Ay Ay Ay

You taught me, sweetheart, everything not to do
And you played with my love until you lost me
You awakened an illusion and I let it grow
That's not how you treat a woman

Ay, ay-ay-ay, how could you? (how could you?)
Ay, ay-ay-ay, loving me so wrong
Ay, ay-ay-ay, you missed out (you missed out)
Ay, ay-ay-ay, don't come back

And to think my friends told me: Don't defend him anymore
Now how do I explain to them that deep down they were right?
I can't stand you telling a version that you don't know is true
If I spoke, you'd leave the country (the country)

Ay, ay-ay-ay, how could you? (how could you?)
Ay, ay-ay-ay, loving me so wrong
Ay, ay-ay-ay, you missed out (you missed out)
Ay, ay-ay-ay, don't come back

I heard around that you like to talk about me
But this is my song and my word
How do you manage to tell a version that you know isn't true?
If I spoke, you'd leave the country

Ay, ay-ay-ay, how could you?
Ay, ay-ay-ay, loving me so wrong (my friends told me)
Ay, ay-ay-ay, you missed out (you missed out)
Ay, ay-ay-ay, don't come back (don't come see me)

Ay, ay-ay-ay, how could you? (how could you?)
Ay, ay-ay-ay, loving me so wrong (loving me so wrong)
Ay, ay-ay-ay, you missed out
Ay, ay-ay-ay, don't come back
