(Gene Wilson)

Don't scorn me if I slip around on you
Don't hate me if I fancy someone new
Don't blame me if my love just can't be true
It's the tricks of the trade I've learn from you.

How many nights have I cried over you
And how many time has your love been untrue
So don't blame me if I cheat'n lie to you
It's the tricks of the trade I've learned from you.

--- Instrumental ---

Don't cry dear if I come in at three
And don't forget dear you did the same things to me
Don't blame me if your tears I fail to see
It's just the tricks of the trade you taught to me.

How many nights have I cried over you
And how many time has your love been untrue
So don't blame me if I cheat'n lie to you
It's the tricks of the trade I've learned from you...
