You know you don't love me, I wanna know why you're trying to keep telling me lies 
I know you don't love me, I don't understand why you keep telling me these lies 
Oh, but I'm gonna get wise, baby, you know I'm gonna wake up to all your lies 
I've been a fool one day, but I ain't gonna be a fool all the time 
I've been your fool, baby, but I ain't gonna be your fool all the time 
I know you've been running around, oh, you've been drinking whiskey, beer and wine, 
you've been staying out at night with your men 
But someday, baby, oh, I ain't gonna put up with your low-down dirty way 
Oh, someday, baby, you know I ain't gonna put up with your low-down dirty way 
I'm gonna walk here leaving, I'm gonna find me some other place 
I know you thank your smile, you think, I fall on all your evil lies 
Oh, I know you thank your smile, you think, I fall on all your low-down stories 
When I told you I'm gonna get hip, baby, I ain't gonna let nobody up check my play 
It's bye, bye baby, it's bye, bye, if you wanna call me at home 
While if you wanna hear to me, you might well find you another home
