Lyrics

You know it’s a sin to tell a lie
Well, it’s a bigger sin to make somebody cry

Chorus
You should have told me there was somebody else
Somebody else in your heart
You should have told me we could only be friends
I should have known from the start
You know the saying, it’s old but it’s true
“Do unto others as you would have them do to you”
So, you should have told me there was somebody else
Somebody else in your heart
