Rumor has it in the streets I made a fool of you
You said that I'm a lowdown cheat
I swear that is not true
You said that I was winking at this lady in the bar
But there is something in my eyes that made that blinking start
Ah, really I was wrong to walk that lady to her car
But I was being courteous
That's how musicians are
Surely this is not the fruit to give to the mockingbird
The fruit that turned your heart away and started all this herd
My poor heart has been broken ever since
Ever since the day I found your circumstantial evidence
My poor heart has been broken ever since
Ever since the day I found your circumstantial evidence
My poor heart has been broken ever since
Ever since the day I found your circumstantial evidence
My poor heart has been broken ever since
Ever since the day I found your circumstantial evidence
They told you I went in car and kissed her on the cheek
You said that we both took a ride and stopped at Burger King
I must admit a thought of her to have it my own way
Instead I told her that my fries ain't going with that change
Maybe I was wrong to walk that lady to her car
But I was being courteous
That's how musicians are
Surely this is not the fruit to give to the mockingbird
The fruit that turned your heart away and started all this herd
My poor heart has been broken ever since
Ever since the day I found your circumstantial evidence
My poor heart has been broken ever since
Ever since the day I found your circumstantial evidence
My poor heart has been broken ever since
Ever since the day I found your circumstantial evidence
My poor heart has been broken ever since
Ever since the day I found your circumstantial evidence
She thought that she had common cold
I couldn't get away
And all the things I said and do, she had to make me pay
All my friends said, "Let her go."
She's not what all to bang
Now she left me standing cold
I think I pay my thangs
Oooh, hurts s-s-s-so good
Hey Micki, get free. Uh!
Ohhh, ohhh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhh
Here we go
Naw, naw, naw, say no, no, no-o
Da, da
Naw, naw, naw, say no, no, no-o
My poor heart has been broken ever since
Ever since the day I found your circumstantial evidence
My poor heart has been broken ever since
Ever since the day I found your circumstantial evidence
Uh-uh, uh-uh, look-a-here, baby, you know me better than that
I will never walk out on you
I will never turn my back on you and caught you with another woman
First of all, I didn't eat at Burger King, you know that
I'm a McDonald's man
You know I would never do anything to hurt you or embarrass you in front of your friends, honey
And plus that was my sister's stuff that you found under the seat of my car the other day
That was my sister's stuff because I was not even in town that day and you know
As a matter of fact, it was that guy that lives up there on 5th Street because people told me that he was creepin' around like me
He didn't even have a BMW that looked like mine, baby, because...
Yeah, that's it! That's it! His car looked just like mine
He wears his hair like me, had all his earrings and stuff and I would never do that to you
Yessss, that's the ticket. That's the ticket right there, you and me
