Verse 3:

        If you keep on tellin' me those lies
        Still goin' out with other guys
        There'll come a day I'll be gone
        Take my advice, won't be long

Verse 4:

        When that day comes, won't be mad
        Be free of you, but I'll still be sad
        In spite of your cheatin', still love you so
        I'll be unhappy if I let you go
