Once I loved you darling and it thrilled me through and through   I must admit I wanted only you   Your kisses left me restless when you said we'd never part   Your lips are sweet as honey but there's poison in your heart   [ fiddle - steel ]   The way that you two timed is a sin and it's a shame   You even said you'd like to change my name   You vowed that you'll be faithful but you lied right from the start   Your lips are sweet as honey but there's poison in your heart   [ steel - fiddle ]   Maybe I'll find that faded kind can let me love again   Then I'll forget my fickle dreams of you   It's just too bad we've never had an even-steven start   Your lips are sweet as honey but there's poison in your heart
