I only wanted to play I thought what he didn't know wouldn't hurt him anyway But he found out and someone else gave him her hand to hold And suddenly I find myself out in the cold He trusted me all the time I thought I could see another man and he would still be mine Well yesterday I had a good thing worth more than gold Today he's got a truer love and I'm out in the cold I had a love warmer than fire But I listened to my desire Now yesterday's dreams are tomorrow's heart aches I'm payin' for my mistakes Now girl, take a tip from one who knows If you open up a new door, you may find the old one's closed So be true to your good man Take a lesson from the story I have told Or you just might get-a left now out in the cold You just might get-a left now out in the cold Don't let yourself get left now out in the cold Don't let yourself get left now out in the cold
