romance can't take a chance
On love's painful games
I've called too many times on a sweetheart tree

Lady lost now I count the cost
Nothing seems to change
I've called too many times on the sweetheart tree

Too many times
Ooh love you made a fool out of me
You won again
So lovin' set me free

I need some time to change my mind
Before I try again
I've been too many times to the sweetheart tree

Some go some then lay in tow
But love just don't come free
I've called too many names on the sweetheart tree

Too many times
Ooh love you made a fool out of me
You won again
So lovin' set me free

(lead)

Too many times
Ooh love you made a fool out of me
You won again
So lovin' set me free

Goodbye romance can't take a chance
On love's painful games
I've called too many names on the sweetheart tree
