His letter came this morning C.O.D.   Says he?s found somebody who reminds him of me   He says he needs some space that might be the case   He wasn?t even man enough to tell me to my face      I got the rompin?, stompin?   Bad news blues      He stole my money, he stole my time   When he stole my heart, honey, he really crossed that line   A major felony send out an A.P.B.   Go tell that thief of hearts to bring it on back to me      I got the rompin?, stompin?   Bad news blues      Well, come tonight I?m steppin? out   Gonna sing and dance, gonna shake and shout   Forget about ol? what?s his name   You know two can play this game      Whatever it takes to lose   These rompin?, stompin?   Bad news blues      Well, men are full of trouble   Girl, that ain?t nothin? new   We ain?t found nothin? better   And until the day we do      Sister, friend, be wise just realize   Stay away from the ones   Who?ll do you wrong   And tell you lies      They?ll give you the rompin?, stompin?   Bad news blues      That?s right      They?ll give you the rompin?, stompin?   Bad news blues
