Hometown sweetheart
Huggin' round in the dark
Oh we made a move or two
I was just a young fool
Never been to night school
Didn't know enough to be cool

So she found another lover
They went undercover
The way she stole my love was a crime
In order to keep the peace
Callin' out the police
Find her 'fore I lose my mind

The woman I love done gone and left me you know
She's got a big bad record on the heartbreak radio

A complete investigation
What's the destination
Did she leave a trace at all
Book her on suspicion
Just look at my condition
She left me here to take the fall

The girl can sure nuff play rough
She ought to be in handcuffs
Make her wear a ball and chain
Oh she's just a heart stealer
Sweetest kind o' love dealer
She knows how to fix a game

The woman I love done gone and left me you know
She got a big bad record on the heartbreak radio

Lonely heart in distress
Sending out an S.O.S.
All across the U.S. of A.
Come on back and serve your time
Right here in these arms of mine
Gotta have you home today

The woman I love done gone and left me you know
She's got a big bad record on the heartbreak radio
