Don't ever trust a woman, until she's dead and buried 
Yes, don't ever trust a woman, until she's dead and buried 
One day she'll say that she loves you and the next day she'll throw you in the street 
She'll smother you with kisses, when her birthday comes around 
But soon as she gets her presents, she'll down talk you all over over town 
No, don't ever trust a woman, until she's dead and buried 
One day she'll say that she loves you and the next day she'll throw you in the street 
She'll beg you for clothes and diamonds, until you're all in hock 
And then you'll come home one mornin' and your key won't fit the lock 
Don't ever trust a woman, until she's dead and buried 
Well, one day she'll say that she loves you, the next day she'll throw you in the street 
She'll call you every mornin', every mornin', noon and night 
She'll call you in between times, just to see if you're doin' alright 
She'll ask to borrow five and then she'll beg for ten 
And baby that five and ten, you won't ever see again! 
Man, don't ever trust a woman, man, until she's dead and buried 
One day she'll say that she loves you and the next day she'll throw you in the street
