Lyrics
Chorus
But I gave you up just before you threw me down
You’ll see a smile where you thought you’d see a frown
Don’t try to deny that you fooled me from the start
You broke each vow, and I know now
You meant to break my heart
It’s lucky for me that I beat you at your game
Or you’d have it all over town
You thought you’d laugh at me, it’s true
But I’ve got the laugh on you
‘Cause I gave you up just before you threw me down
