Verse 2 [w/intro riff]:
Last night I caught that girl
Lyin’ tryin’
To deceive me
And now all of these tears
She’s cryin’ I’m not buyin’
You better believe me
She swore that she was mine alone
Our love would never die
I’m leavin’ now for parts unknown
I saw her with that guy (saw her with that guy)
That’s the reason why (that’s the reason why)
I’ll be passin’ by (I’ll be passin’ by)
