Wilma Lee Cooper - You Tried to Ruin My Name 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
I 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 till 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 and all
In answer to your lovesick call in home someday I'll 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 all 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
