You Tried To Ruin My Name

by Wilma Lee Cooper

Lyrics
You should go and hang your head in shame
The way you tried to ruin my name
You even tried to put the blame on me
When all along 'twas you
Who was breaking every sacred vow
You didn't worry where or how
I hope that you are paying for the way
You left me crying here alone and blue

With your fast talk and your smile so sweet
I let you sweep me off my feet
Thought my life would be complete
To have you for my very own
Like a sailboat with no wind around
I had no power to turn you down
You had your way with me 'til you grew tired
And went your way and left me here alone

You should go and hang your head in shame
The way you tried to ruin my name
You even tried to put the blame on me
When all along 'twas you
Who was breaking every sacred vow
You didn't worry where or how
I hope that you are paying for the way
You left me crying here alone and blue

What a shame the way you made me fall
I gave my heart, my soul, my all
In answer to your lovesick call
In hope someday I'd be your wife
But the only thing you gave to me
Was bitter tears and misery
I may be wrong, but seems to me
That you should pay for what you've done
'Cause you have ruined my life

You should go and hang your head in shame
The way you tried to ruin my name
You even tried to put the blame on me
When all along 'twas you
Who was breaking every sacred vow
You didn't worry where or how
I hope that you are paying for the way
You left me crying here alone and blue
