Gorging on ice cream
She’s now on a binge
See she played with fire
And then she got singed
They say she hasn’t bathed
Or washed in days
As an awful consequence of
Her cheating ways

She chose to break dawn
With a married man
But the point of the matter is
Someone other than
The guy she lived with
That she claimed to love
She’s so full of
What I’m thinking of

She jilted her boyfriend
For a new flame
Which naturally upset him
Though that wasn’t her aim
One night of passion
She thought might be fun
With an older man
But look what she’s done

She chose to break dawn
With a married man
But the point of the matter is
Someone other than
The guy she lived with
That she claimed to love
She’s so full of
What I'm thinkin' of

Now she’s all alone
With the memory
Of someone she lost
Because she couldn’t see
Beyond her desire
For forbidden fruit
Now it is dire
And also absolute

He felt disgraced
In such a public way
That he said goodbye
Cuz what else could he say
And now she regrets
Everything that she did
But sorry is much too late
You’ll have to admit

She chose to break dawn
With a married man
But the point of the matter is
Someone other than
The guy she lived with
That she claimed to love
She’s so full of
What I'm thinkin' of

It’s a tale of caution
If you’re likewise inclined
All that glitters isn’t gold
You too will find
Unless you’re prepared
For the consequence
Being unfaithful
Doesn’t make any sense
