Gather round I'm gonna tell a story
That I hope will teach a lesson to you all
I'll lay it out so there won't be a doubt
How I brought my kingdom to it's fall

Cause I've cheated on a good woman's love
I didn't know it would turn out this way
Lesson one is when you start stepping out
You gotta start learning how to pay

I paid the price by lying to the ones
That deep inside I knew I needed most
I lied and then I went and lied again
Now in my dreams I'm haunted by these ghosts

When she found out I was just about to tell her
All about the evils of my ways
But it's too late cause when I say I love her
She don't believe a single word I say
