Don't try, fall on your sweetheart
The one who wears your wedding ring
Keep in mind the vows you made her
Should mean more than anything
And a minute's stolen pleasure may
break both your hearts in two
Don't trifle on your sweetheart or
she may start cheatin' too
Take the word of one who knows
just what a triflin' life will do
Or you'll be like the wind that blows,
And you won't care just why or who.
The minute that you trifle,
You can never be the same.
Don't trifle on your sweetheart,
Cause you can't live down the
Don't try, fall on your sweet
She's the one who wears your brand
And the flappers who may chase you
Ain't the measure of a man
It's the things you do that matter
Not the things you think you do
Don't trifle on your sweetheart
Or she may start cheatin' too
Take the word of one who knows
Of one who's been a triflin' man
You'll end up like a faded rose
In some back alley garbage can
Don't trifle on your sweetheart
You'll be sorry if you do
If you trifle on your sweetheart
She's got the right to trifle, too
