My honey, do you remember 'twas a December day

I said that you would repent the day that you went away

You turned as red as a ruby, much too good to be true

You thought I'd sit around lonely thinking of only you

Little you knew that



When you walked out someone else walked right in

Someone with good news

Stepped right in your shoes



Somebody else took your place on my knee

Another sweetie in clover fussin' all over me



I saw that you grew so cold, love

So what could I do?

Off with the old love

And on with the new



When you walked out

Honey I just had to grin

You left the door wide open and

Somebody else walked in

A happy couple were we two while you were sweet to me

But now I'm sending bad news to my little used to be

You thought the minute you'd shake me that it would make me blue

And I would sit around lonely thinking of only you

Little you knew that
