Lyrics:

Rotten in the cellar, almost dead
Since I know you, fellow, I'm a runaway cat
Love is a drug, it's a dangerous pill
If you got stuck, you're gonna lose your will

Fruits and liquor taste so sweet
But I'm just trying to get back on my feet
I should have known better by the time we met
But tell me how could I know, baby
That you're making me sick

You've played a cheap trick
Good God, won't you bless my soul
Yes, I've learned my lesson
Lord, I've burned my hands
'Cause you've played a cheap trick
You made a fool out of everyone
I guess you know how to get your fun
Don't ever come back
Please walk on by 'til the day that I die

I slept all night at your side
You gave me kisses while you took my pride
Took my money, ate my soul
You used my body with complete control
Stepped on my nerves, breathed my air
Baby you should try to get a job as Mr. Nightmare
I should have known better by the time we met
But tell me how could I know, baby
That you're making me sick

You've played a cheap trick
Good God, won't you bless my soul
Yes, I've learned my lesson
Lord, I've burned my hands
'Cause you've played a cheap trick
You made a fool out of everyone
I guess you know how to get your fun
Don't ever come back
Please walk on by 'til the day that I die

'Cause I don't want to see you again
No, no, no, no you won't get me down
No more tears and pain
No

I keep on walkin' and I keep on movin' 'cause I know my way
You keep on talkin' and you keep on prayin', beggin' to stay
But baby, that's no way

You've played a cheap trick
Good God, won't you bless my soul
Yes, I've learned my lesson
Lord, I've burned my hands
'Cause you've played a cheap trick
You made a fool out of everyone
I guess you know how to get your fun
Don't ever come back
Please walk on by 'til the day that I die

Everything could be so easy if you just would walk away
Out of my life, out of my sight
I know you're wrong but you think you're so right
All I wanted is a friend, all I needed was you
But I got in a whole lot o' trouble
Thank God I'm over you
Over you
