Lyrics
- Flirtin’ with the devil
You’ll get in the deep
Water finds its level
Bitter tears you’ll weep
Chorus
You’re gonna lose your gal
You don’t know who’s your gal
Acting like a two-time lover
Keeping kisses under cover
You’ll wake up and soon discover
You’re gonna lose your gal
You’re gonna fret away
You’re bound to get that way
How can you be so conceited?
Take a heart and then mistreat it
You can’t have your cake and eat it
You’re gonna lose your gal
And when she’s gone
She won’t come back
They don’t come back
Won’t come back once they’re gone
You’re gonna be surprised
You never realized
Some one else can treat her nicer
Some one else can shoes and rice her
Some one else will paradise her
You’re gonna lose your gal
- Flowers need the sunshine
And the morning dew
I need loving sometime
So, I’m warning you
