Lyrics
You reap what you sow, you're gonna pay for your sins
You're no longer welcome in the world you're living in
First you cheated, then you lied and I held her while she cried
Did you think she'd want you back when her tears had dried?
Three hearts, one broken, too bad for you
Well there ain't no second chances for a heart that isn't true
So take your day late, dime short effort and pack it in your bag
Three hearts, one broken, too bad
Now, I've walked a mile or two with her, yeah I've been in your shoes
To walk ten more and reach her door, well I would not refuse
Her look, her style, her attitude will never disappear
Like her memories of you with every passing year
Three hearts, one broken, too bad it's yours
Well maybe you got exactly what you deserved
Just remember all the good times and she'll recall the sad
Three hearts, one broken, too bad
