I heard you was out, high as you could be
Kissin' another fella, and you know it wasn't me
That ain't right, no no no, that ain't right
What goes on in the dark, will soon come to light
They say you whispered low, an' spendin' all of my dough
You told that fella things, you never told me before
That ain't right, no no no, that ain't right
What goes on in the dark, will soon come to light
One of these days, just you wait and see
Baby you'll realize, the way you're treating me
That ain't right, no no no, that ain't right
What goes on in the dark, will soon come to light

It was early in the mo'nin, I heard the rooster crow
for days

I know she heard me callin', she looked back and waved her
hand

I'd give anything I have, just to see my little girl

Next time you see me, things won't be the same
Yes, next time you see me, things won't be the same
And if it hurts you my darlin', you only have yourself to
blame
Like a true, true sayin', all that shines is not gold
Yes, like a true, true sayin', all that shine is not
gold
And like the good book say, you've got to reap just what you
sow
Well, you lied, cheated, uh-oh for so long
Well, you lied, cheated, uh-oh for so long
You're just the wrong darned woman, another queen is on your
throne
Next time you see me, things won't be the same
Yes, next time you see me, things won't be the same
And if it hurts you my darlin', you only have yourself to
blame

I am sitting here thinking and your thoughts make me
feel so sad
I am sitting here thinking and your thoughts make me feel so
sad
I've searched eleven long years for love, yeah, searchin'
for something I already had
When I think of what the old folks say, I can't help but
cry
When I think of what the old folks say, umm, I can't help
but cry
They have told me so often, you never miss your water, 'til
the well goes dry
From now on, I'll try and do the things I should
From now on, I'll try and do the things I should
Let's take a chance on that old sayin', it's never too late
to be good
