Oh sweet child
I hate to hurt so
I want you to believe

I tried so hard
To do the right thing
To be an honest man

But you're a fool
And i have you
Dangling on the end of my string

Oh sweet girl
I hate to let you go
And watch you fall away

Honesty
Has really let me down
Has really let me down

But you're a fool
And i have you
Dangling on the end of my string
