You'd better love him long Or let him be If you hurt him You'll answer to me Your reputation Follows you to town The hearts you have broken Are scattered all around In just a few days You and your smooth ways Stole the only love I ever had You'd better love him long Or let him be If you hurt him You'll answer to me The sound of you sweet tone Stole his love away You've got him believing Everything you say Oh yes you can take him But if you forsake him You'll regret the day That you were born You'd better love him long Or let him be If you hurt him You'll answer to me
