Ooh, let me tell ya
Now I've been deceived to the highest degree
She made a mockery of me
But she don't know the meaning of pain
It's just a word that rhymes with gain
But in time she will learn
When you play with fire you get burned
And she deceived me
Pack up and leave me
Mmm, then she carried right on
As if nothin' was wrong
But when she deceived me
Decided to leave me
She traded in her gold, for a dime
So now she's there, with some stranger in bed
Right where I once laid my head
With her big eyes and her hand down his pants
Ha ha, she's diggin' his grave, he aint got a chance
But in time he will learn
When you play with fire you get burned
And she'll deceive you, pack up and leave you
And then she'll carry right on as if nothin' is wrong
But when she deceives you, then you'll believe me
She does this kinda thing, all the time
Somewhere in her life, she was deserted
It sure scarred her life
But deep inside she's still hurtin'
She's cryin' out for love, I understand
Ooh yeah, when she cut me deep
Right down to the bone
I had to heal and walk alone
It took me years but I learned
When you play with fire you get burned
And she deceived me, pack up and leave me
Then she carried right on as if nothin' was wrong
But when she deceived me, decided to leave me
She traded in her gold, for a dime
Yeah she traded in her gold, for a dime
She traded in her gold, for a dime
