Well I confess that trouble
But now I'm ready to escape
But from now on I'm going straight
Gonna mend my crooked ways
I've got too much to lose
I've had my share of the blues
Knowing that it was a lie
Like a thief in the night
I got so lonely without you
My cheatin' days are over
I swear I'm goin' straight
Gonna mend my crooked ways
I've got too much to lose
I've had my share of the blues
I'm going straight back to you
I told the boys down at the pool hall
Cause darling being here with you
don't admit my crooked ways
I've got too much to lose,
I've had my share of the blues
I'm going straight back to you
I'm going straight back to you
